crash issue

(NovaPrime) #1

Server: Linux, hosted
Mod: etpub 0.9.1, with LUA
Engine: et300 0.7

My server is crashing 2-3 times a day. I don’t really know when it started because I just recently started playing more, and noticed it.

I thought maybe it was the etpub nightly, so I switched to 0.9.1 stable release, and still the same thing. I removed all of my lua scripts except the auto promote script, also tried various engines (eteng, et300, etded…etc) and still crashes once in a while. I was using latest omnibot 0.82 and tried reverting back to 0.81…still crashes randomly according to the server !uptime command.

The error in log kind of looks like it might be a hardware issue?

Have u tried without omnibots at all?

(Micha) #3

Which mapscripts do you use? Any customs?
Try to find out if it always crashs on the same map (could be a mapscript error).

I would try to make a fresh installation with newest etpub files.

@ Domagoj
I will remove the omnibots over night and see what happens

@ Micha
There are no custom scripts.
The only etpub map scripts I see are in the etpub client under “maps” folder. Question, should I put these on server also? In the MapScriptDirectory?

Thanks!

I think the omnibots are somehow crashing it, i remember back few years ago, that whenever my server was crasing it was cuz of omnibots…

If the crashes are gone after uninstalling OB please contact crapshoot through PM here, he’s in charge of it :slight_smile:

(NovaPrime) #7

well, I turned off OB and it still crashes randomly. So I am nuking the server and starting over.

Where can I find updated lua binaries? I downloaded latest etpub and also 9.1 but do not see any binaries. I think the original 8.1 had them, but it’s been a long time.

oops found the lua binaries so nvm. Ok, I reinstalled server clean, etpub 1.0, no omnibots. I will know tomorrow morning if that did the trick.

(NovaPrime) #9

logged in this morning and !uptime reported server has only been up for 43 minutes. So looks like my server is crashing and restarting still.

So I have a couple questions:

  1. is there anything that impacts the !uptime duration, like map changes? Shouldn’t this be how long the entire server has been online?

  2. I am only running classic 6 maps. Should I put the map scripts located in etpub client, into the “MapScriptsDirectory” located on the server, or just leave that server-side folder empty? I have always had them in there, but I am not sure if I need them. When installing etpub, it does not add any map scripts to that directory. So is this a client-only thing?

(NovaPrime) #10

not sure why, but the problem for me turned out to be the lua qagame binary. I swapped it for the non-lua binary and the server is stable. I will probably report to etpub team.
