I've wrote up a quick extension that blocks the precaching of MvM soundfiles. I'm able to get my server to boot up, but I crash later on boss taunt/rage.

I only have windows binaries available, I don't have the ability to compile for *nix.

Extension: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99606/nomvm...nary_win32.rar
Source: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/99606/nomvm/nomvm_source.rar

Hopefully that'll give someone the chance to figure out the rage crash.

Thanks Voided, unfortunately the server does crash when someone rage.

Tried to do this with 1 boss, once he rages = the server crashes.

#include "tier0/memdbgon.h"

Is that needed to compile this extension? I know my own extension doesn't use it.

	if ( V_stristr( pSample, "mvm" ) )

Might want to make that check for the directory specifically. Unfortunately, then you run into portability issues.

just check for vo/mvm/ instead

[VoiDeD]

There are many files which aren't in any mvm directory. For instance: "sound/vo/medic_mvm_bomb_destroyed02.wav"

I went for a quick and dirty way of catching (hopefully) most of the sounds.

Valve released yet another patch, but it did not change anything regarding precaching.

And that is it.

I don't think it has anything to do with how we do pre-caching but rather with the number of sounds we pre-cache.

We could just pre-cache sounds as the bosses load instead of up front, but it's somewhat annoying.

im now having most all my servers crashing randomly.. things were bad enough after the 15th, they are horrible now. Both my trade servers are crashing about once an hour. Valve has totally screwed up this game

But the thing is, my saysounds sounds have 3times the amount of FF2 sounds...
