I apologize if there is/was another thread related to this issue, however, I was not able to find it.

I am having an issue with one of my servers where something strange happens: the SourceMod admin commands stop working. It takes quite some time for issue to kick in. I usually notice this issue after 8 hours or more server up time (server is usually not that busy player-wise so its around 10 or more map changes). I have no idea why this issue happens but I know its been going on for quite some time.

The server is a TF2 server. I am running SourceMod version 1.5.0-dev build on it with SDKHook and all default extensions.

The sm_who command shows who has admins just fine (using RCON through HLSW). But in-game, the SourceMod commands do not work for the admin in question (console commands return "Unknown command: <command name>").

I tried sm_reloadadmins and sm_rehash (I use SourceBans for admins, see full plugin list below).

Here are plugins that I run:

[SM] Listing 21 plugins:
 01 "Admin File Reader" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 02 "Admin Help" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 03 "Admin Menu" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 04 "Advertisements" (0.5.5) by Tsunami
 05 "Anti-Flood" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 06 "Basic Chat" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 07 "Basic Comm Control" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 08 "Basic Commands" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 09 "Basic Info Triggers" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 10 "Basic Votes" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 11 "Client Preferences" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 12 "Fun Commands" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 13 "Fun Votes" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 14 "MapChooser" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 15 "Nextmap" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 16 "Map Nominations" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 17 "Player Commands" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 18 "Reserved Slots" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 19 "Rock The Vote" (1.4.0-dev) by AlliedModders LLC
 20 "SourceBans" (1.4.9) by SourceBans Development Team
 21 "TeamSwitch" (1.4) by MistaGee (Modify by Snake 60)

I also attached a text file generated by sm_dump_handles but I am not sure if it'll be of any help. I did check SM logs and there's no error log files.

I dumped admin cache using sm_dump_admcache but saw nothing wrong with it (admins seemed to be loaded with proper ids).

I do run a custom extension where I add admin commands manually (I know, its a bad design) and they seem to work just fine (most of them are either 'o', 'p', 'q', or 'r' flag commands). Its just that sm_ commands stop working.

Another issue that I noticed (does not always accompany issue described above) is map keeps looping (so nextmap keeps getting set to current map).

EDIT: Something to note, admin chat (@ in say and @ in team say) worked just fine even though SM admin commands did not work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hooooly balls, your plugins are really outdated. Might wanna grab a new copy of SM and re-install everything from sourcemod/plugins.

Also, what commands aren't working, to be exact?

They shouldn't be outdated. I uploaded those plugin files (from 1.5 branch) on 6/28/2012. Even after uploading from the very latest 1.5 snapshot (hg3585), most still report version as 1.4.0-dev. I noticed no problems with the plugins even from 6/28/2012 upload.

As for which admin commands stop working: all of them. All commands that are provided with SourceMod (and its plugins) just stop working. However, the admin chat (one that's uses @ for say/team_say) works just fine. I think that's the only thing that works though.

Are you sure you did an overwrite of the files when you updated? Because they would report as 1.5 dev if you did update correctly. Type this through console to validate that the server is running on 1.5:

rcon sm version

On another note, you have no error logs in the addons/sourcemod/logs directory?

This was hopefully fixed in the latest 1.5-dev versions. We're up to 3589 for Windows and 3590 for Mac/Linux.
