Compiling Error

UltraPrime · March 9th, 2011, 11:21 PM

When I compile data file, I get the following error:

One or more entities has a very large number of links assigned, which can result in poor performance and significant memory consumption for the end-use. Please consider re-working your files to reduce the number of links per entity to no more than 200.

I can basically see what the problem is, but I need to know exactly what counts towards this 200 so I can try editing some out and including them in an alternative way.

Any links - whether assigned directly to the unit, or to linksets - counts towards this limit.

Where are you running into the problem? That limit was set a long time ago, so we can potentially increase it a bit if it's affecting legitimate things. The important thing to remember is that if you have multiple units with that many links on them, things might start to slow down quite a bit.

I updated the Warhammer files for the new Orc book, and now get that error. Tried reducing as much as I could, but not much else I can do.

Can you email me a link to the files (colen@wolflair.com) so I can check which unit is causing the problems? Maybe I can suggest some ways of cutting down the links so you can avoid the message.
