"Error! Couldn't send snapshot"
« on: June 29, 2006, 06:09:43 PM »
Hello, I have ULX running on my server. I use the eSwep menu which relies on ULX. The problem I'm facing now though is that ULX is causing problems. If the ULX_Init is placed in my init folder, so it loads upon launch, I get an error when making a server. So it only occurs when ULX runs.:

ERROR! SendData reliabe data too big (7748)Dropped [D*F*M] Otter from server
Reason:  ERROR! Couldn't send snapshot.
Disconnect: ERROR! Couldn't send snapshot..
Disconnect: ERROR! Couldn't send snapshot..

Is this occuring with anyone else/anyone know of a fix?

I've personally not seen this error while running ULX, though I have seen it while attempting to join a friends non-ulx server.
It was after his server had been running for several hours, and many players had various builds/projects about the map. A Snapshot is the 'image' of various pieces/placements/player locations/etc the server sends to your client. (Some may not have known this, if you did, my apologies)

I presume you're getting this upon server start.
1) Can you run other maps and not get this error? (Some maps cause this easier than others, freespace03 I know of seems to)
2) Does this only occur when you have eSwep loaded? (You mentioned it as though you just added and it broke)
3) Have you recently added any other mods? (To server, don't have to be lua plugins)
4) Tried running ULX only? Its possible one of the weapons (if you have any) is causing this error

If this just started, I'd guestimate(tm) that either eSwep has some sort of issue, or one of your sweps does.

I apologize for the time it took to respond, I didn't think I posted the original thread. This error usually shows up when I first create the server. I would test enabling/disabling my mods, lua scripts, and maps; but I'm going on a trip for a week or so.

Hope you (have/had) a good trip/holiday/vacation.
