does this mean we simply search through our sp files and replace any of the OnConfigsExecuted() with OnMapStart() ?? for people who arent coders.. can someone just confirm this is what we need to do, and if not, spell it out very plainly. many thanks

Nope!

This is how todo it:
You search for OnConfigsExecuted() > in the Brackets {} > See if there is AddFileToDownloads Table and any kind of Precaching Stuff like:
PrecacheDecal
PrecacheGeneric
PrecacheModel
PrecacheParticleSystem
PrecacheSound
> Cut out these Lines > Find OnMapStart(), if it dosent exists, create it(Dont forget the brackets {}) > Paste the Stuff you cut out there and your Done

If you do it elseway, you could move other Stuff that belongs to be there

You need to move any of the functions from OnConfigsExecuted to OnMapStart:

PrecacheDecal
PrecacheGeneric
PrecacheModel
PrecacheSentenceFile
PrecacheSound
AddFileToDownloadsTable

Leave any other code that was in OnConfigsExecuted there.

i dont think that the problem is only with precaching stuff on OnConfigsExecuted.

my ws knife plugin and gloves plugin do not have any files to download or precache, but they still crash the server for some of you. creating a timer of 1 seconds to do everything in OnConfigsExecuted and emptying OnConfigsExecuted seems to fix the crash. as i said, this happens WITHOUT any Precache or AddFileToDownloadsTable calls in OnConfigsExecuted

https://github.com/kaganus/gloves/bl...ves.sp#L63-L87

clearly some shit has changed, and no one figured out what yet. so i would just keep using GOTV and forget about this madness until some hero figures it out and shares it with us, if that even happens.

until then, do not try to fix any plugins unless they have idiotic logic like precaching stuff on OnConfigsExecuted. just use GOTV

is there any code that definetly needs to be in OnConfigsExecuted?

Sure, an example is code which needs to override some convar from another plugin. You need it in OnConfigsExecuted, otherwise you'll have race conditions depending on which plugin is loaded first.

Turn off GOTV and fix/update your plugins.
Turning on GOTV just to prevent a crash when you don't use it is stupid.

Thats Valve my Friend, ime writing a GiveMeAll Plugin right now just as Payback for the last Update - Noteable is that this is not forbidden by the Server Guidline
