Re: CSS server crashing with same error

Are any of you using bots on your servers? I only ask because bots are annoying when it comes to radio commands (which can be turned off, but some don't realize this) and if radio commands are triggering server crashes, they can be the cause of the recent probs. I have not noticed any issues on my s...

MANI vs SM & ES vs no ES

For those that use these two versions of admin tools, I would like to hear what you have to say about each. My personal thoughts: Mani- I have used Mani since the very first server I created went live. I have found that it is easy to use, to setup and to maintain. I did not use Mani because of the m...

Re: Fast map download server recommendations

That is awesome!


I saw the site offerings, but I have gotten used to "unlimited bandwidth" equaling "barely adequate" :lol:

I will certainly host it here then, especially at that low price!

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't seem to work either. I entered: sv_visiblemaxplayers 40 into my server.cfg file, and it still came up as having 10 less slots. I am going to email a couple people tomorrow to see if they know what is causing this, and if I hear anything, I will post back he...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Gotta love those odd moments of confusion! :lol:

I know my workaround isn't the most practical of solutions, especially for those that don't have the freedom (or money) to just up the slots on their server, so if I do find a real fix for it, I will post back here.

Fast map download server recommendations

Alright, I want to enable fast map downloading for my servers, but considering the bandwidth required of something like this, my webhost would not allow it for very long. So, any suggestions on a good redirect server? **I am looking for something affordable too, so please keep that in mind when maki...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Yeah, its not a huge deal, I found a quick workaround for it! I increased my servers slot size to 40 :lol: As for the virgin server, the only commands I ran for it were rcon_password ***** rcon bot_quota 10 and then changed the bot_join_after_player option (both on and off) in the server.cfg file. C...

Re: Questions for NFO community (pre sales)

I am having a great time with this actually, relearning everything (in addition to dealing with the new issues brought on by OB) has been a wonderful experience thus far. Yes, there have been issues, but I have found workarounds for them! The servers here are by far the best I have used, I cannot sa...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

To test this out, I created a brand new server, unmodified...a complete virgin. I went in and added 10 bots. Server slot count showed 1/10 from counterstrike server listing. This happens with and without the bot_join_after_player 0 setting as well. Here are some screenshots for you to see what I am ...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Alright... I messed around with any and all bot commands I could and it did not change anything, the server slot count still remained 10 although it is 20 (without bots) I take bots out, it goes right back to 20. Interesting note, the 10slot count only shows up in the valve server list. If you go to...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Yeah, I was in the game itself when adding them through rcon. I think I tried that bot command already, but I will do it again just in case, but I am pretty sure it stayed at 1/10 when I was in game and then 0/10 when I stepped out. I will do some troubleshooting and option testing to see if I can l...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

I disabled zblock through the zblock config file and when I then attempted to add bots to test, the server froze and restarted. I will do some troubleshooting on this in the morning, but have you heard of issues of this happening before?

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

I just tried it again through the console. I added 10 bots and it showed my server as being 1/10. I am currently running: Metamod:source Sourcemod Zblock I haven't set any bot specific configurations up and as far as I can recall, I didn't see anything that would have changed slot size to correspond...

Re: Bot question (counterstrike source)

Alright, a new bot question!


Adding bots to the server, is there a way to keep them from taking up the player slot count?

Example, my 20 slot server, I added bots to it, and now it shows up as only being a 10 slot server. How do I add the bots without making the server count appear lower?

Re: Questions for NFO community (pre sales)

At the moment I am running the 2 core VPS setup, and will be upgrading to the 4 once the need arises. The OS is windows (for now) but might change that if the need arises, as this is the first time I have run a gameserver using the Windows OS. My servers will be running the max windows option for FP...
