Server crashes when bot joins - CSDM

[geras1m]

I am using CSDM plugin (amxx version) on Linux

I start server normally, but when i try to add bot, bot joins team and server crashed 2 seconds after...

[KWo]

What version of podbot mm, AMXX and CSDM You are using? What is Your CS version (CS1.5, CS1.6 non-steam, CS1.6-Steam, CZERO)?

[geras1m]

I'm using AMX MOD X 1.80 with CSDM 2.1.1 and PodBot mm V3 B18c (Counter-Strike 1.6 Steam) on Linux box.

[KWo]

How about the real - human-players? Can they join without any problem and the server is crashing ONLY if You add a bot? Have You tryied to add bots without amxx and csdm loaded (disable loading amxx in metamod's plugins.ini file for test)?

[geras1m]

I disabled CSDM mod but server still crashes after bots join.

EDIT: without amxx bots work perfectly. human players have no problems joining/playing on the server with amxx and csdm enabled.

[KWo]

So it looks some of Your AMX X plugin doesnt like my bots. Try to dsiable them all except default ones, then check if everything works. Then add one by one to see when it starts to crashing.

[geras1m]

i've tried that already. still crashes

I've asked to check without CSDM - only AMX X default. To do that You need to rename also the file called plugins-csdm.ini to disabled-csdm.ini - otherwise csdm will be still loaded. You need to check if You have CS addons pack installed.

[EDIT]
Remove these lines - You have installed CSDM incorrectly at all!!!
csdm_main.amxx
csdm_equip.amxx
csdm_spawn_preset.amxx
csdm_misc.amxx
[/EDIT]

[geras1m]

KWo, when i put ; (comment) in front of the every csdm plugin in amxx and also in modules.ini doesnt that mean that csdm will not be loaded ? Because that's what i did. It was running only AMXX then and still, server crashed.
