Hi.

I have a CSDM/Sentry guns server. I am looking for a person to help me analyze all the information and find out what causes crashes. I have cores/logs/everything. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the reason itself and fix it since I can't understand what is wrong. Not so many plugins are used in the server and some of them are completely fine since I have 24/7 uptime on another server which is a close copy of the server that crashes. Of course, I will donate some funds for your time ;)

1st get when the crashes happens

If I realized what that is - I could fix them on my own. More like I need the help in analyzing and determining the crash reasons.

I could not launch https://forums.alliedmods.net/archiv.../t-149804.html but I believe this might help. I have in mind one plugin that could cause crashes, otherwise my list has 10 potential crash plugins. Although some of them are ridiculous to think about so that list could go down to 3-4 plugins.

So it happening at server start or mid-game


You can try for a start ==

take down the name of all the additional plugins your first server has that your second one doesn't , and disable every single additional plugin that the first has that the second doesn't.

Then re enable them all one by one restarting your server every time you re-enable one, then watch read the console after every restart to see if you get any errors or crashes as you re-enable them one by one.



Additionally : Are you using any plugins that modify the models of players or weapons, or any plugins that utilize server frames, or any additional metamod modules amx modules other then the stocks ??

Finding out what plugin is crashing is simple, no need to waste money for it.

1.Disable every plugin and restart.
2.Confirm that no crash occurs with all plugins disabled.
3.Enable half of the plugins restart.
4.If it crashes you know that the responsible plugin is in this half. If it doesn't crash then the plugin is in the other half.
5.After you identified in which half the plugin is, divide it again in half and redo step 4 and 5.

With some luck you will quickly find the cause, especially if you don't run many plugins. Alternatively you can go with disabling all plugins and enabling one by one until you get a crash.

Alright!

This is what I have been doing. Did not mention that.

So, I do not use any plugins that modify models of players/weapons. I do use however plugins that utilize server frames, i.e. sentry guns plugin (in the approved section here)

Two main plugins that are the reasons for my crashes are Sentry guns and War3FT (have already found out that they crash for sure). The thing is that there is no errors, error logs are empty. I have already debugged whole plugin, every single function, yet no correlation has been found...

Next step find out when they crash.

Got the plugin that is crashing and freezing the server. No errors in console, i debuhhed it fully. Anyone can help in fixing the reason?

PHP Code:

Hummmmm Hummmmmm ... Now reading Kowalskys mind.

'Error: Could not compile enough information. No input , No Input. ' 


Which plugin was the source of the crash ? what other plugins are you running with it ?
Have you tried disabling all other plugins except that plugin alone by itself without any other plugins running to see if it crashes by itself.

I am running this on a CSDM+War3FT server.

The list of plugins includes mainly:
BuildDispenser (the healing dispenser)
Sentry Guns custom (completely remade by me and they are the actual reason for crashes) - confirmed;
War3ft mode - also causes some crashes, but not yet figured out what kind of.

If someone is interested into taking on the request and helping me out to find the crash (maybe looking through the code). I could post the code here or share it privately if you want some donation.. Anything. I have also debugged the whole plugin (every single function) which allowed me to find one piece of a "bad code". Yet still cannot find any other correlation. So if you are willing to help please...

P.S> Have tried to disable sentry guns for a day, no crashes. So they are the real problem
