But they also had names from the fakeclient.cfg file. So it was a bit of a mix. Is this a minor bug of some kind?

FYI :
the unnamed-error never happened again. It was just the one off I suppose. Thought you might want to know.
Keep up the good work!!!

hi

many problems with fakeclients
- running an HL2DM server on debian
- metamod, eventscripts, mani admin plugin and steambans (all up to date)

im loading the plugin manually, metamod says "Plugin "FakeClients" loaded..", then executing fakeclints.cfg

// number of players to simulate
fakeclients_players 2

//delay after map change before bots join (seconds)
fakeclients_delay 20


// start hour and stop hour
// in system time
// use fakeclients_time to check your system time
// fakeclients_starthour 20
// fakeclients_stophour 5  



// add names for fake clients to use
fakeclients_name Test1
fakeclients_name Test2
fakeclients_name Test3

after its delay time fakeclients fills up the hole server (and not only 2 player like in cfg), a few seconds later the server crashs up and restart.

if i deactivate mani admin plugin the server is filled up completely too but its not crashing.

so there are two main probs:
- with mani admin plugin active: all server slots are filled up and server crashes
- with mani admin plugin inactive: all server slots are filled up

sorry 4 my bad english.. school time is long time ago

You need to install Mani Admin Plugin 1.2 beta or greater. Non-beta versions or earlier versions may crash when fake clients have been added.

As for filling up the whole server, I'm not sure why that would happen. Have you tried loading the plugin in metamod.ini? It might be missing some information it needs by not being active when the map is initialized and the server is activated.

hmm.. youre right.. it must start directly with the server to work correctly..


so i had to wait for mani admin plugin 1.2 to run fakeclients..
dont want an beta version

thanks 4 ur help

working great here on Linux FC3, DOD S, 1.12 MM, 1.2 Beta MetaMod Version of Mani, Roger Devils Stats Minimum 1.35b

Cheers Luke, i believe its pretty much responsible for a massive increase in server traffic and keeping it full most of the day, whereas before it was just evenings when admins about.

I installed fakeclients on a windows box with mani 1.2 and it keeps filling ALL the server slots.. am I missing some setting or something?

What game/mod are you using it on?

Are you using the "meta load" command or do you load it in metaplugins.ini?

Using the "meta load" command will often cause that because the plugin does certain initializing tasks when the server starts.

I put it in the metaplugins.ini, but i ran the meta load before letting it exec in the server.cfg. I'll try letting it load through the ini and see if it still does it.

[Edit] That was the problem. Thanks for your help.

Well since the update tonight, ican't get the fakeclients to work for anything.
Any suggestions?
I have already replaced all the files and double checked the manimod.ini
