All that was left was forced holidays, I turned it on again and once more the server continued to crash, turned it off and the crashing went away. So I fiddled with the cvars and left only full moon on, so far I have yet to get a crash. Just thought I would throw that out there, sadly the crashes were so harsh that SM couldn't log any errors.

You can use this extension to block that taunt if you don't mind it gone.

If you're just dealing with one holiday, I recommend just using tf_forced_holiday instead... tf_forced_holiday 2 for Halloween or tf_forced_holiday 6 for Full Moon.

"tf_forced_holiday" = "0"
          game replicated
          - Forced holiday, 
            Birthday = 1
            Halloween = 2

I did not know there was 6
Could you please add a small documentation about this in the first post ? That would be very helpfull in future.

This is a function built into TF2, not this plugin. Having said that, the allowed values are:

1. Birthday
2. Halloween
3. Christmas
4. Valentines Day (seems to be unused)
5. Meet the Pyro (seems to be unused)
6. Full Moon

7 and 8 also exist, but likely do extremely weird things as they're meant for callbacks like the one this plugin is built around.

No. Those items have nothing to do with holidays.

This other plugin may interest you.

Once I get my desktop up and running again, I really need to go back and seeing if I can safely remove the boss precaching code without causing server crashes when a Halloween map loads.

That and to add the code to force tf_forced_holiday when Halloween and Full Moon are used to force the appropriate costume effects.

Do you think with those two combined will make wave 666 work?

I just noticed that this bug is marked with a future milestone.

With any luck, Valve will fix the tf_forced_holiday cvar (or split it into several cvars) sometime later this year.
