Description:

When the total number of networked entities become > 2048* (depends on your game),
server receive crash

ED_Alloc: no free edicts

This plugin can help you with manual searching for a reason of entities leaking by logging all entities once per map whenever the total number of networked entities become > MAX, defined by you.

List of info that is to be logged:

- Time
- Map name
- Delta report since the latest snapshot (it is a difference between entities, spawned when map started and entities at the moment of a leak detection )
- Weapon names per each slot per each player
- Player names and their teams
- total entities
- total networked entities
- per each entity:
> class name
> target name
> model name
> origin (position)
> is within Saferoom (L4D only)
> HammerId

Log location: /addons/sourcemod/logs/entity_limit_<date-time>.log

ConVars (Settings):

Located at cfg/sourcemod/sm_entity_limit.cfg

- sm_entity_limit_unsafe_left - def.: 150 - Plugin creates report when the number of free entities is less than this ConVar
- sm_entity_limit_delay - def.: 10.0 - Delay to be used after map start to create entities snapshot for calculating the entities delta when a leak happens

Commands:

- sm_entlog - instantly creates the entities report
- sm_entsnap - creates entities snapshot which is to be used for calculating the entities delta (when leak happens or sm_entlog used)

- sm_entcrash - (available if only you enable DEBUG 1) - creates new 300 dummy entities to imitate the crash

Installation:

- copy .smx to addons/sourcemod/plugins

Updated to v2.0.

Original version report contained too many entities of each class making the manual analysis of a leak to be quite a non-trivial task.

In v2.0, I decided to provide a delta.
So, when the map is started, logger creates snapshot of all entities.
Next time, when the leak heppens, Entity Logger creates a report for you with a delta:

1) Difference in total number of entities per each class between current moment and a snapshot.
2) Detailed list of all entities MINUS those entities from a snapshot.

Thus, you can quite easily detect which identical entities are leaking. See the sample log in 1st post.

ChangeLog:

- Added Delta report - Beautified - New ConVar "sm_entity_limit_unsafe_left" - New ConVar "sm_entity_limit_delay" - New command "sm_entsnap" - Logs are separated by file per date/time.

Thanks for this. I'll give it a try.

I'm assuming there is no problem with running this concurrently with the wonderful '[ANY] Security entity limit' written by the talented Benoist3012'?

[Dragokas]

They do not conflict, if priorities met. My plugin should be first in detection order. By default - everything OK.

"Security entity limit" has a detection point == 1950 entities.
"Entity Limits Logger" has sm_entity_limit_unsafe_left ConVar == 150, means MAX (e.g. 2048 ) - 150 = 1898 entities,
which will be detected earlier.

[Dragokas]

Updated.

v2.1 - Added HammerId

[Wizards]

This is my Entity Log file. Can somebody explain it to me? i really dont understand this error because it's too much line.

[Dragokas]

Automatic parser is already provides analysis for you at the very begin of the file:

DELTA - {Class Count} * This section describes the number of entity classes, which increased since the latest snapshot * +5 prop_physics_override +1 commentary_dummy +8 predicted_viewmodel +1237 info_particle_system +3 point_hurt +1 weapon_hunting_rifle +4 weapon_grenade_launcher +4 player +1 weapon_tank_claw +19 weapon_molotov +1 ability_throw

You have info_particle_system leaking. Some plugin creates particles, but don't delete.

[NoroHime]

may we log entity name as GetEntityNetClass? GetEntityClassname is so hard to identify

[Dragokas]

@NoroHime, can you provide an example, which class?

sometime counts many prop_physics_override, but they has different net class, just another suggestion, maybe generate more info to debug
