Crashed Server Question

JoeBlowJoeBlow Join Date: 2003-01-28 Member: 12899Members
I have recently set up a new server in a colo facility with a large pipe. One of my clan members and I were on the server checking it out, and building lots of stuff to see if there were any problems, when someone joined. He changed his name to have our clan tag in front of it (I hadnt set up AM name protection) and then the server crashed. I'm not sure if he did it or us, because we had been spamming mines and turrets to see how much it took to crash the server. I just thought it was kinda odd that it crashed right after he joined. Anyway, here are some of the lines from the logs, what do you guys think?

    do a search for client datagram

    the main problems i find will mess it up are

    HUGE motd.txt
    lots of mines/turrets
    LARGE rooms, with massive LOS (think ns_siege005, or ns_misslecommand_final3)

    Yeah, we had lots of turrets, and i wouldnt be surprised at all if that did it. I'm just curious since some guy joined, changed his name to mirror our clan name, and then the server crashed... Just the timing of it made me wonder, so I figured i'd throw up some logs and see if anyone had any thought on it.

    Just a guess, but those log lines might be indicative of the flood attacks that ragers often perform. Anyone with more experience regarding those attacks have a comment?

    Well if he had admin privilages from putting your clan tag on (not sure how this works.. never worked a server) he could have turned SV_cheats 1 on and crashed it.

    He didn't have any admin privleges, I just had not reserved nick names yet
