Maybe you can help me with this. EVERYDAY, sometime in the afternoon to early evening, while I am at work, my server crashes. I restart it when I get home about 1am, and its fine till I leave for work the next evening about 4pm. I have tried alot of troubleshooting such as determining if one of the plugins is causing it by ; each plugin one at a time for days until I ran out of plugins that I added after installing admin mod. I also shut the server down and restarted it right before I left for work, and it still crashed before 8pm sometime. So, I turned to reading the forums and saw a thread about having too much stuff in my servercfg file. I took out all the unnecessary stuff, and left all the admin cvars with only a few of the hl cvars that are essential. Still crashed when I got home. I had logging on, and each time the server crashed, it had nothing in the log that I could see may have caused it. I just recently turned debug mode on, but I am unsure where that file is kept, or what to do with it. Also, isnt there a file that shows what error occurs when a server crashes? If so, where is it and whats it called, cause I cant find it. Is there a possibility that someone is causing the server to crash? If someone knows of a way that clients can crash a server, please tell me how so I can look for it in the logs, and ban the ass who may be doing it. I honestly think thats what may be happening. BTW, I had this same problem a while ago, but went away for a short time. I read back through the forums to my original post and Gerg said to post my log with debugging on, so thats what I will do after it crashes again. The last log I had at the crash (I deleted already ) just showd blank at the very end of it. I think someone had just built an SG or something. Somebody else posted to my original post saying there was a patch out for hlds? Is it for hlserver or just for cs server, cause I run a TFC server. If its for hlds, the please post the link so I can try that next. Here is one of the logs that I got when server crashed. I was in the server window at the time typing a message that I guess may have been too long and it created an error in hlds.exe. Hope you can give me some insight.
Attachment: l1018021.zip My buddy is having this same problem....... Before the last patch my server would be up for days straight. Now i'm lucky if it stays up for 12 hours. I have the latest version of admin mod plus the latest hl patch. I run a dedicated server on a Windows 2000 machine. Like i said, it worked great till that last hl patch. Here are the last 2 lines of my log before it went down....it usually ends alot like this...;L 10/16/2001 - 13:36:15: "[RB]Heretic<753><280117>" killed "Major Death Dog<751><1362904>" with "supershotgun" L 10/16/2001 - 13:36:17: "Major Death Dog<751><1362904>" triggered "info_player_teamspawn" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
