I run a couple linux servers and recently both servers wont apply the settings set in the lobby and just go with the default map and difficulty. Is anyone else running into this or is there a fix?

here's my server.cfg, loaded plugins, and server version.

well, can rule out mm or sm as disabling both of those did not fix the problem.

solution found

turn off logging

[crazydog]

You're using HLStatsX:CE, I see.

You can leave logging on, but you need to go to the "HLstatsX:CE Settings" in the web interface, and set "Allow HLstatsX to send Rcon commands to the game servers:" to No. That will disable the in-game commands, but you can still log stats.

Make sure you restart the hlstats daemon after changing the setting.

[chikencarnage]

i had heard that, but someone on the linux hlds list was saying turning stats on but setting that to no just caused the server to crash.

i dunno, i'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

[crazydog]

Well I have logging on, and HLStatsX rcon off, and my servers haven't been crashing.

[chikencarnage]

well i turned the rcon commands off and logging back on and right off the i've noticed that the player amounts for vs is set to 4, while when logging off had it set to 8.

i've got my default map set to a vs map and this has allowed the server to play other survival, coop maps just fine but we can't get a full 8 in a vs map. the last 4 to connect get "server is full" error.

[chikencarnage]

setting mp_gamemode to versus fixes this. altough all maps have max players of 8. shit is so gay.

guess i'll have to make map configs to execute this each time a vs map is loaded.
