I've been looking through some of my server logs lately because of an issue we are having (i'll get into that later in the post) and i was looking at the logs in the gamedata folder.

IE:

orangebox\dod\addons\sourcemod\logs\gamedata\ L0713.log


1. What are these logging?
2. Is it bad if all it says is

L 07/13/2008 - 02:09:45: Couldn't connect
L 07/13/2008 - 09:26:26: Couldn't connect
L 07/13/2008 - 11:01:27: Couldn't connect
L 07/13/2008 - 11:26:03: Couldn't connect

L 07/13/2008 - 16:43:20: Couldn't connect
L 07/13/2008 - 19:070: Couldn't connect


Some of the older logs show the auto-updater that was introduced in the 1.1 branch checking for updates and it says

SVN version is 1.1.0.2417






The problem I was talking about is that sometimes the stock DOD maps that involving planting (ie, Jagd and Colmar) are causing crashes when planting the bombs but i can't find anything about it in my logs. Is it a SM or an engine issue, do you think?


Any help is appreciated.

[DontWannaName]

I know that the couldnt connect errors are not the problem, perhaps a plugin. I would blame older plugins before newer, probably DOD specific. Make sure SM is up to date too.

[Lebson506th]

I updated SM after i started noticing these problems (it was a 1.1.0.23XX version) and that didn't change it.


The weird thing is there's nothing showing up in the error logs about it...

[DontWannaName]

Start taking off plugins 1 by 1 and seeing which plugin it is.

[pRED*]

Could not connect means the other end wasn't running. I keep crashing it when I run srcds on the same machine. Need to fix that.

Theres on open bug report for Dod:S crashes but I haven't been able to reproduce it, and all minidumps point to the engine.

Alright, thanks pRED*
