I run 2 warcraft 3 frozen throne server 's with amxx mod installed and they run great. The map changes are quick and i dont run Mysql , I use the vault ini. Hell if ur havin such a problem and ur vault is so big, delete it and start over. Tell every 1 the server crashed, give urself tons of Xp and rule the server for awhile... Amxx runs fine so dont blame it, and change to the best war 3 frozen throne...
Thx

Ya i also have this problem .. ripped from my steampowered.com thread
Running vanilla CS 1.6 and vanilla AMXX/metamod newest versions.

"I'm running a server on a p2 600, not sure of the ram, running 8 players max, its mostly a server for friends but random people do join it sometimes which i like, but..

My problem is that the map changes take a very long time, and people dont have the patience to wait for it so they quit or actually time out.
It will sit on the scoreboard for a very long time with 'connection problem' in the top right, but if you let it sit, it will load after about 30-45 seconds

Any suggestions on how to fix this? or is it the computers fault

Thanks"

Dunno if this works but try delete custom.hpq, someone told me to try that and maploads are way faster on my server now.

its custom.hpk

and yeah he is right if it is very large it can delay map changes.

my custom.hpk is only 200k.. what exactly is inside this file that its ok to delete?
it improved alittle, like 5 seconds less, still slow as balls though
Any other suggestions? I really dont think its the speed of the computer holding it back even though its slow (server isnt local to me so i cant listen to harddrive access)

[jtp10181]

that file saves all the uploaded custom spray logos. deleting it does not harm they will just bve uploaded again when clients connect. 200k is not very large.... some servers it can get up to like 5mb and then it starts the cause problems.
