I thought I would post this here in case it helps anybody who is developing a large mod, and I havent seen it posted before.
At the CCTP mod we have been having an array error message popping up when using it and starting games using maps made in world builder, I traced it back to the buildings file and in particular the number of buildingclass entries.
There seems to be a limit of around 300-400 of these allowed as a pure guestimate if you are starting a game using a map made in world builder. Other map types such as continents are not affected since they load a different way and have no need to make a list of building classes in game for building the map. This seems to be hardcoded as I have not seen anything in the lua files.
If anyone is interested the proof of this can be seen by:
Activate CTP and start a game selecting the earth map, which is a worldbuilder made map Array Error pops up.
Activate CTP and start a game selecting continents map, which is not a worldbuider made map NO array error Message pops up.
Delete MonopolyBuildings.xml file from CTP mod, this removes a large number of buildingclasses
Activate CTP and start a game selecting earth map NO Array error message pops up
