Well I figured it out and now everything works like a champ. I would like to point out that the newer admin pro mod is causing some players to crash to their desktop, prior to updating weapon select conversion. It usually happens when someone is on fire, another players goes near them and crash. Is that sound comming from the standard ubersound.scr or uberdialog.scr? Is there a way to mute that sound or change it?

PacMan

When ya get a chance, come on in at our AA server: 67.19.118.141 hosting your admin pro ver 1.12

   Apparently when the individual goes on fire and someone goes near it crashes. It occurs sporactically and unplanned. I will let ya see whats wrong, also, this never happened with your earlier version. Thanks again for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

v.strange u crash

   

   did u try without Foresight?

   

   on my server it doesnt crash me:S

   

   Did u use the settings for the right version?

PacMan

Thanks Elgan,

   

   For comming in and checking it out. I first used your newer version without adding new scripts to it, i used foresight, also used mefys script, and it crashed. Your older version did not crashed with using foresight and mefys script. I am going to turn off the camper mod in your newer version and see if that crashes me. I am glad that you checked it out yourself and saw what i was talking about, thank you again. Where u able to see what the error was by any chance?

i didnt find the error yet.

   

   

   

   u say it happens even if camper mod is the ONLY mod on the server and no foresight ?

   

   are u sure ur using settings file and folder from 1.12?

PacMan

Heres what I did:

   

   1. I used your older version with settings folder and uploaded it. I used the camper mod for that version only and everything worked perfectly without the added weapon select mod.

   

   2. I decided to upgrade to your latest addition. I uploaded that with the new "setting" folder as well. *** removing the older version beforehand ***. I ran it for one week straight with camper and "Time" alive mod only (NO WEAPON SELECT MOD ADDED). During that one week, my clients were complaining of "crashing" to their desktops. I went ahead and decided to addon the "weapon select" mod anyways. It still crashed people to their desktops. I am going to revert back to the original, since I had no issues of clients "crashing" to their desktops.

   

   Let me know what ya think.

i dont see how sending me the file wud help when i have admin pro :S

   

   send if u want

   

   i have the Mod , :S u said it happenbed before u messed with it and weapons select so:S

PacMan

nP,

   

   I noticed this code in your types.scr "local.player playsound fire_large", now you don't have any ubersound or uberdiag script files in your pack. So where exactly is the sound being drawn? I do see that you have a "sounds.scr" file. Here is an example of a code to call for sounds in your sound.scr:

   local.master aliascache alarm_switch sound/mechanics/Mec_Switch_05.wav soundparms 1.5 0.0 1.0 0.0 800 3000 auto loaded maps level.mapname

   

   Now I looked in there and I did not see anything asking for fire sound. Do you have that somewhere else besides "local.player playsound fire_large" that is located inside the "types.scr"?

what makes u think its the sound?

   

   just try removing the sound then, see if that works as its the only thing i did add.

   

   i have appeared to of missed the alias. However this shouldnt really matter:s it may be what is causing the crash though.

   

    did any1 else find this?

PacMan

Here's the problem if its not set up as alias, then it will call for the default sound from your stock setup. The stock setup does not call for that sound for all maps, only certain ones. Also, if clients are using soundfixes for sp maps, than it will conflict, however, if you set it up as an alias, then yours will overite all. I am reverting back to your old version with "weapon select" addon, also with no fire sound. I have to hand it to ya Elgan, very nice work on the admin pro. Keep up the good work.

but removing the sound stopped people crashing?

   

   because playing a un aliased sound would not usualy crash a player. SO unless it's proven that it is it we still dont know.

PacMan

Well I removed the play fire sound and no one is crashing, however, I used the older version with "weapon select". I will try your new version with "weapon select" and no play fire sound.
