there were no reports that the respawn bug in TF2 would cause the server to crash. that is something you just made up and now can't proof.
I've been running rcon_locker since 2009 and it hasn't been crashing my server, so I take such claims very seriosly.
First, SMAC is using 2 big extensions, sdkhooks and the connect extension, these two seems to be instable with SMAC in general and when used, consumes a lot of CPU. there has been claims that running SMAC together with the wallhack module is very instable - causing crashes, people dissapering behind corners in game, even kicking people off the server. if you don't belive me here, I suggest you go on the SMAC forum and read through a couple of pages.
there has been reports of the connect spam preventer in SMAC crashing the server on client connection, proof's have been provided but I don't think a soultion has. if you don't believe me agian, go to the forum and check if people have had crashes with the client spam connect preventer.
third, SMAC is using a lot of repeating timers, always checking on the client. if they are console spamming, cvar hacking etc... in the long run that will take up some memory. rcon_locker is using less timers, but then again, SMAC covers a lot more exploits in a way that is more demanding for the server.
you have the right to choose whatever plugin you like, but I'll say it again, SMAC isn't excatly bug free itself and a crash is more highly when using all the features in SMAC (even the ones that are turned off by defualt) than with rcon_locker being fully loaded. that comes from someone who runs rcon_locker. I'm not saying that SMAC is bad or anything, I'm just saying that it might not be more stable than rcon_locker.

It did not remove the plugin because the respawn timer issue, as you saw in the link that I had it fixed. It is ur choice to believe it or not I did not asking anyone to believe what I said. There is pointless for me to tell something it is not true, nothing good for me, nothing good for anybody, why would I say it if it never happened to me? So it is your choice to believe or not, I am not begging you to believe.
The related fix is not by the author, other people can help it fix once but not forever. At least no new feature to be added to this plugin, it will not prevent new exploit unless someone is charged to update this plugin.
Also how much do you know about rcon_locker then?? You are just a user who uses it, you spoke as you can guarantee that rcon_locker never and will not crash any server.
How much do you know about SMAC? U spoke like SMAC is taking too much resource that is causing probelm. You have proof for that huh? Also for light memory and CPU, how much do you know about my server? Did I said anything like I want light memory and CPU plugin for my server? I don't run my server on a 10 years old machine like some people.
