Hello, I created a map yesterday in which I have 3 groups of AIs fighting. The map runs fine for a while then at a random time (the timing is never consistant) I get a random message saying "Exception!" and then it says Halo has encountered a problem and needs to close. Thinking that maybe something in the map was missing I looked over it to see if that was the case, I opened it in Guerilla and found nothing missing and was successful in opening it in Sapien again. I thought that maybe if I rebuilt the map with tool the problem might be solved, but unfortuantly this was not the case. The map has some custom AI's and some modded weapons but I have had these same things in other maps I have created with no issues, however I do get a message in Sapien saying " AI knowledge database (768 Entries) is Full" I have encountered this message before, but it never seemed to cause any problems, is this message the problem? I can upload the map here or e-mail it to you if it would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Could be that there is too many ai and too much fighting is going on

Not excactly sure, it could be the problem but I have created maps with more AIs and didn't encounter this problem, so I don't think it is, but I'm not excactly sure. Thanks for the reply!

Unless you have a ridiculous (90+) amount of AIs in the same graphic zone, I don't think simple numbers would crash the map. Try pruning things like grenades in the starting equipment as qwerty suggested and see if it helps.

I got rid of the grenades then recompiled the map, but still get an exception. Are there any other specific things that I should get rid of, eg. vehicles etc. Or is there a way to check what excactly giving you the exception? Thanks for the help!

Last time i got that message, the map had too many firing positions. Reduce the number of firing positions per encounter to less than 256 and try again?

Does this mean that you could get around that restriction by splitting up encounters into multiple smaller ones?

Ok I got rid of a bunch the firing positions but now I get this error:
### ERROR rasterizer memory pool exceeded <- this comes up 9 times
then it says
too many errors, only printing to debug.txt
I also don't see any file called debug.txt,
any idea on how to fix this?

Ok this is what I get:

Some guy before had the same problem, and this worked for him:

Darn... Sounds like I'm gonna have to delete the Ais and find some way to have the same effect but with less of them, well thanks for the help everyone!
