Ive got a tonne of these in some of my logs. Anybody know what thier caused by or what they are?

Also getting a crash per day on either ns_siege005 with this error:

<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->SZ_GetSpace: overflow on Client Datagram
WARNING: msg overflowed for Player<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

Is there a way to get around this without removing ns_siege005 from the cycle?
Crashes on other maps too, but not as much.

Any serious help appreciated.

I probably shouldn't reply for the first one because I'm not 100% sure, but it sounds like the max webbing limit was reached and the gorge kept trying to web...

As for the crashing, that's a LOT of plugins I'd expect moderate to frequent crashes on a moderate spec system, though others here have had many hundreds of map changes with similar numbers of plugins. What are your system specs?

Asylum-Skitzo

Dual Athlon MP 2200, 1024M of DDR-RAM
Runs 2 other CS servers aswell which have similar setting but dont crash.
Debian Linux 3.0, Kernel 2.4.20
-pingboost 1, no heap or zone settings.

About the web seems plausible, infact alot of these crashes have happened when alot of mines were put down and alot of alien structures built. Is there a way to limit thier total?

Caucasian

Max webs is built into NS, as far as mines/turrets there is really no limit to how many turrets you can lay down. Yes, tons of mines/turrets will crash a server. It just depends on the map that is being played.

I've heard the motion tracking circles and even the alien sight circles reffered to as "blips" before. Could this map be so small that there is not enough space to spread these out?

Roobubba

it's possible to build huge numbers of structures witin range of the observatory, that way you'd see the "blips". Mines are notorious for overloading servers when comms hand out loads of packs of them, though the server specs are clearly very impressive. Bear in mind that currently NS may be considered as 2x CS servers (this is a massive simplification, but a fairly safe one).
Try killing one of the cs servers or both of an evening, and see if you still have problems.

Maybe before that try stripping down the plugins so you only have one or two, then build up gradually.

Hope this helps,

Roo

Nah the maps it usually crashes on are huge maps, with huge open rooms, which HL naturally hates.

I believe that NS should limit the number of mines and turrets per area, same as it does OCs.

Yeah I know that NS is a CPU hungry beast, and two full 18 player CS servers seem equivolent to one 18 player NS server.
Infact one 2200 barely handles an 18 player NS server, which as we know hlds is single threaded is the case of my server.

Ill try removing some plugins Roo, see if that helps.

i have those errors too, i saw it when i ran psychostats, it fill up some logs over 7mb. it mostly occurs in ns_missilecommand_final3.
