Plugin crashes my server on map change and I don't know how to troubleshoot

Obyboby · **Author**

Like the title says, I have a plugin that makes my server crash upon map change, but there are no error logs generated once it's back up.
How can I resolve this issue? The plugin is the custom MVP sounds from the plugins section, I'm sure it works with CS:GO but somehow I can't keep it on my server

Any help is appreciated.

I ran this on my server and it worked no problem, so before I get started on debugging some code I want to rule out certain things. Could you post your Server OS, Metamod version, Sourcemod Version and your plugin list? That's just the start of it...
More requests from me will come if I need to keepo.

Okay, when exactly does it crash? When someone enters the server or when it loads?
Edit: Read the OP again...

Okay so it will load up normally and it will work on a map but when the map changes it crashes the server?

Yes.

What is confusing tho, is that if the server crashes upon map change, the first map change after that works, but the second one fails.

PHP Code:


			
Server crash -> restart -> map: dust2 -> map change (eg cache) -> de_cache works -> map change -> CRASH -> rinse, repeat (d2 works, then next map, then crash....)

It's kinda confusing because if the plugin had some flaws it would crash at any map change, not like, work once, then crash

Do you think you could get a server with an identical setup running and try reproducing that crash?
If it still crashes you could try running the plugin on it's own and seeing if it crashes still. If it doesn't then can definitely say it doesn't agree with another plugin. I'll look through the code itself though and see if it has anything that could cause a crash out of the blue. I'd say a memory leak would cause this unexpected crash but if it's not in this plugin, it's in another plugin and that is where you will have a real problem since you would probably need to pay someone to look through the code of your private plugins to see if they were written poorly.

Alright, I was hoping for an easier fix, but I guess I'll just have to enable the plugins one by one starting with the MVP one and see if it crashes my server :p
I can do that early in the morning when there are no players around ^_^
Hopefully changing maps quickly will still reproduce the scenario and save me plenty of time xD
