Hi everybody,
I am running : Mani Admin Plugin v1.1.0zk, MetaMod:Source v1.3, EventScripts v1.1.0.010, ZombieMod v1.2.4
The problem I am having is just recently I started gettting random server crashes and I have no idea what could be causing them. I enclosed a screenshot of the server when its crashing. If anybody could take a look at it and tell me if anything sticks out I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Porsche

There isn't much information to be had in that image. Did you add any event scripts lately? Try disabling plugins one by one untill it stops.

I did add acerates lately but it was crashing before that I think. What other information can I get that will help decipher what is going on? Thanks a bunch for your help!

The best idea really is to turn off all things and turn on one by one... see which one or ones combine to crash.

Thanks for the advice guys. I currently have eventscripts disabled and it hasn't crashed yet. It sucks though because there are no napalm nades or poision smoke nades
It was weird because it only crashed once the server filled up with about 25+ people so I don't know if the thing is stable unless it is full and it only fills up at night when I'm at work. LOL What a predicament. Anyways thanks again for your help.

I doubt its ES I believe its probably all the stuff added by a particular script for ES that overloads when you have a lot of people.

Well I have a bunch :
Napalm nades
Poision smoke
switcher
acerates
popup
So now I have to add one a day and wait for the crash lol.
Thanks

lesser number of mods is better than a crash
Also try it with bots? it might get overloaded with bots and crash also.

Ok new update! I have been slowly adding stuff back onto the server everyday and haven't had one crash since. Right now I am running Eventscripts with Napalm nades and teleport scripts also running. 2 days and no crashy. Tonight I think I will add the poison smoke nades back and stop there.
As far as trying it with bots, I don't have any .navs for any of the maps in the server because I heard that zombiemod doesn't work with bots so...
Thanks again,
Porsche

ya if it crashses again just update the server using the "run" command.
