Default Re: ScoutzKnivez -- Server Map Problems - 16-02-2005

I tried scoutzknivez once before, unfortunately the map did not work with bots so I had to ditch it. I have no idea what is wrong with the map, but every time it was loaded it would crash my server after a short period of time. I did not however have a freeze situation. In my experience with running a server, I encountered several maps which did not work with bots and had to be removed. I created the mapload.log system to help me figure out which maps were causing server instablity. With the help of the log, I could see which maps caused the server to fail most often, then I'd just take them out of the map rotation. After a couple of weeks of weeding out unstable maps, my server almost never crashed. Keep in mind, the instability may NOT be the map, but may be the waypoints, so the first thing to replace are the waypoints, and if that does not fix the map, then you have to get rid of the map.

Now that you mention it, I think I may be able to detect server freezes through meanloader.
