Strange Menyoo Bug

Taiphoon5000

Hi all,
So I load up my xml through Menyoo, I'm working away, spawning objects without issue and I get to 380 objects, and then Menyoo decides it won't spawn any more? It can still spawn peds and cars but no objects?

It was spawning objects fine earlier today, I haven't added any new mods or updated or changed anything, in fact the PC i'm building on has only been online so I can login to Social Club and continue using SP offline.

So Im at a loss as to what has changed? I have 2 Ymaps that load on startup that I'm adding interiors for, one of which is at its prop limit. Could this be stuffing me up?

If you have experienced this and can help please let me know!

@Taiphoon5000 What version of the game are you running? Menyoo is not updated any more (so, technically won't be compatible with the After Hours update).

Objects in ymaps won't affect how many you can spawn in Menyoo. Unless you are near a ymap with an extreme amount of objects in it. I've actually had this happen to me once, in a custom ymap of mine. Mind you, this may not be your situation, but, for me, I solved the issue by changing the following gameconfig entries to these values:

	<Item>
		<PoolName>IplStore</PoolName>
		<PoolSize value="4000"/>
	</Item>
	<Item>
		<PoolName>MapDataStore</PoolName>
		<PoolSize value="60000"/>
	</Item>
	<Item>
	<PoolName>Object</PoolName>
		<PoolSize value="3300"/>
	</Item>

Especially the 'Objects' entry may be pertinent to you (and always make a backup of your gameconfig first). After that, Menyoo would spawn extra objects again.

This sounds like my situation to a Tee. Im not modding on the After Hours update and I do have close to 3000 objects across 3 ymaps. Ill give this a try and report back.

Thanks so much!

@meimeiriver You hit the nail on the head! That change re-enabled spawning of objects. I can imagine a lot of people have had this problem, god i wish there was a Menyoo Manual where you could flip to the back pages, find the troubleshooting section and find fixes like this.

Thankyou good sir! And may many find this post just before they cave their head in with a brick.

Addendum:

Menyoo is pretty intuitive, overall. I think there actually is a Menyoo manual (on the 'other' GTA V site), but it's mostly just for spooner mode.

Also, this isn't really a Menyoo issue per se. We've not been doing ymaps for all that long yet, and I doubt the author ever foresaw the game would run out of resources like this. But yeah, took me a while until I figured this one out. I started smelling a rat when Menyoo would suddenly spawn more objects elsewhere (not near my ymap). Near my ymap, Menyoo would either not spawn more objects, or pretend to have spawn them, but they'd be listed as 'Invalid' when you try and manipulate them. There's also a good chance the game doesn't even offer a 'catchable' error for this (the gameconfig was, after all, made with their own, fixed number of used resources in mind). And let's face it, we're really pushing the envelope with our own ymap modding.
