You need to make SURE as of the update that your mods
are using the approved valve api.
Valve release an official statement on the 25th. All non approved
hooks will no longer work with the updated srcds ending.
The errors on your console are all hooking errors and then it locked
(a logical error loop)
Please test WITHOUT your mods to verify the server is ok.
Then after verifying or updating the mods to the approved api after
the update on the 24th add them back 1 mod at a time.
Valve has now said non approved hooks will no longer work
and the mod makers must use the api to have the server run
correctly. This is as of the update for the source engine on the 24th.
You are running the new engine on your dods server and therefore it must
comply with the api rules valve set forth if you want a stable
server. Sorry about this but valve put their foot down 2 days ago
and they are not pulling any punches. The server will run very
very poorly updated with non api plugins. Meta mod does not
use the proper api they use hacked hooks the way i understand it.
Any server i have running thats UPDATED ***(it is possible
to still run dods with the old engine, but not css. Since yours was
installed yesterday it has the new srcds engine so some other server
may still work with the old mods and the old engine.)
You will need to verify the mods are api and only use them 1 at a
time testing. As you test for a while, you can add another until
the server gets unstable.
The console error message is a plugin related crash message.
Mattie the event scripts author says to use a newer version
of eventscripts than what you have running with the august update
you may want to start there.
Any help would be great, FYI I do run 1.3 on my DOD:S server.
