when boss rage,all visual details will be lost in the server,
for example the rocket's smoke,and particle effects on hat,medic's medical beam will be lost,
every visual details disappear.
i dont know this BUG is Valve Official or my plugins.
but this problem occurs at the Xmas update or later.

please help.

I've never seen this before. Maybe it's just your client?

Do other people see this, or is it just you? It also helps to attach a list of plugins your server is running.

You're likely just exhausting the particle limit on the client.

Check the console next time it happens and you'll likely see lots of "Particles: maximum verts exceeded:".

Just seemingly some limitation valve placed on particle rendering a few updates ago.

yes,how can i fix that?

At event_round_start, add this. Very inefficient but should be some kind of workaround.

else if (!strcmp(s, "info_particle_system"))
            AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Kill");

Should go in this piece of code.

for(new ent = MaxClients+1; ent < ME; ent++)
    {
        if (!IsValidEdict(ent))
            continue;
        GetEdictClassname(ent, s, 64);
        if (!strcmp(s,"func_regenerate"))
            AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Kill");
        else if (!strcmp(s, "func_respawnroomvisualizer"))
            AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Disable");
        else if (!strcmp(s, "item_ammopack_full") || !strcmp(s, "item_ammopack_medium"))
        {
            GetEntPropVector(ent, Prop_Send, "m_vecOrigin", pos);  
            AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Kill");
            ent2 = CreateEntityByName("item_ammopack_small");
            TeleportEntity(ent2, pos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
            DispatchSpawn(ent2);
        }
    }

thanks,but it's null.
i tred "kill" or "Disable" thats null all.
do you have a better ideas?

at event_round_start and i use VSH plugins,not FF2.thats my code:

PHP Code:

 new ent = -1;
 decl Float:pos[3];
 while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname2(ent, "func_regenerate")) != -1)
  AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Disable");
 ent = -1;
 while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname2(ent, "func_respawnroomvisualizer")) != -1)
  AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Disable");
 ent = -1;
 while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname2(ent, "info_particle_system")) != -1)
  AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Disable");
 ent = -1;

You can't "fix" it, it's something Valve would have to do.

Your only other option is just killing particle entities like Darthmule suggested, but I wouldn't bother.

[Darthmule]

 while ((ent = FindEntityByClassname2(ent, "info_particle_system")) != -1)
  AcceptEntityInput(ent, "Kill");
 ent = -1;

Maybe this would work, eminemxw88.

[eminemxw88]

thank you,maybe i know what can i do .
