TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Running Windows servers. Anyone else having issues.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Running Linux, same thing, crashing constantly, completely broke. Thanks Valve.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

My server is crashing every time someone joins.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

yes

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

The update has also changed some plugins around that rely on the repository numbers. Needs a recompile with the new server files I believe

Is 1.7 still getting Gamedata updates?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

I don't think so

Edit: I guess they are :D

Re: Latest TF2 Patch Broked SM
 

Here is the crash I'm currently getting: https://crash.limetech.org/7p6j2trfvxxu

Things are fine if I remove all plugins. I'm currently trying to figure out which one may be causing it.

Re: Latest TF2 Patch Broked SM
 

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

I updated 1.7 as well, not sure how much longer it will be done, so updating is a good idea.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

I am still getting crashes at CTFPlayer::Weapon_Equip

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

There is multiple extensions/third party plugins that will have bad gamedata.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

No crashes here. What are you guys even running?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Maybe you updated after Drifter already fixed things?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Nope nothing is updated.

EDIT: Disable TF2Items if you have that installed.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Its on the updater, so you probably grabbed it. Or didnt use any of the hooks/calls that changed.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

will the 1.8 Stable windows be updated?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

^I'm not 100% sure if these are correct but I believe these changed in the last update and these ones seem to be working for Windows. (only tested on windows.)

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

It looks like tf2items givenameditem wasn't updated.

I thought it was included in the gamedata that Sourcemod maintains for a while?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

According to this https://asherkin.github.io/vtable/ IsWearable should be 88 linux, 87 windows. The rest seem to be correct.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Also this for TF2Items Gamedata (again not 100% sure if its correct but seems to be working on windows):

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

People should know that you need to mark your "official" gamedata file as read only or sourcemod will overwrite it with old values.

If I remember correctly tf2.items.txt is considered "official" unless it changed recently.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

It is reverting back to old gamedata that is the issue.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Wrong wrong wrong.

https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Gamedata...ng_(SourceMod) using the custom folder is the correct way to load gamedata that is custom.

Do not stop the updater from updating your files, you will most likely run into an issue at some point.

All SM's gamedata has been updated already in this case and should be on the updater.

tf2items isnt part of sm, it is a seperate extension maintained by asherkin, who controls the gamedata (which he will probably fix when he is awake). It happens to be on the gamedata updater, but its not official part of sm.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

what i need to do to fix the sourcemod?

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

^ what he said

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

If you're on SM 1.7 or higher, restart your server and it will pull correct data. Note that the TF2Items step mentioned below also requires a restart, so do it first if you use it. (If you are below 1.7, you will have to update)

If you are using TF2Items, you need to go to /gamedata/ and make a directory called "custom". Copy /gamedata/tf2.items.txt into /custom/tf2.items.txt and make the file have the following contents:
As mentioned, you need to make sure you delete this file in a few days after TF2Items is updated to automatically pull this correct data. If you forget to do this, your shit will break the next time the offset changes and it wont be able to download the updated offset.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

After updating the following offsets my servers seem to be working again (Windows OS):

"EquipWearable"

"RemoveWearable"

"GiveNamedItem"


Thanks to Drifter for the quick SM update.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

I tried using the custom folder a long time ago and it didn't work for some reason. Maybe it is fixed now?

Either way you do it, by making the file read only or using the custom folder, if you forget to undo the change, the result is the same.

I know that tf2items isn't a part of sm, but sourcemod is still overwriting the gamedata as though it was an official extension.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

now everything is working
but when i try to open the admin menu it shows
[SM] You do not have access to this command.
i checked all admin files and everything is ok `-` so weird

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

there was issues with it before, i believe they are all sorted now.

The result is indeed the same but its a lot easier to spot that there is a custom dir with a file (it also now logs as of a few months ago that a custom gamedata is being loaded). Than a read only flag being set on a file.

I misunderstood. I sadly am not aware of a way i can update tf2items gamedata or else i would have already.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Yes it was broken for a long time. I've tested the custom folder and it seems to work now though.

Isn't the gamedata list saved somewhere on the alliedmods server?

I think it would be convenient to automatically have gdc automatically download the updates from the Steam depot and automatically update the gamedata. And then if there were any issues then someone could go back and manually override them.

https://github.com/alliedmodders/sou...ls/gdc-psyfork

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

yes, but i believe that it pulls the latest from the repo, which i cant push to.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

Thanks for this, fixed all my servers like VSH & FF2. Appreciate it.

For the time being in core.cfg I've changed this until they get the numbers fixed on their end.

"DisableAutoUpdate" "yes"

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

The TF2Items gamedata has been updated.

For those of you following along at home, this update came out at 2am my time...

Not automatically, the file can just be edited on web01.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

I figured whoever was in charge may be sleeping, no worries! Appreciate everything you do for us asherkin :)

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

You know guys, it would be easier to find which functions' gamedata went stale if the console wasn't spammed up the ass with "Plugin not runnable". You can't even see in the console the SetFailState message due to bad gamedata because the spam of useless not runnable errors kicks it off the top of the srcds console in a matter of seconds (and the error log is full of 5+ MB of this bullshit).

It used to be possible to easily find bad gamedata by updating a sig and reload the plugin to see where it hits SetFailState next , but now this is impossible without removing all the dependent plugins first (which you will have fun figuring out what those are, since sm plugins list also gets kicked off the top by the spam, making it useless as well).

All I can say is, great work guys at making our lives in troubleshooting actual problems absolutely miserable when updates like these come around and break everything. Considering this never was a problem in SM 1.7 and SM 1.8 was moved to stable even with this problem, some high level decision making needs to be re-evaluated before being pushed. Or roll back whatever changes were made that introduced this in the first place.

Before someone gives the smartass answer of "fix your broken plugins" or "remove the troublemaker plugins", neither of these can be easily done or figured out because of this very problem.

Re: TF2 Crashing After Update
 

This was already noted, but I would like to reiterate. Using the 'custom' is the preferred and supported way to override gamedata. In older SM versions (< 1.6?), it was not possible to do for a single gamedata file, only for ones that use folders (ex. sdktools.games, sdkhooks.game), but that has long been fixed.

The updater actually updates for more unofficial extensions than official - just for ones maintained by the SM core team or that the team feels comfortable updating in a pinch.

It would be very convenient, but there are multiple things that preclude it, including work on getting reliable offsets in gdc (such as by importing some of asherkin's vtable.js work), the capability of actually writing to or altering a gamedata file in gdc, hooking it up to actually be able to commit changes back to the repo, and having a way to trigger the updater to update it's gamedata cache automatically after the changes. Even after all of that, there is still some manual action, such as finding new signatures or symbols, find new offsets that aren't just used for virtual functions, handling optional game updates, etc.

A lot of work would be involved in improving it, and while a huge improvement, there would still be flaws and manual action. It's probably worth doing at some point, but time isn't infinite.

I can understand your frustration, and it's a two-way street. It is only triggered by plugins that have issues, but the errors should have been more meaningful at the least. Ideally, they wouldn't show up at all, the old behavior. That's why this was fixed a week or two ago in the stable branch.
