Something strange with the server

dL-Templisk · Post by **dL-Templisk** » Sun Jul 27, 2003 7:50 pm

I started renting the server a couple days ago with the following options:
Adminmod, HLGuard, Psychostats updated once a day, WWCL.
This is a 16 player max private server at Verio, LA without ping accelerator and without cpu priority.

I've noticed a couple strange things, one of which being when I first join the server and open the console I happen to see this:

The other is a friend of mine is crashing an awful lot and it seems to be only on this server. Here are his system specs:
-System specs via DirectX Diag
Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor, MMX, 3DNow, ~1302MHZ
RAM: 256 MB RAM
Windows version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1, build 2600)

-Video specs via DirectX Diag
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600
128.0 MB
Desktop resolution: 1152x864 (32bit) (60 Hz)
Counter-Strike resolution: 1152x864 Mode: Direct3d

-Audio specs via DirectX Diag
SoundMAX Digital Audio

In his own words:
"while playing cs.....outta nowhere the entire game freezes to the point i can't downsize or move and i have to shut my power off to reboot my entire comp"

its wwcl crashing it

try to comment out wwcl in the metamods plugin, restart server and see if it crashes the client still. If that fixes it, then wwcl needs to be fixed, I had it happen on another server.

Alright, and what's with the console flooding xxxasdfg kinda thing? WWCL as well?

Where else might it be at?. Also, how do you make it so the server makes users download the custom statsme sounds if they don't have them?

Yep, that's WWCL in action.

It's not really a very well-written anticheat, more of a quick hack. HLGuard can do the same things better than it can, also.

blah where is it executing at so I can just disable it? I couldn't find any lines in the plugin.ini file..

To disable WWCL, comment out its line in addons/metamod/plugins.ini.

win32 addons/adminmod/dlls/admin_MM.dll
win32 addons/hlguard/dlls/hlguard_mm.dll
win32 addons/statsme/dlls/sm_cstrike_mm.dll
# win32 addons/wwcl/dlls/wwclconfig_mm.dll

Is how my metamod plugins looks, and my friend got crashed again with the same problem, he says it only happens on this server. Is there anything else that could be doing it or could it be just wwcl being installed even if it's not enabled?

replace the # with // and dont forget to restart the server.

Alright, I restarted hopefully my friend will be on soon again to test it and see if it works.

I got a couple of questions while I'm sitting here waiting for valtino to reply about the site I made him =\
-How can I make the server make clients download the statsme sounds when they join? Or is that already done with the install?

-On my psychostats page it says I have 3 crashes is that because of server restarts or is that something with the server that I was asleep and didn't know about?

those crashes are most likely with the wwcl, it crashes the server when this occurred.

Hmm, no one else crashed, and the server itself stayed up but he crashed...

I have no problems whatsoever with the server I'd just like to make it public but can't afford it unless another member or two pitches in =\ it's just that Dave(my friend) keeps crashing entirely til the point he has to restart and no one else seems to have problems
