I just had my server crash on an arena map

Is anyone else having problems with admin's not having access even though they are in the config?

But it's clearly showing one more time that valve doesn't care about the server admin, we can't even make a mixte server. That's just ridiculous.

My 2 servers have been crash free on every arena map and all the new maps with SM 2440 1.1 and no error logs except for a strange mapchooser error. All good here, I dont even see an arena cfg in my folder at all.

That's me I was just going to post that here
The issue isnt running the "normal" game modes OR "arena"
It was running a mix of both

Smm 1.6.2/SM 1.0.4-r2379
Windows 2003
No problems
Finally I get to return the favour of some useful information

You can mix all styles of maps and use [SM]
Include all maps in the mapcycle or maplist or adminmenu_maplist.ini, whatever your usual

config_arena.cfg
maxplayers # // Can make it any number. Team sizes are derived from maxplayers. Each arena match has 3 teams, two playing and one waiting in the queue. So maxplayers 18 will give you a max team size of 6 (18/3).
hostname "Your Server Name"
mp_timelimit # // time in minutes
mapcyclefile "mapcycle.txt" // include all types of maps, arena, ctf, pl , cp
mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg" // your usual cfg file

\tf\addons\sourcemod\configs\maplist\cfg

"MapLists"
{
    /**
     * Default requests go right to the mapcyclefile.
     */
    "default"
    {
        "target"        "mapcyclefile"
    }
    
    /* Admin menu, map menu */
    "sm_map menu"
    {
        "file"            "addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini"
    }
    
    /* Admin menu, map voting menu */
    "sm_votemap menu"
    {
        "file"            "addons/sourcemod/configs/adminmenu_maplist.ini"
    }
    
    /* For the "randomcycle" plugin */
    "randomcycle"
    {
        "target"        "default"
    }
    
    /* For the "mapchooser" plugin */
    "mapchooser"
    {
        "target"        "mapcyclefile"
    }
    
    /* For the "rockthevote" plugin */
    "rockthevote"
    {
        "target"        "mapcyclefile"
    }
}

Sure...that works...it's also a ridiculous fix. If we're supposed to be configuring a server differently, why the hell isn't there some documentation?

I have the same problem.....with the server.cfg file where it's SUPPOSED to be, all players are stuck in spectator mode. Delete server.cfg, and it works....but then the server has to be a dedicated arena server.

Wow...good going valve.

Also, forcing melee upon clients crashes, so be carefull.

Same problem here, crashes after about 2 rounds.

As i posted in steam forums, you need to put some cvar @ zero if they are set in your arena_cfg. my both cfg and it's working fine in both mode :

Config_arena.cfg :

Edit: Of course some plugin are useless or not working with arena map those can be unload in the specific map .cfg file.

Still there is a big problem for people like me having multiple server on one install, since mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg" must be define by server, i need to launch a specific arena cfg and a specific server.cfg for each server, and that cant be done for the moment.
