Hi All,
If you're using SourceMod 1.6 snapshots, I've just added an experimental feature. If a plugin takes too long to execute - for example, it has a bug that causes your server to hang or infinite loop - SourceMod will now try to terminate the plugin. If that happens you'll get an error like this:
Code:
L 08/14/2013 - 23:47:20: [SM] Plugin encountered error 30: Script execution timed out
L 08/14/2013 - 23:47:20: [SM] Displaying call stack trace for plugin "test.smx":
L 08/14/2013 - 23:47:20: [SM] [0] Line 13, test.sp::OnPluginStart()
This feature is zero-cost and should not incur any performance overhead. I've also taken care to make sure it doesn't introduce spurious timeouts where none occurred. However, if you find any bugs, please do let me know.
The timeout can be configured or disabled in core.cfg via the new "SlowScriptTimeout" option. It defaults to 8 seconds.
Thanks!
