Some entities on L4D series (since is a campaign mode) are created while advancing through map and it is quite easy for the plugin to return some false positives about which entity should be deleted or not.

I recommend using it together with [DEV] Entity Limits Logger, and trying to track if is some map specific problem (like c1m3_mall, which is the most common map that crashes the server because entity limits)

A solution that I already shared somewhere is deleting some "unused" entities with stripper on map load to release more slots. Still may have some bad optimized plugin that is not deleting the entities as should and leading to your server crashes.

im annotated "[SEL]No old entities in the map, the entity %i(%s) has been deleted" feature then plugin wont crash my custom map server and keep delete older entities

Re: [ANY]Security entity limit (0.5.4v)

It's still not 100% guaranteed, some entities may be created during the map with VScript or other workarounds.
Anyway use at your own risk.

Re: [ANY]Security entity limit (0.5.4v)

I use this to kill "env_sprite" for insurgency maps that crash from the entity limit. Works np, it just removes some glow effects around light sources. It may differ in other games/maps.

PHP Code:


		
			
#pragma semicolon 1

#pragma newdecls required



#include <sourcemod>

#include <sdktools>



public Plugin myinfo = {

    name = "remove_entities",

    author = "",

    description = "remove map entities",

    version = "1.0"

};



public void OnMapStart() {

    char sMapname[64];

    GetCurrentMap(sMapname, sizeof(sMapname));

    if (StrEqual(sMapname, "embassy_coop")

    || StrEqual(sMapname, "congress_coop")

    || StrEqual(sMapname, "frequency_open_coop")

    || StrEqual(sMapname, "prospect_coop_b6")

    || StrEqual(sMapname, "congress_open_coop")) {

        KllAllEntities("env_sprite");

    }

}



void KllAllEntities(char[] sEnt) {

    int iCount = 0;

    char sClassName[32];

    for (int i = MaxClients; i <= GetMaxEntities(); i++) {

        if (!IsValidEntity(i))

            continue;

        if (GetEntityClassname(i, sClassName, sizeof(sClassName))) {

            if (StrEqual(sEnt, sClassName, false)/* && (i & 1)*/) {

                AcceptEntityInput(i, "Kill");

                iCount++;

            }

        }

    }

    PrintToServer("!!! KILLED %i %s !!!", iCount, sEnt);

}

Just remove line 43 with the "teamplay_round_start" event hook.

Re: [ANY]Security entity limit (0.5.4v)

I wouldn't recommend using this for L4D2, I've got crashes with some maps (Buried Deep map 2 for example), only have this plugin installed. I think its delete the necessary entities or something important for the map to work

Re: [ANY]Security entity limit (0.5.4v)

Tested in Insurgency server but the counter is not being shown.. (used the "sm_sel_show_counter" command and it seems that the plugin is active) any suggestion?
