Debugging the bots, How too ? Options

[My Time]

Ok I am having somewhat of a puzzling Problem with my Dedi DOD:S server. I have been having a crashing problem for a while now. I am sure it is something between the bots and a sourcemod plugin but sourcemod does not have a error log of the crashes. I tried to use the rcbot .076 build but it will crash about every hour so again with no log to see why. Sometimes it will freeze up and my server software( seDirector ) will not restart the server. Sometimes it will out right crash and the software will restart but with out bots until I see it and add the bots to the server. Sourcemod never has a error log so I do not know why it crashed. So I switched to rcbot .075r2 build. It still crashes but not near as much(about 1 or 2 times a day). My question is how can I add a command that will make the bot program leave a error log of sorts ? I seen the post about the vision ticks http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....amp;#entry11636 and that is not the problem. All my bots have it at 60 or under (again using .075r2). Anything to help me get the server a whole bunch more stable. As a test I removed the bots and the server will not crash so I am sure its something with them and maybe sourcemod. Also on one of my servers I have just sniper maps so I made all the bots use just sniper guns and now they will not get a flag. Something in profiles I can change to help that ? And just one more thing (lol) it there a way to get the server to add bots automatically when the server restarts with out me having to type in "rcbot config max_bots 19 " everytime ? Tried to put it in the autoexe.cfg but that don't work. Again as always "Thanks !"

Hello Madmax ! Well your request is my command !

Heh Heh, well in that case, I'll take about a million dollars and a new car...

It doe's seem there is some new instability that was introduced as far back as .75, that causes failure over time. Hopefully cheeseh can find something, perhaps a memory leak? I'm curious, did you try stock maps only on .76/.79? Do they crash just as fast? I'm not sure what it would mean if they didn't crash as fast, maybe nothing?

Yeah, the speedup plugin makes game play much more challenging. I haven't tried it with .79 yet, but did use it with .76 for a short while, it worked great. No crashes, in perhaps 1 hour of playing per session.

btw, I haven't been on steam since December, I still intend to check out your servers next time i get some broadband internet...

Anyways, thanks for all the testing...
