you might have already wondered what the biggest chain of servers using this plugin is. it looks like currently it's the "EA" servers. there are 33 although game-monitor.com only finds 24 of them (at time of writing). but if you join one of the servers you got all 33 servers in the menu. and redirect_check_method is set to 2, so all the servers are queried and information about them is provided.

unfortunately it uses the stable version, so there is no "Back" button, which would be really helpful for such a high number of menu pages. but of course i understand the decision to use a stable version for such a big network - but we are close to the release of 1.0 - 1.0RC4 is running on more than 20 servers including my own servers and it is doing well until now. also nobody reported problems.

i would be interested to know - if you see a bigger chain please report it here for us

the bad news is, that there is still a bug remaining in 1.0RC4 that will make servers that are down display as (-1/-1) when sub menues are enabled. also some other bugs have been found. the good news is that i already fixed them all

RC5 will not become officially released before some days of testing on my servers though. for those who want a quick fix or are just curious you can already get the current version as 1.0RC5a here. treat it as a "nightly build"

the changelog so far is:

• fixed a bug where the plugin would not automatically redirect to a plugin that has the NOMANUAL flag set
• fixed a bug where a server would be displayed as having (-1/-1) players when the server is down and sub menues are enabled
• fixed a bug where the sub menu would display a servers as "server full" when it is down
• sub menu: admins can now also see the reason why redirecting is not possible to a server for non-admins, but in white instead of red
• the welcome message can no longer state that someone came from the server he currently is connected to
• fixed a bug where completely wrong information is shown in the menu when sub menues are enabled and redirect_check_method is set to 1

Ok, so with RC5a I am getting no output in the menu. I am getting a more option and an exit option but none of my servers are listed. I have confirmed this on 4 of the 8 servers running the plugin.

 
L 01/02/2008 - 16:50:15: [xredirect.amxx] Loaded server Volleyball (75.126.102.240:27015)

L 01/02/2008 - 16:50:15: [xredirect.amxx] Loaded server SK (75.126.102.245:27015)

As you can see the server's are loading correctly. This is repeated on all 8 servers so it's not an individual server issue. There are only 6 servers loaded cause I forgot to change the define but that never caused an issue before.

 
// xRedirect

i'd need to see your serverlist.ini contents, so i can debug it with your settings on a test server (as i myself have RC5a running on currently 5 servers, where it is doing well).
does your last sentence mean the plugin worked with your current settings already, just with another version? if so, which was the last version that ran without problems?

[jsterling]

Edited my previous post to include the serverlist.ini located on all servers.

Yes, the config and serverlist I posted have been running without issue on RC3 and the RC4 release posted before the RC5a release.

So, the RC5a version is the first I have ran into the issue with.

Thanks!

ok, i can reproduce the error on my server. i am working on a fix now.

[xOR]

a change that i made from RC4 to RC5 was not correct. i fixed that now. it only appeared to be a problem on servers with redirect_hidedown > 0 - that's why i didn't see the error on my servers before. unfortunately i don't have the time to test every possible combination of settings before every release - that's why i need the help of users like you. thank you for testing and pointing out the problem jsterling

i also made other changes to RC5 already before, these are included here as well and here is the changelog for these:

• automatic redirection didn't take MIN_ADMIN_LEVEL as admin level but REDIRECT_RESERVATION
• readded the message "Server full, redirecting you to..." in the console of a player that is auto redirected (it got lost over the update from 0.7.5 to 0.8.0)

so the attached file version is 1.0RC5b.

Looks good. The new version solved the problem.

1 more thing I am noticing with the new version and the same configs.

The plugin display's empty server's as -1/16 instead of 0/16. Can this be fixed ot is it a limitation?

Thanks!

good job

no of course it's not supposed to be that way and the error has to be removed. again i don't see that problem on my own servers (otherwise i would obviously have fixed it already), so i will try it with your settings on a test server again and see what i can see. there will be RC5c as soon as i fixed that glitch.
