Author Topic: Dedicated Server crashes  (Read 1729 times)

Normally I have a crash once and a while but lately I've been having server crashes once or twice a day.

A couple things that are odd about these crashes:
* The dedicated server command window becomes sluggish or does not let my type at all into it at all. I can still move the window fully with out any issues and windows says in taskmanager that the program is responding fully.

* While the server has this issue, it does not post on the master server or lan.

* The dedicated server also continues to eat memory usage while in this state as well.


I'm trying to track down this issue and I am almost wondering if this is a problem with my server (though other games that have been hosted have never had an issue), though id like to believe that it is a problem with Blockland itself.

I have posted a console log for further help.

I have also noticed another issue when I encounter this problem.

I am running a duel xeon server and have noticed that when Blockland has this issue that it keeps one of my cores running at 100%.

This is probably an engine issue, but the only thing I can think of that is crashing your game is that you are missing a lot of terrain files.

That couldn't be right because I tested my dedicated server with a fresh install.

1. It can't seem to load any models at all that are not built in:
Code: [Select]
Executing Add-Ons/Weapon_Uzi.cs.
Add-Ons/Weapon_Uzi.cs (0): preload failed for uziItem: ShapeBaseData: Couldn't load shape "Add-Ons/shapes/uzi.dts".
Add-Ons/Weapon_Uzi.cs (0): preload failed for uziImage: Unable to load shape: Add-Ons/shapes/uzi.dts.

Add-Ons/Weapon_Shotgun.cs (0): preload failed for shotgunImage: Unable to load shape: Add-Ons/shapes/shotgun.dts.
2. One of your scripts has an error to do with getSubStr();, which appears to be called every second or so:
Code: [Select]
getSubStr(...): error, starting position and desired length must be >= 0: (-1, 1)
Have you installed add-ons correctly, or just the scripts and not model files?

Yeah I have noticed  getSubStr(...): error, starting position and desired length must be >= 0: (-1, 1) a lot.  All my addons should be placed right. Ill try a fresh install and check again to make sure that it is a add on

Ok on a completely fresh install with no extra addons I still get:

getSubStr(...): error, starting position and desired length must be >= 0: (-1, 1)

Is this normal?
