Alright, before I start, note that I have used crashdetect and the logs gave me nothing.

Recently my gamemode's experiencing something weird. Every time I used /rcon gmx to restart the server, it will restart but unable to start the gamemode back, crashes, and I have to start it manually.

Is there any parts of my gamemode's script that has to be checked prior to this problem?

And also, I've been noticing some servers able to restart their servers without "kicking" the players. The players will be able to move around and then will be asked to authenticate the ID. Can somebody explain how is the method of scripting a feature like this?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem before, then i started using /rcon exit, and Restart it Manually

For the first question, I can't say much. It might be a corrupted plugin or something like that.

For the second: I think they don't use gmx, so OnGameModeExit won't get called, they just clear everything (player variables, etc) and don't process any data while "restart" is being done. After that, they might call OnPlayerConnect for all connected players, or just show the "authentication" dialog, then the script continues running normal.

That's what I'm doing right now actually, but this really sucks.

Perhaps so, I'll try to reupload the plugins.
Second, might be like that, or there's any other way of emulating a server restart that really "restarts".

Thanks for both of you.

This is achieved by crashing the server.

And how, may I ask?

I think one way is to open a file that doesn't exist. Could be read/write also though.

GOD DAMN POST LIMIT IS SO ANNOYING

Which means that you need to have a server configuration (either a .bat file or something) to auto-restart the server when it's down, right?

[MP2]

Well I had an in-game command, but I'm not sure how you'd do it remotely. I think they just end the process.

Actually I do need an in-game command. Mind sharing the code?

[MP2]

I no longer have it, but this may work:

fopen("", io_read);

Will try that. Thanks!
Now we're back with the first question.

Can you post your server.cfg gamemode line(s)?

Why is the filterscripts line empty? Try removing that. Also please post (PASTEBIN if it's too big.) your gamemode init/exit callbacks.

Here. Valid only for 10 minutes anyway.

Could you re-post it? I had to go do something.
