I've been burdened with the "ED_Alloc: no free edicts" error on bigger maps.

I know it would run without any plugins, but I would rather have the plugin that is creating too many entities uninstalled or fixed.

Is there a plugin or console command or any other technique to see which plugin from the list of running plugins is creating the most entities? Does it show how many entities are being spawned?

Look and see how many edicts the map has in it raw for starters - if you are over 80% without plugins it won't matter cause soon as someone starts shooting and whatever that will spike and there you go.

This limit that Valve has is just beyond stupid but what can you do.

But you don't know how to check how much a plugin is pumping out entities?
I still need to find out, since I know a plugin is causing an issue too, despite the fact that the map is quite large in entity count.

No, you can't (currently)
You could list the plugins that you have in the server and post here if you would like, usually when a plugin uses CreateEntityByName then it's making a new entity, however giving players weapons is also creating entities.

Giving players new weapons should delete their old weapons, so the net change should be 0.

Look at every plugin you run and ctrl f createentitybyname

[medic917]

yea I will be doing that. thanks for the tip guys.

[medic917]

would tf2 attribute plugins without CreateEntityByName cause entities to form?

[Potato Uno]

You likely have a bigger culprit than that. Keep searching.
