I sow that many scripts stops working if Format() parameters are too many.

For example:

Format(sql, 1024, "some sql %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f %s %d %d %f", param1, param2, param3, param4, param5, param6 etc..);

This will not be executed because too many parameters 30 or more.. To make it work, i had to split that in to several format() with max 11 parameters.

Why this is happening ? Some time ago this wasn't a problem. Until now.

How it didn't work? A compiler error or a run-time error? Or just didn't format correctly?

no compilator error, just not working, format is correctly. It's just not executed by sourcemod engine. And all code after this format() not executed.

I don't know where Sourcemod logs its errors and all that stuff, but if no code in that particular function executes after Format() call, it should mean that native has thrown a run-time error. There is probably a log somewhere that says what exactly wrong is going on.

Also, knowing Pawn, there should be no limit to the amount of arguments you can pass into a function (the only limitation should be the stack size, each passed argument takes 4 bytes on it), so I believe you are doing something else wrong. Probably passing too few arguments to the function.

SourceMod logs plugin runtime errors in the error log file located in the logs folder of the running SM base folder (folder containing: plugins, data, etc)

try just not doing that.

It might have to do with stack allocation on the vm (oh, it's a native, nevermind)

[Peace-Maker]

That's a bug. The compiler doesn't enforce the right call argument count. The maximal argument count of a function defined in SP is 32, but you can call a function with up to 127 arguments. Since Format is a vararg function, the compiler lets you currently call it with more than 32 arguments, but the vm checks for the max of 32 in its validator since SM 1.9.

You shouldn't call Format with that many arguments though - unreadable!
