Hi I'm running a zombie master dedicated windows server, and it is crashing a lot. I don't close a handle in my plug in when the plug in stops. I was wondering if SourceMod will reload my plug-in when the map changes.

If it does, this is why my server is crashing (memory leaks).

Thanks,

g0ldz

Yes, all plugins are reloaded upon map change, and all open handles are closed.

No.

Plugins are only reloaded if they have been changed. Open handles are only closed when the plugin unloads/reloads. This does NOT occur on map change automatically.

Well then why do my timers and such stop when the map changes?

If they're TIMER_REPEAT, they shouldn't.

(And make sure you aren't using TIMER_NO_MAPCHANGE.)

Those are two very different things...

So, if this is called every OnMapStart:

CreateTimer(0.2, Timer_CheckMenu, _, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE|TIMER_REPEAT);

It will create a new timer thread each time OR will it notice the timer's handle is already used and ignore it?
