Hi JCL, Would be nice if exceeding the number of max_entities would only give an error message and not quit the game in the development version. I want to use max_entities in my map editor and most of the times I use it is in development modus (since its a bit of a continous project for me). If it has to do with warn_level = 2, I would prefer to keep warn_level to 2 to prevent bugs sneaking in. (I have v 8.45) If this would delay other updates/changes/fixes than this post can be ignored. But if it is a quick fix it would be nice to have  .

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. I get an erro E1340 saying "not enough entities reserved (x)". As soon as I click Ok or click away the message, the game/editor crashes. This the ent_create code I am now testing it with:
function button_create_ent(var buttonnumber, PANEL* p_panelofbutton)
{
...
you = ent_create(select_filename_str, target_pos_vec, new_selection);
}
The action (new_selection) is not run as it should (checked it with error("test");) so that could not be it. And 'you' is not used in other global function before it is made NULL and e.g. filled with next_next again. Setting warn_level = 0; also does not help. But most importantly, I also get the error with a new dummy script. Maybe people could try the code beneath and check if it crashes or not when clicking 'ok':
///////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
///////////////////////////////
function main()
{
vec_set(screen_size,vector(1000,600,0));
wait(1);
video_window(NULL, NULL, 4+16+32+64+128, "my game");
vec_set(sky_color,vector(150,90,90)); // dark blue
vec_fill(sun_color.blue, 225);
d3d_antialias = 9;
shadow_stencil = 3;
max_entities = 1;
level_load(NULL);
ent_create(NULL, nullvector, NULL);
ent_create(NULL, nullvector, NULL);
}

I don't get a crash either.
@Reconnoiter: What exactly do you mean with "crash", just a simple clean exit or some Windows crash message?
EDIT: @below: Oh I've overlooked that.

this is what he said Hi JCL,
Would be nice if exceeding the number of max_entities would only give an error message and not quit the game in the development version.
so most likely just used a wrong word in the title ,the question as I see was about that and not crashing

@Reconnoiter: What exactly do you mean with "crash", just a simple clean exit or some Windows crash message? , sorry crash is the wrong word, I mean a simple exit. The error message appears and then the script terminates. , yeah I would like that only an error message appears but not that the script terminates (if it isn't to much asked that is). Exceeding max_entities is not game-breaking right (/creating memory errors etc.)? So I personally think terminating the script is a bit overkill.
