Recently I have noticed that my server memory has gone up quite a bit, and handles has not found any plug-ins that are out of memory. So I tested it individually. Clean platform test with 1.11_6906. It is found that each time the left4dhooks changes chapters and graphs, the memory size increases by 0.1-0.3M. If more plug-ins rely on the left4dhooks, the memory size increases by 1-3M each time the Left4dhooks changes graphs. After my server has been played and runs stably for 10 hours, 800M memory can be added from the original 400M memory. What's going on here?

Hi @Silvers! I noticed a lot of errors like the following (running L4D2 on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.3 LTS):

I was going to also provide the output from "meta list" and noticed I still had L4DToolz loaded (recently loaded on test system), version 1.1.0.2 from Accelerator74. Since I decided not to use it, I removed it and re-tested. The errors, and there were a lot of them, all went away. I am not sure what caused the issue, but it was definitely some kind of conflict/problem between left4dhooks and l4dtoolz. I did not test with the original 1.0.0.9h version from ivailosp. I hope that helps determine whether there is an issue with your plugin.

I would have suspected by now others to also report this. I suspect it's something caused by other plugins, possibly certain game functions that themselves have memory leaks.

That's strange removing L4DToolz would fix the error. I don't see how either would effect. The error being handle 0 suggests to me you're using SM 1.12 something. I recall seeing a change pushed forward to make INVALID_FUNCTION etc 0 instead of -1 which I assume would cause these errors unless you recompiled Left4DHooks with your current version of SM. I suggest either using the latest 1.11 stable or the newest 1.12 which I think reverted those changes, but I haven't had time to look through logs to confirm any of that, and possibly recompiling this plugin with the version of SM you're using and then testing with L4DToolz again.

[Mystik Spiral]

I agree it is very strange. I am using SourceMod 1.11.0.6952 which I believe is the most current stable version. I did not recompile left4dhooks. I decided I do not need L4DToolz so for now I am not going to use it, but if I decide to try it again later, I will test with the version from ivailosp...unless you know of a better version.

Any ideas on how to prevent the bot-controlled Tank from attacking incapacitated survivors when non-incapacitated survivor is standing nearby? I've attempted to modify the attacks in L4D2_OnSelectTankAttackPre/L4D2_OnSelectTankAttack, but the damage still affects the incapacitated survivors in priority. Additionally, I tried using an attack priority plugin to exclude incapacitated survivors as targets, but nothing seems to work. It seems like this behavior is hardcoded in the AI logic, I don't know.. Or, is there a proper way to simulate a punch? If so, I could try to use it on survivors that the tank is looking at and then block the damage on incapacitated survivors

This plugin works for me on my server to prevent the bot tank from attacking incapped survivors most of the time: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2688165

I use the following setting for tank in the l4d_target_override.cfg file:

PHP Code:

    "tank"
    {
        "order"        "8,2,7,1,9" // Preference: lowest health survivor, vomited survivor, last attacker, normal survivor, highest health survivor.
        "pinned"    "15"
        "incap"        "3"
        "voms"        "0"
        "voms2"        "0"
        "range"        "0.0"
        "wait"        "2.0"
        "last"        "1"
        "safe"        "0"
    } 


It works most of the time, but there are some cases where the above conditions still result in the tank attacking incapped survivors.
