As it's Christmas I thought it would be good to open-source some ancient (5+ yearold) plugins that have served me well... First off; Cassandra.
What is Cassandra?
This VSP with MM:S and SM components installs a signal handler to catch any crashes your server unfortunately encounters.
Great, doesn't TF do this by default now?
Well... yes; I think it does? With the exception this will automatically reconnect clients before restarting.
But my server keeps hanging; not crashing!
Yes; the infallible hangy/crashy implementation with parallel snapshots and similar are still plaguing every released Valve game with the convar now defaulting to off... This also installs a watchdog and does the aforementioned behaviour when an issue is detected.
What platforms does this work on?
This should work without issue on CS:GO (pre-protobuf) and CS:S Linux (current).
Threaded Mode
