Problems with mapchanging time (database errors?)

Post by WildSoft » Sat Nov 21, 2009 4:46 pm

Hello there =)

I would really appreciate some help with this, thou I'm not sure it's caused by WC3FT or it contributes to the problem (read the whole problem). I've searched high and low all over the Internet and tried to solve this myself, for a long time now. Frankly I don't know what to do any more.

My problem is extremely long mapchaning times. So long that all clients get dropped out and the server not responding for some time. After that you can connect to the server without any problems and everything works as it should. I'm running a dedicated Counter-Strike 1.6 Linux server.

I reinstalled the whole server and started over from scratch. Downloading directly from the web all that was needed, mods, plugins and such. The database is located elsewhere from where the server is. We have other servers running with this Database with a shared Banlist and different databases for WC3FT. I use the newest version and the other servers still use WC3FT v2.3.2 (they use different DB structure). No other servers have this problem. And since I made a complete reinstall and the problems seems to have to do with having Amxbans and the newest version of WC3FT activated at the same time, I don't know which one the problem is lying with or what to do next. I have had other mods running with similar setup. Still long maploading times, but not as long as this so it dropped all the clients. The new UWC3NG mod which is built from the code of the new WC3FT mod was running fine. But then I was using SQLite to save and store the XP. As you can see from the timed loading times at the bottom, I only have this problem with both Amxbans and WC3FT active and connected to the DB. If I set the WC3FT mod not to save XP, it is the same as if I would have completely disabled the mod.
I get no error logs and everything runs fine (except for the damn mapchange problem). mp_chattime 0 makes no difference at all.


I've gathered all the information that could be needed.

mp_chattime 0 makes no difference at all on the test results. Also these test were done with me alone on the server. You don't get kicked out from the server if you're on it alone. You do get a red connection error message in the upper right corner, but never get kicked out.

I would really, really appreciate all the help I can get.
