Terrain&game_load&nexus (strange bug)

Hello jcl,

Firstly, sorry for my poor english but i think this is important. if I assign "action" to terrain, every time i try to "game_load", nexus is increasing. on A7, if terrain_chunk is set to 0, no problem. on A8 nexus still increasing.

Thanks - we'll look into that. There is a problem in A8 not with the nexus itself, but with the nexus display. This seems to be related.

also if you set
compatibilty = 13;
?
some time ago I got strange high nexus values , but since I set it I had no problem... maybe unrelated, it could have been caused by nexus overflow resulted by setting -nx or max_nexus by a starting level to 200... don't remember exactly.

anyway, a little nexus article would be great about how to use it and how to not to use, and as a possibility to use dynamic memory allocation instead. my editor can eat a lot of nexus, so maybe I would need a better memory management system...

You are right. but i am sure there is a problem about memory usage itself. because I've tested with ati tray tools. memory really incerasing. and i realize on A8, memory is still little increasing even without terrain's action. (nexus panel doesn't show it but ati tray tool show it)

Hi Jcl, any news? I spent 20 hours without sleeping to find reason of the memory problem like this guy; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu0_3RVcN_A

so I really wonder, how's it going. Did you verify/confirm this bug? any news?

what about using level_load with load game (temporary solution)

my workaround is just set terrain_chunk=0; it's work fine for me, because i use a7. so i don't need an update. (thank god) i am just curious...

imo level_load can't be solution in some circumstances and in commercial game. f.i. with large level, ent_next command etc. But thank you anyway.

The problem is indeed caused by loading, and unrelated to the wrong nexus display. This will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks!

As i said my workaround works fine on A7. But i'm worried about that; "this problem may cause other problems?"
Is there anything else I should know? I can not take advantage of update, you know i'm not A8 user.

As far as I know, it will not cause other problems. The additional nexus will be released when the level is changed.

Awesome! Thanks!

I'm having the same issue with NEXUS, but I am unsure which update you are speaking about, I am using A8 SED 8.10.3...

my question is, as MEMORY/ NEX increases, will it crash at some limit?
I have tried setting the compatabilty = 13 and terran_chunck = 0, but not luck

thanks
