Nope, its only HLDS.exe that freezes. It seems like it gets caught in a loop, and when its forzen I can tell because computer lags then. o_O

The problem could be caused by one of your plugins. For me, I'm running mEAn, metamod and podbot_mm, and I the server is very stable. What I'd do, is start fresh with a bare bones server, and add back the plugins one at a time until the problem reappears, that way you can figure out what is responsible for it. If the problem is caused by a combination of plugins, that's harder to figure out, but you could try adding only one plugin at a time to see if it is a combination thing or not.

i'm pretty sure its wc3 or a combination of it but I need to have both wc3ft & bots... You wouldnt mind setting up wc3ft on your server to test would you since mine still seems to crash no matter what lol... or another thing could be that I have TOO many things and it might flood the server. Needs to be a plugin that only allows commands to be sent when its open (ie token ring but with priority of high priority and low priority -- like you could have incombat plugins as high priority and stuff like mapchange low priority...)

it can also be that my server isnt as capable as yours...

OK ive seen something in common now or atleast some of the time. Whevever a bot trys to plant or defuse the bomb the server freezes...

Before you fix the problem, can you test out the latest serverloader, it has lockup detection put in place, but I need a frozen server to test it out on.

meanloader121.zip

If you can give me a link to wc3ft so I can install it that would be great.

robbob4 · **Re: Configuration -** 24-02-2005

hmm well I'll test it -- infact i'll make a test server without my fix.

What was happening was BotAim was making it where when bots planted the bomb the server froze. What I did to resolve this was deleted the podbot xp files pvp and pxp and installed the fixed verison of botaim and my server has been running past 24 hours! WOOT 8D

and thank you for making this -- this will be the ultimate process loader once we are done with it!

you should really use my website to get information liek this but heres the links

I bet your happy now that the problem is solved. Nothing worse than an unstable server to futz over. I hope you can recreate the lockup problem as I need a method of testing the server loader. I'm still trying to find a solution to HLDS shuting down on log off. I discovered some more options to try out, but I want to get the updatre to mEAn completed (for kicking spec bots). The coding is done, all I have to do next is test it then I'll post a download link in here for beta testing.

robbob4 · **Re: Configuration -** 25-02-2005

I think I had 2 things causing the problems, BotAim 2 and Wc3FT but now theyve overridden the files with the fixed version so I dont know, maybe I could find a plugin that you can tell it to make an infinate loop lol...

botmeister · **Re: Configuration -** 26-02-2005

Ah, good idea. I'll just write a silly program that loops forever, the load it up with the server loader. It should flag it as a hung app and kill it - if the detection works that is.

If I understand the problem, I could add a CVAR switch which you can set to either kick out spectating bots, or include them in the bot count.

See the update beta version 6.01 in the version updates section. I added a CVAR to kick spectating bots, and I added a CVAR to specify the bot balancing interval time.

I did allow the spectating bots to be included in the bot count because the bot balancing works by counting how many bots are on each team, and spectating bots are not any team. I'll look at this again, since I probably can do something that will work and in your case keeping the bots in place may work best - let me know.

robbob4 · **Re: Configuration -** 04-03-2005

Do you know if either of your new betas work now? and where can I dl both of em to try.

PS can you tell me on your new meanloader what all those bats are for... ie named notepad etc... I know they are examples but do i need to set anything up diff from what I have?
