I need personal help with my server please

Post by fissureleet »

There is something wrong with my server but its not specific. I have had problems with my server before and one admin put AMX X on my server and that resolved some problems.

Other problems however are as follows:
I can not add plugins to the server
Statsme ranks reset automaticaly with me doing nothing
Server crashes some times on custom maps

I am willing to get a new server ip if needed.
Otherwise please help me nuclear fallout people
(some of my friends are suggesting using clanservers servers! [but i love u guys :D 8O ])

you add plugins to the server by using FTP, must use IE or some other 3rd party FTP client to upload.

you add to their respective folder for plugins, scripts for adminmod and plugins for amxmodx.

then you add a line for them in their respective plugins.ini like the other plugins.

statsme is set by default to reset every 144 hours, you can change this in addons/statsme/statsme.cfg at the sm_resetrank line.

if server is crashing on custom maps, its most likely due to that you didn't upload all the files needed for the map, all sounds, wads, sprites, and full bsp files must be on the server. If you crash on a custom map, you can check your latest logs in the logs folder and it will say fatal error on such such file. upload that file and you are fixed, unless theres more than one file missing.

First I should point out that your problems are server-specific, and should consider visiting us in IRC or emailing instead. We can't do much for you here in the forums.
I can not add plugins to the server
Can you be more specific? What are you trying to do exactly, and what is happening when you try to do it?
Statsme ranks reset automaticaly with me doing nothing
Keep in mind that statsme does reset them according to how often you tell it to (through the easy setup page or statsme.cfg). If it is doing it more often than that, someone is manually causing it to reset.
Server crashes some times on custom maps
If the server crashes when you load a custom map, that likely means that you forgot to upload resources that the map requires. This isn't true crashing behavior, because HLDS is actually stopping itself as a result and writing the error to its log. The next time your server crashes, I'd recommend checking the recent log files to look for these messages.
I am willing to get a new server ip if needed.
Since these are configuration problems due to changes you've made to the server, a new IP would not help. Resetting the server to its default configuration would stop them, but that is a drastic measure that can be avoided.
(some of my friends are suggesting using clanservers servers!
That would be a mistake. You would have these problems everywhere, since they are configuration issues that are not on our side. One important difference between us and most other companies is that we will work with you to quickly resolve them.

I hate when that happens. See a fresh thread, spend forever writing a reply, and someone else got in first.

Ok I fixed the rank reset thing. Now the server crashes-It does not happen when i try to change it to that map it just happens randomly like we are playing a surf map and all of a suddon it would just say connection problem and restart to de_dust. As far as the plugins go:
this is what happens
1. I put plugin in the amx/plugins folder
2. I add a line containing the plugin name
3. Try to load plugin in game and it says it does not exist.

(its not something I am doing because I have added plugins before on preveous servers-might think about switching to admin mod)

P.S. What is your mIRC channel name?

its probably crashing on the surf maps due to the FATAL ERROR (No Free Edicts).
Edicts, in short, are map entities. These surf_maps (no offense intended to their creators) are really badly made. You'll find the server will have no problems if you play on normal maps.
For the plugins, lots of them require that you change maps or restart the server before they begin to work.
our mIRC channel is #NFo-Support on irc.gamesurge.net.
in the event of a netsplit you'll usually beable to reach us on our GameSurge linked server: NuclearFallout.WA.US.GameSurge.net or simply irc.nuclearfallout.net
[url=irc://irc.nuclearfallout.net/nfo-support]click here for a direct link[/url]
edit: you should beable to view the FATAL ERROR in the logs; it would be the last line directly before the crash.
