what about your hardware specifications? do u have enough memory? is your swap-file large enough (enough HDD space available)? what's the size of your data files?

Pls! I really need help T_T

650mb datasize... strange... I think there is a lot inside u never need

anyway "bad allocation" says something about it was impossible to allocate more memory for core by operating system... that's the problem here

because of your huge files... did u've set

Code: Select all

#
# UseWinLFH: Use Windows XP/2003 low-fragmentation Heap.
#            0|1 (default = 1)
#
UseWinLFH 1

in your servspecopt.cfg? if not, try it

Did you've access to the old pol core test groups on yahoo?
There is a pearl script to clean up the storage.txt file from things that are no more needed.
In most cases these are bankboxes of non existent players or from tamed animals. If they were not deleted by script on npc death or player deletion, the storage will grow larger and larger.
This tool will search for such items.

Old Core Area

Another thing you can do if i see that:

data/items.txt:......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... 1048266 elements in 223407 ms.

If these are not items your players have in their homes - don't know how many players you have - their must be a lot items you can make static. This could also save you a lot of wasted memory
