Nope it isn't just you, I getting problems with sdkhooks too. but the routine is:

1. it crashes?
2. delete gamedata files and use an old backup.
3. autoupdater notices the old files and updates them.
4. server should be running again.
5. if it isn't repeat at step 2.

As the update message says, you need to restart the server after it auto-updates the gamedata.
That's probably all your problem is.

The autoupdater just hash checks the files, if they don't match what's on the AM server they get replaced.

Yeah but my servers are all restarting at 5 am (gmt+1), still once a month a server just crashes upon start. Most times I need to replace sdkhooks gamedata files with an old copy so the server can start up and get the new files from the AM server.

I came up with the idea to run a cronjob 5 minutes sooner to check for new gamedata files, download them if needed and copy it over to each server. Benefits from that would be that I could disable the autoupdater for gamedata files and the files are always up to date, even when the server crashed when starting.

But if you got a better solution or how I/we can resolve this issue, I'd rather try that.

Ok, I did test on Linux. Removing sdkhooks total, reboot server.
Install sdkhooks linux files from first post, move all SM plugins in disabled folder, reboot.
Now it updated normally without problem.
Don't know what was problem in first time, gone now.

Any chances this hook can be put into SDKHooks?

TF2 has been lacking a proper "OnFire" event since release, this would be just perfect. The few of us trying to create an Accuracy stat are forced to use hacky-solutions to determine how many bullets a person fires.

Probably not gonna bother.

It's not if you read the whole thread. That function and many other similar ones that would catch shots have various drawbacks to them that make them no better overall than what's already available.

I'm getting crashes when I try to block the dropping (SDKHook_WeaponDrop) of a L4D2 gnome/gascan/oxygentank/propanetank/fireworkscrate. I seem to be able to prevent the dropping of normal weapons, so I'm wondering if this is a problem hardcoded into the game or if there is a way to get around it.

Sorry if this has already been asked before (searched the thread, found nothing) but when is OnStartTouch exactly fired? Upon contact with a model's bounding box or with its collision mesh(hitbox)?

hi guys ok i run a multi mod server and one of the things on there is tf2ware now after one of the last updates the snipertarget don't work any more what do i need to change to make it work again here is file.
