[Solved] Random Freezing and other effects.

[wtfaatp]

So after the update my server has been acting realli weird.

First off its a Linux box (Gameserver hosted), The lastest updates to everything. The problem is that @ random maps @ randoms times of the day The map will not change over. People can still talk,type, and spawn, however the map will not change.

The other problem seems to be that randomly bots wont spawn. Other players can but bots wont.


I have deleted all other mods in (SM and MM:S, other then Sourcebans & Hlstatsx) I'm still getting both problems. There are no error logs to speak of in neither GG nor SM. I've seen no activity in the server console that would make me think anything would be wrong. Is anyone else having this problem? Has anyone found a fix for this problem?



P.S. I have done a complete re-install (cfg's and all) twice now and im still getting this problem :\
P.S.S If any one would like I can send my addons folder along with cfg just PM me ion the forums.

try this addon it works great and will show you errors...
http://addons.eventscripts.com/addons/view/errorlog

Please post the contents of any log files in your ../cfg/gungame51/logs/ directory.

And, instead of the addon tnarocks linked to (only because I am more used to the following addon), use:
http://addons.eventscripts.com/addons/view/excepthook

Run the server for a while, then post any errors that ExceptHook finds.

I'm also having problems after the latest update this past weekend (not sure when it went out).
The server won't start - sigh.
I've tried loading all of the latest downloads (6/25), but still no joy.

I'm not even sure where to start looking. If I run it from the command line (Windows Server) instead of the service, it throws a few lines on the screen, but I can't read them before the window closes. I can't find any logs and always seem to have trouble getting them to work. Any help, advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.



Best regards,

I'm not sure what all troubleshooting you have done, but try this (after each step, try to load the server):

• Remove all plugins and remove all es_load lines from your autoexec and server config files
• Install "only" EventScripts (still no scripts running)
• Install SPE (with EventScripts still loaded and no scripts running)
• Add "es_load gungame51" where you previously had it
• Add all other "es_load <script>" lines where you previously had them (if any)
• Install MetaMod: Source (if you had it installed previously)
• Install SourceMod (if you had it installed previously)
• Install ManiAdmin (if you had it installed previously)

Find out at which point the server stops loading, and let us know. Also, are you running the HLDSUpdateTool server or the Steam=>Tools dedicated server? If the later, I would highly recommend the former.

NO logs for me from either plugin :\... I've basicly done the above steps. :\ and I've tried to duplicate this error on another box with no luck.. :\ Satoon if you dont mind would you please look @ my server configs? Maybe It's something so stupidly simple. :\

Also I have dropped my server to nothing but SM,MM:S, ES, and GG5.1. This problem still happened.
I left all files AS IS. Just they way they came from the Dev.



I've also been told my my members that iceworld was cause the map not to change and make it hang so i took it from the map rotation and server waiting to hear news.

I'll do the uninstall/reinstall again. STEAM is definitely NOT getting a Christmas card this year.......

I'm not sure I understand. I just run the HLDSUpdateTool. I don't know how to change where it is pointed at. Perhaps I misunderstand.

I'll report back later this evening after work.


Thanks,

Wow im a MORON... Like I had previously stated...

Maybe It's something so stupidly simple. :\

Turns out that If you turn "mp_ignore_round_end_conditions 1" then when the round time reaches 0:00 bots will no longer respawn.


So that solved the bots thing, and from reports no server freezes which means 99% sure it was iceworld.

Thank you to everyone who helped me
