You can use "report_entities" in console and it will show you how many of
each entity is on the map, and the total number of entities.
There was also a commmand, -num_edicts INT via command line that used to
allow you to increase this.
I haven't tested the command in well over a year, so if it still works now,
is beyond me.
Good luck!

Of course - but if you have a certain size of backpack on your back that
you can carry, it's not easy to add extra weight without making it too
heavy.
What i'm trying to say is, there are certain limits and going over them
will cause issues somewhere, propably way more than now. Source engine has
it's limits (especially when it comes down to memory usage) and currently
if you see edicts error, those are being hit. Making them bigger is
something that Source2 will fix propably address but i believe it's
impossible to priovide a workaround on current engine by Valve.
Your options are lowering edicts count by less players, running less
entity heavy maps or decreasing extra plugins that generate entities, even
temporarely ones.

As long as a 32 player server can be set without "hacks" any issues that
arise should still be fixed.

Maps generally have under 1400 dynamic entities (limit is 2047), on top
of
that goes all items, rockets, etc dynamic entities that are generated on
the fly. The more players there are, the more entities there are. Thats
why
larger servers and plugin heavy ones will crash first. I haven't seen a
crash for ages on my servers but my own client crashes every 2-4 maps
and
always on mapchange. Though i run only 24 slot servers these days on
TF2,
so i won't go over the limit that easily.

There is however a setting that you can say that if it occurs, it will
restart the server or change maps (to get back to normal) cannot recall
the settings 1.2.3. but I usually set it to changelevel so that if it
occurs its better than having all the clients enduring a crash.

Just had a crash with this and I don't ever remember having a crash
because of running out of edicts before. Anyone else experience this
lately?
