Is anyone else having problems with this plugin's team balance feature?

It seems that in my servers the team balance sometimes just doesn't react in the middle of a game. Teams can go well over the 2 player imbalance limit and the plugin will not notice that the teams are imbalanced. This seems to happen quite often and it usually fixes itself after round changes.

I'm getting the same problem, except that it only fixes itself after I manually reload the plugin.

Gscramble seems to stop working and refuses to autobalance or scramble.

I've tried to reinstall gscramble and tweak the configs, but the autobalance still fails to notice when teams are imbalanced at random times. Scramble on the other hand has been working fine for me, no problems there.

Is it possible that another plugin might somehow interfere with the autobalance?

Edit: I've also checked the error logs and SourceMod logs, but there are no errors with gScramble.

Here's my config by the way:

Code:

I strongly recommend that connect gscramble with TF2 Stats.

TF2 Stats is most best easier plugin than crazly heavy big HLXCE.

i know that native function needs. i'm going to send that to scripter of TF2 Stats.

here's the thread link of the plugin. http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=109006

Out of curiosity, do you have replays enabled on these servers? Just wondering if the replay bot is somehow messing up the autobalance.

I just can't seem to figure out what is causing this. I really don't want to use the default TF2 autobalance since gScramble's autobalance has some nice features when compared to the default one.

Is it possible to merge this together with the Valve Scramble vote thing?

Most people don't 'know' that they have to say "!votescramble", to scramble the teams. But they can all press F1 / F2 when somebody asks for a scramble with the Valve vote.

And as you all know, that Valve scramble sucks.

impossible for the replay bot to be selected
since the replay bot would return TRUE for ISFakeClient function (verified tested yep)
unless if for some reason older builds of SM don't count the replay bot as a bot.

The hlxce-api plugin source is linked right in the post you quoted. you can also download a zipped version here which includes the pre-compiled smx as well as the sp and include files in the attachment.
Code:
13:47:33 L 08/27/2011 - 13:41:34: [SM] Plugin encountered error 25: Call was aborted
13:47:33 L 08/27/2011 - 13:41:34: [SM] Native "SetFailState" reported: Cannot connect to database

Do I need to specify the database in the databases.cfg ?

PS: +1 integration with game builtin stuff such as scramble.
