Crashed Map Recovery v1.5

Description:
This plugin will save the map your server is on to a data file, and reload that map when the server restarts for any reason (for example, after a crash).

Installation:
1) Upload crashmap.smx to addons/sourcemod/plugins/
2) Restart your server (Important!)
3) Edit cfg/sourcemod/plugin.crashmap.cfg to your needs

Cvars:
sm_crashmap_enabled - Enables (1-Default) or Disables (0) the plugin. Note that if disabled, map names will not be stored
sm_crashmap_recovertime - Enables (1) or Disables (0-Default) the ability to recover the timelimit of the server.
sm_crashmap_interval - Time interval (in seconds) between updates of timeleft. (Default 20, min 1)
sm_crashmap_maxrestarts - Number of restarts that can happen before the default map is loaded. (Default 5, min 3)
sm_crashmap_version - Shows the version

Notes:
A little about how sm_crashmap_maxrestarts works:
Every time the map is recovered after a crash, the # of restarts goes up. Once it's higher than sm_crashmap_maxrestarts, the server will stay on the default map (set in the command line). If your default map crashes, that's something YOU should fix.

There are 2 ways for the # of restarts to be reset:
1) A player successfully connects to the server after a recovery
2) The max restarts limit is reached, and the default map is loaded

You can also save timelimit.

That's also a good idea. :P

After writing this plugin I'm surprised it hasn't already been written.

Edit:
Do you mean timeleft? or mp_timelimit?

I can't save the timeleft since the server would have crashed.
I don't think I need to save mp_timelimit, since I'd have to assume most people have mp_timelimit set in some config.

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

oh wow amazing idea crazydog. will install immediately.

I see the way how do it. You can save timeleft with GetMapTimeLeft each 20 seconds than after crash and server restart just set convar mp_timeleft to the latest saved time.

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

I really don't like timers, as things happening repeatedly always makes me worry about performance, but I guess I'll put it in.

v. 1.2 up. Includes support for saving timelimit.

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

I'm surprised no one has made this till now : o

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

How ever server doc has an option when server crashes to go back the map it was on right or does it go back just to a certain map?

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

Yeah id have to agree. Amazing this hasnt been created yet. Definitely useful. Good work.

Re: Crashed Map Recovery

Great idea. However...
What if the server crashed *because* of a certain map? Then it would repeatedly crash over and over. Any way to detect that?

Maybe you could count if the server has crashed for more than X times in a preset amount of time and if yes, do not change to the last map but to a random one. (This should be logged also)
