server crashes due to exceeding the max edicts limit.
i know that game engine have 2048 limit of edicts, but in logs:

...

L 08/23/2019 - 17:34:19: Engine error: ED_Alloc: no free edicts

we can see that 1370 edicts spawning without class.
plugins to create an entity in server not installed. crashing on many maps.
What is this and how i can fix that ?.

upd. other servers can run that maps without reaching the limit.

upd2. i made a plugin, which also seems not working.

PHP Code:

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity) {
    if(entity >= 2047) {
        SDKHook(entity, SDKHook_Spawn, OnSpawn);
    }
}

public Action OnSpawn(int entity) {
    AcceptEntityInput(entity, "kill");
    RemoveEdict(entity);
    return Plugin_Handled;
}

public void OnGameFrame() {
    for(int i = 2046; i <= 2048; i++) {
        if(IsValidEntity(i) && IsValidEdict(i)) {
            AcceptEntityInput(i, "kill");
            RemoveEdict(i);
        }
    }
}

IsValidEntity or IsValidEdic is probably returning false for the no name edicts. should check on OnEntityCreated classname if it's equal to "\0" or " " and sdkhook and kill it on spawn without checking if it's valid or not as the checks will probably fail. Seems like a bad plugin or possible anti map piracy thing that creates these ents to prevent other servers from running the map. They most likely remove the entity spawner with stripper mod source if it's the map so they can run it fine

crashing with all method. i tried, entitys still spawning.

well you need to find out whats spawning it exactly, if you have debugging skills you can hook the function for on entity creation, look at the stack and see what functions are leading to the call to find whats spawning it

Check which env_entity_maker is meant to crash the server and remove it.
