You might try removing all your add-ons and reinstalling.

I think this problem has something common with "too much WML".
I was never able to have installed all Conquest versions and the Ageless Era simultaneously on 1.8, and I remember a similar problem with 1.6 when I had many addons installed (but different ones).
I got these problems:
So I uninstalled the Ageless Era (35MB), and replaced it by a tiny version (600 KB) that is enough for Conquest: you can download it from the Conquest Minus thread (the link is in my signature)

I got these problems:
- the bottom end of the lobby list of maps was cut away
- Wesnoth became slower (at least the addons)

Re: Very strange problem with many add ons.Please try to hel
One trick how to solve the problem is to split your Wesnoth data into more folders:
I run several different instances of Wesnoth like this:
Of course I had to copy my Wesnoth data folder into 'BfW1.9_2nd_folder' (then I deleted some addons from BfW1.9_2nd_folder/data/add-ons/ )
You can get details about the command mode if you run Wesnoth with the parameter
I run several different instances of Wesnoth like this:
Code: Select all
"E:\Games\Battle for Wesnoth 1.9.13\wesnoth.exe" --config-dir "e:/Data/wesnoth/BfW1.9_2nd_folder/"
"E:\Games\Battle for Wesnoth 1.9.13\wesnoth.exe" --config-dir "e:/Data/wesnoth/BfW1.9_3rd_folder/"
...

, then look in the file stdout.txt. Anyway I attached the file:- Attachments

Have too much WML? Try the following!SlowThinker wrote:I think this problem has something common with "too much WML".
- Delete the cache. Read this post by SXC. Delete (or move away) the entire userdata/cache folder. (Where is userdata?)
- Increase the memory limit. I recommend at least 2 gigabytes for Wesnoth. This depends on your operating system. For Linux and Unix clones, the command ulimit -d should show at least 2097512 kilobytes. For OpenBSD, I increase the ulimit -d number by editing /etc/login.conf. For other Unix clones, I have no idea how to increase the ulimit -d number. For Windows, I have no idea what to do.

How often should the cache be deleted, how fast does it grow?
So the problem "too much WML" doesn't exist and it is "too large cache"? If I always clear the cache then the amount of WML is not important?
