Description:

Force retry for all clients on server restart, useful to not lose all players when it restarts.

Originally Posted by ddhoward Tested only on TF2, should work on other mods that support ClientCommand sending "retry". Running the command sm_retryandrestart will force all clients to retry, then after a 0.1 second pause, will run the _restart command. The action will be logged to the standard sourcemod log file with the admin's information. Running the command sm_retryandrestart 0 will cause a restart WITHOUT attempting to auto-reconnect clients. This action will be logged to the standard sourcemod log file with the admin's information. If the cvar sm_retryonrestart_enabled = 1, the plugin will still listen for the commands _restart or quit, and make an attempt to reconnect clients before shutting down. Setting the cvar to 0 will disable this functionality. Please note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to trigger a forced retry on clients upon server CRASH. The plugin only works if a restart was triggered intentionally through the server commands quit, _restart, or sm_retryonrestart.

ok thanks but I just try it but always appear "Disconnect: Server shutting down." and no force to reconnect the client, however with "retry" on client he can reconnect

I tried it on my Test server, and I don't quite get how it works. Does this go and make the clients type retry when the server is down? I'm trying this on CSS, and I don't think it works.

The server must execute first "quit" or "_restart" command for this plugin works, if you restart the server killing the process ("quit" or "_restart" command not used) then the plugin will not work.


The plugin is tested and works.

This probably wont work if you have any timers open, or anything that will delay the _restart command from shutting down.

Be useful if something like this could be implemented for crashes too.
