RCBot with Whichbot 1.04, ...what can I do? :( Options

[IHQ-Reima[DWMH]]

Hi all!

I tested and tested and rip almost every hair from my head..no it hasnt anything to do with amxx plugins or the configs...

What I mean eh? WB + RCBot = crash every 30min-4h, rcbot alone = crash every 4h-32h, Whicbot alone = crashes occur VERY seldom.

Venom compiled me the latest rcbot_mm.dll with debug(?) and the size is 1.2MB. So I have the very latest RCBot running but I am 90% sure that the RCBot crashes my server. Yes...it is still beta but I would really hope that it could crash only twice a day

I have seen an RCBot error message that says something what I can't remember now and it isn't in the hlds log. But it said Fatal error and I assume it had something to do with whicbots...rcbot somehow doesn't understand other bots?

Is this a common problem?

I can reproduce the error message if needed.

EDIT: I deleted the bots megahal files and waypoint visibility files and I got 6,5h uptime without crash (until one map crashed the server...I had accidentaly an old file ). Before I wait another 6h could the problem be with the _hal files?...

EDIT2: No...that didn't help...

Linux uptime with both RCbot and Whichbot is up to 48+hours.

So tbh, i think its the operating system rather than the bots as it seems to be crashing alot.

Memory might be the issue as well, if you got cheap memory, programs can corrupt over time.

Its not your plugins, its not Whichbot, it cannot be RCbot as i am running the Linux version of the same code, so its got to be down to the Operating system or the Hardware

I could be completly wrong, but we have tested almost everything without much luck of 100% stable.

it's actually caused freakin everything. every single plugin can conflict with another plugin, or NS itself. and NS alone isnt very stable. sometimes with the exact same files, it'll stay up on my server for like 72 hours straight. then itll crash 6 times inside of 2 hours.

i wrote my own server restarting plugin because serverdoc was pissing me off, and it SHOULD give me access to debugging (under certain conditions at least) so hopefully i can start finding bugs in the rcbot code again... if they're the reason the server crashed at that point in time.

often times the crashes are traced back to ns.dll and not rcbot_mm.dll, and without the code for the game (hah!) i'll never be able to debug that. even less often it's traced back to hlds.exe and for some reason i don't think they'll ever make that code open source.
