NS2 server console error,

the_tick

Hi guys, this error I pasted below came with the introduction of 264, the error is persistant, recurring and causes a lot of lag on my server. When the error starts it won't stop, and can go on til the end of the round.

The server console spams this error, and would like to know what the cause could be.

Check your mod ....

Don't blame UWE for not updating your mod

the_tick

This error happened again, it happens when hallucinations are used in the game, and caused a server choke that completely depopulated my server.

I would like to increase the severity of this issue, and needs to be fixed.

Add

kHallucinationLifeTime = 30
// only allow x% of affected players to create a hallucination
kPlayerHallucinationNumFraction = 0.34

to line 650 of Balance.lua in your mod ...

Please make sure your modded files are up to date

BTW i would also suggest to remove all not needed files in the mod ( all those default stuff )

Also instead of overwriting all those files you could just adjust them via the entry system ....

I have added the line, sorry I am just not much of a programmer, the only thing I see is a reference to the ns2_utility.lua, excluding the possiblity it would have to do something with one of the mods I am running
