[[Catch-22] Comanche]

Not sure where to post this so trying it here:

Have this problem:

<FAILED> file "sdktools.ext.so": GameData loaded blocked due to detected crash

I can find the temp folder but cant see any .lock file in it to delete.
I've tried deleting the temp folder and after reinstalling the extensions and gamedata folders a few times I just installed the latest sourcemod and i still have the rpoblem.
The temp file has also reappeared but no files in it.
Please help

Try replacing your default gamedata files with new ones.

That was my first go at curing this.
I then repeated it a couple more times.
Then finally reinstalled with a newly downloaded sourcemod version which I assume will do the same?

The log files keep mentioning this 'lock' file which I just cant find; the 'temp' folder exists but its empty.

Are you running multiple servers from the same installation of SM? It's not meant to do that unless you disable the Gamedata updater (look in /addons/sourcemod/configs/core.cfg for something like "DisableAutoUpdate").

Just a single server

/**
* Enables or Disables SourceMod's automatic gamedata updating.
*
* The default value is "no". A value of "yes" will block the Auto Updater.
*/
"DisableAutoUpdate" "no"

So I think autoupdate is on..

My bad folks, youre software is awesome as ever.

For completeness, lest another journey this dark path....

We had a server crash/restart due to using 'drug' in sourcemod (thats another tale..)
This stopped skdtools from working.
I eventually reinstalled sourcemod to try and get nice new files in there.
Except I didnt.
For some reason the main sm file sin the BIN folder were not installed.
Just checked them, swpped them for the correct ones and all is well.

Once again thanks for the help and attention but twas me all along :-/
