Hey Server Owners out there

Alright, here is my problem. I have an NFO server(but this same sorta stuff happened with my old ISP as well) and what I want to be able to do is exec cal.cfg and the server will shut down all the necessary plugins. Right now the only way I can shut down statsme fully is if I do a meta force_unload statsme. Now thats pretty harsh, but it works. The problem is, after i turn the server back to normal, the only way I can get statsme to work is if I try change the map and let the server basically reload, but everytime I try do this it crashes and reboots. Even if I exec the server.cfg first before doing the map change. Any ideas anyone?

Which version of statsme are you running? You may have fewer problems with 2.8.2b1, if you're not running it already (we don't use it for our default install). You can get it here:

hmm, well I just ordered the server 3 days ago. So its probably 2.8.2b1. I've heard thats its pretty buggy still.

We still use 2.7.1 by default, if you checked the box for statsme when you ordered.

who knows.. lol maybe you shouldn't use statsme and use amx for stats.. you can just pause those. thats what I do, but if you have psycostats keep statsme and use it to log only so you get the damage and junk

hmm. I heard also something about using csstats. Almost the same deal?

Yep, I think that's what supernuker means -- using csstats. We have it disabled in AMX installs by default but you should be able to enable it.

It would be best to eliminate StatsMe and go to AMX based stats. OLO was part of the StatsMe team at one time, and CSStats for AMX works a lot like it. There is a plugin for AMX called StatsX which extends what CSStats can do, and you just load that on the server, and config it to run in the plugins list instead of stats.amx for it to work.

It will also be easier to shutdown mods for a league match since all you would need to unload from MetaMod would be AMX and nothing else.

ok look..... your server will not crash but appear to because it has to reload the statsme and whatever mods u take off.... but do not try to unload adminmod it WILL CRASH YOUR SERVER
