oh but you need to use the dev versions.

It's a bit tricky that I will have to upgrade all of this manually on my servers and then go back when they put this in official releases.

or can you make the updater go on the dev branch and update sm like that ?

[IainMustardGas]

I just tried the latest "stable" snapshot of Sourcemod (1.5.4 build 4056) but it crashes my L4D1 servers. There doesn't appear to be an option to switch the updater between stable and dev builds.

I tend to just use the dev builds nowadays tbh

[CosmicD]

I've fiddled with this for 2 hours and I also got it running when using the latest snapshots from 1.10/1.4, but there's a whole bunch of plugins which crash the server now,

It's so hard to keep this server from throwing segmentation fault after another. For example when I forgot to add the sourcebans database to database.cfg I constantly would get this GetBaseuserDir segmentation fault, once I solved this, it's all good.

I'm going to test further to see what plugins will cause the server to crash.

EDIT: So the plugins that crash my server are:

Basecomm (latest snapshot hq4056)
vocalizefatigue (Thread with source)
smac (removed) can't find proper download anymore so I added the one I use to check) It's not allowed to be linked due to copyright issues, but it's 0.8.5.2

These tests happened on:

15:45:26 version (server)
15:45:27 Version 1.0.2.9 (left4dead)

Each faulty plugin version corresponds to the latest version (for left 4 dead) I will include them in an attachment.

So my MO of upgrading the servers without craches i need to:

- Update mm:s and sm to the latest snapshots, (it doesn't matter if it's the 1.5.4 or 1.6 branch or mm 1.10 or 1.11 dev branches).
- avoid the faulty plugins including basecomm.smx, (included in attachment, maybe someone could figure out why the server produces a segmentation fault)
- make sure I retain databases.cfg because sourcebans plugin will otherwise crash the server too (segmentation fault)

Lots of work for a simple l4d update today

EDIT: Updating sourcemod only (no mm:s) to the latest snapshot works too.

So if you update, carefully look for other plugins you might use that might crash the server and cause segmentation faults.

Hey folks,

after my steam-pipin' L4D1 Server is running armed with SourceMod again as well - let's share the joy (and facts of course..):

and deliberately banning basecomm.smx and funcommands.smx into "disabled" folder..

for a good reason (thank you for the handy hint, CosmicD!)

And thanks a bunch for the good work so far, dev team!

Posted it on the official thread but i think you might help me guys...



Despite of the updated sourcemod snapshot 1.6.0-dev+4375. And despite searches and several version of files i found here and there i can't pass through this error :

Am i doing something wrong or the last update killed the linux version ?

L 05/21/2014 - 21:11:10: SourceMod error session started
L 05/21/2014 - 21:11:10: Info (map "l4d_hospital01_apartment") (file "errors_20140521.log")

Thank you in advance.

[CosmicD]

yes everything related to left4downtown is causing segmentation fault, even a request from a plugin that is asking for it. (either if the extension is present or not). So try to remove all plugins that have left4downtown for now if you want your server not to crash

It likely needs to be recompiled against the updated hl2sdk-l4d.

Hi, could anyone help me out here?

Running latest DEV version of metamod source and sourcemod and the server is not recognizing it.. i have installed it correctly as well

[CosmicD]

make sure you don't get "owned" by a overwritten metamod.vdf, does it have the correct "left 4 dead" version?

Also to everyone I really would suggest moving all your "non vanilla plugins" to disabled, (also basecomm) and then gradually restart using one plugin at a time to see which one is going to not cause segmentation faults.

Also, "an official thread?" where is it ?

I dont quite know what you mean by correct L4D version i just deleted both metamod and sourcemod now

What version of Metamod:Source and SourceMod do i need?

thanks
