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... |

Hmmm... The metamod debug version works best. That package you sent link here had only the latest files from the rcbot webpage and it gave crashes every 10min
And nothing in the rcbot crashlog... I think I just have to live with it. I have only 10 amxx plugins running + rcbot, whichbot, steambans, don't stand on hive -metamod plugins and have a 2.8Ghz P4HT + 1GB RAM to run them so I have enough power on my computer. I even run the hlds as a service via FireDaemon and fps_max and sys_ticrate are 250. Do people run the latest 1.04 whichbot with rcbot then? The whichbot got an big update about 3 weeks ago. |

if i could get my gameserver to be able to debug the crashes as well as continue a new game, id be debugging them more, but i can either debug it, or run a server, so i have to bypass the debugging and just run the server. every now and then cheeseh will send me a new dll and we'll test and debug it, but aside from that RCBot doesn't get much debugging done.

So I should only stick with the latest source code build without debug.
At the moment I have wb:s only in combat and classic maps have rc marines and aliens. Classic maps run fine and no crashes occur...until next map is combat and it crashes most probably after 10 minutes |

Windows and I'm REALLY in the mood to change to linux...if someone could compile the latest source for me...
Here is the error message I get: [RCBOT>] warning: GetClientRep<>: Bad pClient received <NULL> (returning default) |

Second: Thanks Skitch! I will test it And Third: Thanks you all for your patience! EDIT1: With your build I also get this error message to the console (not into the rcbot log): CODE [RCBOT>] warning: GetClientRep<>: Bad pClient received <NULL> (returning default) What does it mean? |

its not an error its a warning, it happens because the bot does not pick up some clients (or whichbots) entering the game. Thats why I assumed putting rcbot at the top of the plugins.ini list would help as it should have more priority in receiving function calls from engine

Strange truely
Now I did these four things and ran combat only for 6 hours without crash 1) Added Lord Skitch rcbot_mm.dll 2) Installed Whichbot 1.05 (released yesterday) 3) Shut down the HLSW 4) I had in rcbot combat mapconfigs this code: CODE config max_bots 4 config min_bots 4 wb add wb add wb add wb add rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 now it is: CODE config max_bots 4 config min_bots 4 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 1 and in classic maps: CODE config max_bots 8 config min_bots 8 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 2 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 2 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 2 rcbot addbot 1 rcbot addbot 2 I put the wb add lines now to the end of the server.cfg and deleted all the whichbot waypoints of maps where I don't want to use whichbot (classic maps). Cheeseh: The warning comes when the game is on. It doesnt occur when the bots are joining the game.. --- At the moment it looks much better. I did what shouldn't be done while finding the error...I did too many alterations. But I only made those four so it could be one of them or the combination. But I will report did it help. I had co_combatforts_b2 with 4 wb:s, 4rc:s and 18 human players and no crash during the 44min session. That is a pretty good stability test...MAYBE |

Yay!
The server runs much much better now. The uptime between crashes is now 5-11h so it is much better than in the worst days....crashes every 10-30mins :/ There is still one problem... now that I have wb add -lines in the server.cfg the aliens join correctly before any other. But now that I have rcot addbot 1 -lines in the mapconfig file, there comes a problem. When some human player joins marines before rcbot is in the readyroom, the rcbot joins the aliens because it can't join the marines (less players on the alien team). How do I disable the rcbot to join aliens and REALLY force it to join the marines = make it wait in the readyroom to get to the team it was told to join? In bot profile the 'favourite team 1' does not 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. |
