.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I'm still busy doing some nice SP->MP maps I think, but I've run into a snag:

I've made a couple of those lookout points (like those in the corners in training) accessible by ladder, and I'm now putting a floor in there using lids.

But I'm out of entities when trying to copy-paste the floor to the other tower.

There are a lot of entity's like the paths for AI and stuff that use up a lot of entities, but even if I removeclass those, for some reason I don't get more entities to use.
Even though the image with sv_shownetnums is pretty empty now the error remains.

Is there a way to 'defragmentate' ent numbers?

OK, I avoided the problem by remaking the floor with scaled up lids in stead of regular lids.
Still looks like a nice floor, only you can see the 2 right angled boards on the bottom of the lid sticking trough the floor now.

It did save me a whopping 144 script_objects per tower, so I'm off the hook.

Still very interested in a solution for the other entities, but less need for it now.

Pathnodes are not entities, they don't add to or subtract from the entity count. The only thing that works is reducing the number of actual entities.

There's also a cvar g_maxents which allows you to customize the maximum number of entities. It's not overly reliable though.

Strange thing is/was is that there were loads of func_rain entities (~170), after removeclass Rain (before spawning my own entities of course) I still got an error of going over the maximum amount of entities.

- Added 30 entities
- Error, no free edicts
- Removeclass rain (-170 entities)
- Still error
- Remove the 30 entities
- Error gone
