esf Mod for HL

[SickPuppy]

I am trying to run a HL mod called esf.

 

It installs and will run but it keeps crashing. I have tried several different servers and downloaded the files from different locations but still no luck.

 

The server will run fine for about 10 to 15 minutes then it will crash.

 

Anyone run accross this problem. We run several other HL Mods without any problems.

This has to be a HL issue, after updating all of our CS servers are now crashing

[SickPuppy]

This is a TCAdmin issue. I started three CS servers using RDP and they run without issue. As soon as I start them using TCAdmin they start crashing. I know this was an issue before but I thought it was fixed in one of the updates.

You need to start it with interact with desktop enabled and log into the server in /console or /admin mode to check for errors.

Did that, there are no errors they just keep rebooting every 10 min.

Starting the server through RDP I can't query the game server using Qtracker

 

I have replaced the CS config in TCAdmin and used the default command line still crashes.

Is it crashing or being restarted

I can't query the game server using Qtracker

if it can't be queried then tcadmin will restart it every 10 mins. Perhaps you are troubleshooting the wrong thing.

[SickPuppy]

They are being restarted, not crashing.

 

I have over 50 CSS and HL2 based games running on these servers this is only an issue with CS 1.6

 

I have set up four different test CS 1.6 servers on four different boxes in four different data centers using two different operating systems. I have downloaded and new CS 1.6 server files from steam. The only thing the four servers have in common is TCAdmin, the default command line, and the default server config.

 

I have even disabled the firewall and turned off the antivirus software

I understand that TCAdmin will restart the server if it can't be queried, what I can't figure out is why TCAdmin is failing to query just the CS 1.6 servers.

 

I have treid various ports with no luck.

[studeggle]

Try the halflife query it works fine. If you already have it set to that then you have another problem, either something blocking the query or the server is not running where you think it is running. HL will jump ports if it believes the port is in use, whether the port really is in use or not.

[SickPuppy]

What do you mean the Halflife query is that a line in the server config I need to add

[studeggle]

That is the tcadmin query method that is compatible with CS1.6 found in your supported games config for counterstrike.

[SickPuppy]

I tried that and TCAdmin still it will not query the server.

[studeggle]

Then as I said before something is interfering with the query firewall, other program, CS1.6 setting/addon... Or the server is not running on the port you think it is running on. If you want to try and catch me on IM (studeggle at hatmail dot com) we could try and work on it I have a lot of practice with CS1. 6

Problem solved, thanks for all the help guys.
