[char4n]

hi! some time a go i started whit this problem in some maps, like cityrocket for example:

Code: Select all

----- Client Shutdown (Client fatal crashed: Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 6859704 bytes from the main zone) -----
recursive error after: Z_Malloc: failed on allocation of 6859704 bytes from the main zone

One month a go i can play this map whithout any problem, but now this happend...

oooo, sorry, i solve it deleting some maps from de "defrag" folder and now works.

but i dont know the reason.. whats the limit of pk3's? why just some maps are affected?

you really shouldn't have more than like 200(just a guess) .pk3's in your defrag/baseq3 folder.

repack your maps.

Or if you're reaaaally bored you can do it manually.

I couldn't find my repacker for my defrag client so I'll be posting my repacker for the server pk3s. It filters the bsp-files out because that's the only thing the server needs.

I don't know your level of bash scripting. In case you need help to modify it to your needs, I can help you. This should be pretty strait forward, though. unpack all the pk3s (they are just zip files with different ending), filter by name and then zip the whole content.
You basically just have to skip the filter stuff.

Remember: don't repack the pk3 files that come with defrag. They might get mixed up with new data from future defrag versions.
