Beta 4-5 Broke My Amx

Navck · September 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">Ever since beta 4 my amx has not worked</div> Without crashing the game on load. If I disable it, its all fine. I tried disabling all plugins in AMX. Again it does not work. This has been a problem since beta 4 and to now. AMX 0.9.9. also crashes on startup or does not load. Does anyone know what the problem is.

Start from scratch and use Metamod p10

Navck · September 2004

It worked without new meta, and I read that topic, tried new meta. Again it doesn't work. Even with AMX with NO plugins running. It crashes on load. Only if AMX is enabled

Seraph1 · September 2004

what modules are you using ?

devicenull · September 2004

Um, you could always try amxx, which I know works with ns, as thats the enviroment I test any plugins under <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /> Link's in my sig if you want to try it (There are beta releases of it in the news forum, of amxx's forums)

kabo0m · September 2004

ya that is why a few servers have not gone to beta 5 yet. Some of the plugins / amx don't like beta 5 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' />

for some reason on our server as soon as we install amx mod the server crashes as soon as a shotgun in dropped in ns mode.

Update your metamod.

Hi I run a game server company (Urbangamer), and I can say that updating you meta mod does not fix this problem, all my NS servers have the latest version of meta mod, amx just will not run along side beta 5, one such example being that of dropping a shot gun as a com with amx and new meta mod installed, causes a segmentation fault within hlds.

my e-mail is sion@urbangamer.co.uk if any of the staff want me to send them logs ..... also Don't let my 1 post count fool you i've been here a while, I just coulnd't remember my login details, and my username appears to be free again :/ musta got cleared out

Are you using AMX or AMXX?

Sion · September 2004

I have tried both, amxx seeming to be the least stable of the 2,

one of my admins has also tried the ns2AMX plugin to try to resolve the issue will little success

I can provide a test server with -debug & ftp access on request, I am eager to resolve this issue

CheesyPeteza · September 2004

Make sure that the counter-strike module isn't loaded.

Sion · September 2004

Of course the CS module isn't enabled <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

the line is commented out <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

and even if it were not that in it self would not cause the severity of a segmentaion fault within HLDS

HOWEVER

several commands still crash a b5 server ... slay for instance

That's the server startup if it helps ... Im taking AMX off again untill this problem can be resolved....

the updated admincmd.amx released on the modns forums for amx produces the following error

If the slay works by issuing the TakeDamage function there could be some problems with the plugin itself. (easy way to fix it from my experience is to simply get the stock cbase.h and compile the plugin again with that).

Sion · September 2004

okie I swapped to AMX X v0.16 .. notta problem

I did crash the server once after which is now running fine ...

Apart from IT just hates one person in particular, no one else .... this one person joins a team and wham server reboots

as it affects no one else Im beinging to think it's his problem .....

Netchan_Clear() : reliable length not 0, reliable_sequence: 12, incoming_reliable_acknowledged:</td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>

The above apperas every time this person joins the server.....
as soon as they join a team .... crash & reboot :/

any ideas?

kabo0m · September 2004

heh .. well if u can't find the problem and it is just with that one guy you may be forced to have to perma ban him ::Shrugs::

Sion · September 2004

LOL ... well the new AMX X is out so lets hop all is forgiven / fixed <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

Superfly · September 2004

Has anyone fixed the dropped shotgun issue? I am having the same exact issue. Someone drops a shotgun and either it crashes the server immediately or it crashes when someone tries to pick it up.

I need a fix if anyone has it

Thanks,
Josh

Not to troll, but I use AdminMod and have no issues as of yet...
