Spearhead server crashing

[twl_viper]

what does cvar "session" do? how is it used?

[Salombo]

It has to do with the number of times ( maps ) the mam files were loaded. So session #16, will tell you that this is the 16th map in your rotation since the server was started.

   It will count each map/rounds also in roundbased gametype I think, as if each round was a new map.

   

   Here are some handy mam commands:

   

   rcon mam_running       //returns version number running

   rcon mam_register_mod  //returns a string of registered mods

   rcon mam_session       //returns the session number

thanks - then "session" cvar is something else ? usually is the same as gametype

   

   I have the server running pretty well except it locks up after about 8 maps with 6 or plus players. It may not crash but disconnects intermitently - if I can manage to get a restart in it recovers.

Have you checked to see if the server has any problems without using the private slots? Like remove private slots from cfg?

[twl_viper]

Thanks - ill try that again - it didnt help last time but ive made many changes. hard to determine the problem when it's narrowed down to the mod and the cfg - as they need each other.

   

   

   AAAArgh - it's been over a month - im going to let this go for a while. Maybe someone with a spearhead server would like to take a shot at this - if interested I will send you a modified version of ski's mod with my addition of all the spearhead maps.

   

   let me know

   

   Thanks

Been doing team for so long - I feel like objective don't like me.  Here are all the objectives ski made for aa and my addition of the spearhead maps minus [malta and unterseit]. I also modified some of ski's by adding more random locations and modified omaha to norespawn -allies spawn downstairs and inside the skirt.

   

   all objectives have random locations ----

   

   Holland is my favorite with two random objectives - check it out.

   

   Gewitter has an objective for each team [fixed locations]

   

   I am intentionally not providing the cobfig because i believe it is the cause of the crashing -------

   

   

   If anybody can get this working strong on Spearhead I would appreciate the help.

   

   

   

   THX

vipe change the

self.target

to

level.target

to get rid of those errors let me know if that worked..did for me

[twl_viper]

where is self.target defined? I dont see it.

   

   

   edit***

   

   ah in obj_dm1.scr

   

   ok will try this ----- I see Spearhead does not use this script - maybe -- will let you know

[twl_viper]

I wiped my server for the 5th time and put Klugs ft-obj mefy addon on the server - at first I had the same problem, so this time I constructed the config on the config browser provided by gameservers. Here's the thing.

   

   I got an error when inputting the RCON password - it asked for digits only - no alpha. I changed the password to all numeric and the problem seems to have fixed. It seems odd - i run my team servers for some time without the same trouble.

[twl_viper]

I have come to the conclusion that I can not run these mods if any modifications to ubersound or uberdialog are present on my server.

   

   I wonder if this is a linux issue, and would be interested if anyone runs this type of mod on a linux server with sound modifications.

post whatever files ya using and i will test them on our spearhead linux server if ya like...our server prob has more sound modifications than any server out there so will be good test:yes
