• Reducing amount of welds
    3 replies, posted
Me and my friends are building a house on my server which is made out of a large amount of props (around 400 props or so), when people try to connect to the server they get the famous "Reliable Snapshot Overflow" error. I have done some research on that error using Google and I found out that there are several things that could cause the problem, a very common one is having too many props with welds so that when people try to connect they cannot receive a reliable 'snapshot' of the server. The only reason we weld every single prop is because we want to save our progress using advanced duplicator. TL;DR: I would like to know if there's any tool or method to reduce the amount of welds or to save multiple props (using adv. duplicator or a similar tool) without having to weld them together.
Smart Constraint tool (or so I think) will make that work with less lag. [editline]15th August 2011[/editline] [url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=113230[/url] or so I believe.
Thanks for the answer, Steven, however that tool seems to make more welds than the building already had, because it does multiple welds per prop, and if I set the welds per prop setting to 1 then it will never weld the building together. I am looking for a tool that will weld the whole building in a chain of welds of 1 weld per prop so I could save it with advanced duplicator one way or another, or a method to save buildings without the need to weld every prop in it.
It's better to weld all the props to one central prop than to weld them in a chain. It's much more stable.
