Server is downloading creppy files

grs4 · **Author**

Hi, from some time, after map change (changelevel cmd) sometimes player who is connecting is downloading files with names which are generated randomly.
For example: "♀♂, @!#%"
This is problem like here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=262791

So shortly. I had a server on first hosting, there were no problems.
~5 days after hosting change i'm getting this error.

I'm developing a mod. It means i'm adding new features/fixing every day.
I have many cvars (more than 120)
My mod is precaching many things (75 and more) and i'm using 1.8.3 newest builds.
I can't downgrade to 1.8.2.

Below are: 'version' 'meta version' 'amxx version' 'amxx plugins' 'status'

not sure but could be problem with your fastdl.

Try it with a up to date your server.

New binaries did not fix this. Fastdl doesn't affect

Depresie · 02-23-2017 , 16:41 Re: Server is downloading creppy files

Probably you are using dynamic arrays / tries on your plugins, which are a little buggy

If you are using mercylez API to save/load from .ini files i recommend you to get rid of it ( it was causing me the same problem on both 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 )

Else, there was a bug with dynamic arrays / tries on the 1.8.3 dev build which got fixed a week ago, try to update your amxmodx installation to the latest build..

If the problem still occurs, get rid of dynamic arrays / tries and .ini files

yep, i am using dynamic arrays, I have own save/loading from .ini api. Do .ini files are affecting on it?

I will upgrade amxx, wait for result

same problem, sometimes after changemap cs client is stopping at "veryfying resources"

new log:

PHP Code:

Depresie · 02-24-2017 , 14:08 Re: Server is downloading creppy files

Well, try using the dynamic arrays without using .ini files... to see if the problems is caused by the dynamic arrays or from reading the .ini file

I'll PM Arks and Hamlet to check on this topic

Don't think it's related to dynamic arrays. The recent bug fixed was related to a missing backward compatibility check if you were using 1.8.2 compiled plugins.

Maybe you are in this case. To make sure, you can try to recompile all the plugins with dev compiler.

Could try to no use Cvar Utils module (disabling the related plugin, infinite round?) to see if it will help?

Okay, I Will check it. I also removed cvars and added all to .cfg file.

Depresie · 02-25-2017 , 04:53 Re: Server is downloading creppy files

I had the same problem Arkshine on the 1.8.2 version hosted on linux..
There is sure something wrong related either to reading from the .ini file or to the dynamic arrays

I was running the same, an API to handle loading/saving to .ini files and dynamic arrays
