Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash
A simple plugin can fix that. 2011/10/21 Dusan Tomic d...@mojsajt.co.uk Thx for trying to help. I didn't write this emails just because, i know i can change level with changelevel, but what if some kid finds exploit how to crash server. I mean, even if this command is for single player, it can be used in multiplayer as well. I have no problem using it on Linux box, only on windows one it produces server crash. -- Kind regards, Dusan Tomic -- *Od:* hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [ hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] u ime korisnika Eli Witt [ eliw...@gmail.com] *Poslato:* 20. oktobar 2011 23:35 *Za:* d...@forlix.org; Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list *Tema:* Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash Stop using changelevel2, it's not meant for multiplayer, why would you use a command you know crashes a server when there's a perfectly good command to not crash the server?

Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash
I think your issue is that the map can change level and not everyone is in the area near the landmark. You might want all players on the same room before you trigger the change. Also, use trigger_changelevel and not changelevel2, as someone before me said. Look at l4ds changelevl, which trigger when the checkpoint door is closed when everyone is in the safe room. My thoughts are that it is tricky to do, but should be possible. If your entity count allows you, use a teleport to another side of the map. I think there is a teleport with a landmark you can use along with a env_fade for an easy transition within Hope this helps Enviado desde mi oficina móvil BlackBerry® de Telcel -Original Message- From: Saul Rennison saul.renni...@gmail.com Sender: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:32:59 To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing listhlds@list.valvesoftware.com Reply-To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] CSS: changelevel2 causes server crash ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

You might want all players on the same room before you trigger the change. Also, use trigger_changelevel and not changelevel2, as someone before me said. Look at l4ds changelevl, which trigger when the checkpoint door is closed when everyone is in the safe room. My thoughts are that it is tricky to do, but should be possible. If your entity count allows you, use
