As you probably know, sockets is making servers crash when using xredirect/aredirect (old verion)
I really want to fix my aredirect, the code is terrible but i was expectating to add this feature of show players online. Without this it is sort of get boring fixing it because there will be nothing new.

From my tests i believe what causes this crash is when 2 servers check each other at the same time.

Lets give an example. I have one server and ac-r has also one server.
I use sockets to check how many players are online at his server, and at the same time, he does the same for check how many players are at my server. With this, both servers crash. If you use sockets to check how many players are connected in your own server, it instantly crash.

If a new version of sockets is gonna be made for fixing this issue, please don't only put it into 1.8.3, also make a version compatible to 1.8.2 so i can provide dl link in the thread for people don't be forced to use a beta version of amxmodx.

Thanks.

How do you know it's not because your code? Meaning you do something wrong.
Did you try to debug? Could you make a simple test plugin reproducing the issue?

I will try to do it if i have time tonight. If not, will do in weekend.
I believe it is not about how i do because it also happens with xredirect code.

Since xredirect is still crashing servers due to the sockets, was a fix ever made?
@Jhob94 - do you have any progress on your issue?

[Jhob94]

Well, i forgot to make proper tests after this. But i still think this happens when sockets are used at same time. The server crashes if you try to get the values of it's server. But crashes too if you try to get info about some else server if that server is also trying to get info about your server at the same time.

XRedirect doesn't work anymore and is no longer supported in this community.

True. However, I'd like for this functionality to work (either on xredirect or other plugin).
There's a workaround for the redirect part (for example, using a message in console and then kicking the player asking him to type connect IP).

I've to say, this issue really sucks. My Alternative Redirect code completly sucks, i was about to make it from 0, but then i lost my motivation because getting some server's information about players connected is something important in my opinion and this took off all my motivation to improve it.

I have a php page that show info from server using source query, you can try in a motd

Oh, and use steam:// protocol (steam://connect/)
