Sorry, I forgot about this thread...

screen only runs one command, so when you add grep to it, it's grepping the screen session, and not the srcds_run command. To do this you have to pass it as one command using "sh -c"

example:

#!/bin/sh
screen -A -m -d -S tf-server-4 sh -c "./srcds_run -game tf +map mvm_bigrock +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27016 +maxplayers 32 +threadpool_affinity 0 +host_thread_mode 2 +mat_queue_mode 2 | grep -v Setting\ sv_visiblemaxplayers\ to\ [0-9]\ for\ MvM"

I don't know what you mean....sorry.

hadn't happened to me in ages, and then just the other day I saw it happen. I use 8 slots which is stable. 10 was way too crashy.

8/8
7/7
6/6
5/5

Kept dropping, took about 5 minutes to decline 5 slots. I was unable to set the player count manually, or by changing maps. Might be some weird engine bug or something. Had to restart the server.

Not a clue, I've run this with 20 people in the server and... nothing bad happened... if anything I'd think 20 would break, over 8.

have to say i don't get that,
but i do get this buffer overflow in net message from time to time though im sure its something to do with valve playing about with this so called steampipe sh**

Dunno, not really using anything super out of the ordinary. Have connect for reserved slots, perhaps that is interfering with it.

I also had this issue but its not the plugin, I have two wave 666 servers, one with and one with out this plugin, they both do that.

I however did notice that with the plugin running on a map/difficulty with a massive amount of robots being spawned that they stop spawning, like in wave 666 when the rapid fire demospam is supposed to spawn, the wave bots stop spawning however the support bots (snipers/spys) still spawn.

This probably happens if you have replay or someone connecting by reserve slot and it fails to spawn a needed bot, because there are not enough player slots. Usually with 8 the server is about full, 28- 30/32' though i have seen it higher i think, not sure dont always pay attention. Also, spectators can probably mess with it too.

I don't have replay enabled on my servers, but I think it may be a problem that valve derped on something. I have mp_allowspectators 0.

I'd try leaving that cvar at 1, since the plugin depends on the player joining spec to fix their money amount properly.

I have not seen any problems with the money. I was talking about the weird error of visible players dropping when a player disconnects.

^ Weirdness ^ Removed bit not pertaining to visible players

Mine got down to 0/0.
