[ANY] Restart Empty Server (or Map) - Page 6

Use the method suitable for your game.

1 - crash (looks like doesn't exist in your game)
2 - _restart
3 - only map change (without server restart).

It makes no sense. player_disconnect should be always triggered whenever the player leaves the game.

now both values (1(restart),3(map change)) are working now
it is normal that when I start the server it changes the map immediately?

Hey, been using this for a while and noticed something odd - on some custom L4D2 maps the server wouldn't restart to the default set of maps listed in the .txt file in /data/. It would continue being on the custom map still.

Mr. Man, your convar configs would be helpful.

Also, see the log: addons/sourcemod/logs/restart.log - whenever you receive an odd behaviour whether it contains info about restart map action. If yes, it is a problem of your server not to obey the change map command.

Mr. Man · 07-20-2021 , 22:56 Re: [ANY] Restart Empty Server (or Map)

I don't see anything unusual. Here's both:

restart.log

Code:

and the .cfg file:

Code:

// This file was auto-generated by SourceMod (v1.10.0.6503)
// ConVars for plugin "L4D2_restartempty.smx"


// Grace period (in sec.) waiting for new player to join until actually decide to restart the server

// When server is empty, what to do? 1 - _restart, 2 - crash (use if method # 1 is not work), 3 - just change map

sm_restart_empty_server_start_changemap "1"

// If you have Accelerator extension, you need specify here order number of this extension in the list: sm exts list
// -

sm_restart_empty_unload_ext_num "0"

// If your server has incorrect time, you can set UTC correction hours here (they will be appended to a server time)
// -
// Default: "0.0"
sm_restart_empty_utc_delta "0.0"

I did notice that in the restart log that the crashes sometimes doesn't switch maps.

Well, I have no idea.
If that thing can be definitely reproduced on the same custom map, let me know, and I'll take a look.

For now, you can try set ConVar "sv_hibernate_when_empty" to 0 in your server.cfg and try luck with it.

Hello Drakogas, I would like to report, and ask if this behavior is correct.

After the last valve update, it doesn't seem to be working correctly:
(I don't know this may be to blame),

The map is not changed when the server is empty :

sm_restart_empty_delay "60.0"
sm_restart_empty_enable "1"
sm_restart_empty_method "3"
sm_restart_empty_server_start_changemap "0"

- Before, when the server was empty, the map changed to another random campaign automatically after 60 seconds.

If I leave this config:
(sm_restart_empty_server_start_changemap "1")
the map changes only when a player connects..

Dragokas · 07-29-2021 , 15:44 Re: [ANY] Restart Empty Server (or Map)

Well, I can't reproduce your problem.

I used L4D2 Linux, sm v.1.11.0.6731
I set:

sm_restart_empty_delay "10.0"
sm_restart_empty_enable "1"
sm_restart_empty_method "3"
sm_restart_empty_server_start_changemap "0"

Also, I removed all maps in restart_empty_maps.txt, excepting one: c14m1_junkyard to be sure.
Also, I have in server.cfg:

sm_cvar sv_hibernate_when_empty "1"

I leave the server, and this is my console.log after 10 seconds:

Hello Drakogas,

Thanks for helping me, trying to replicate the error.
I will check here again, maybe another plugin may be causing this.

Note: I have normal messages in the LOG, but the map doesn't really change. If the server is in a custom campaign, it stays in the custom campaign, it doesn't change.

Server: (Windows, Dedicated) v2.2.1.3
MetaMod:Source v1.10.7
SourceMod v1.10.0.6503
