this part creates the race aliases.
Did you add any custom races?
Maybe a racealias is too long or has bad syntax, so this crashes the whole server -.-

Custom races as in races added other than the stock races from a fresh install..
Could you tell me more about this alias thing how can we fix this issue?

And yes its a dedicated server and we have 24 slots lol I pay $2 a slot due to it being a 100 tick. We have had problems with it crashing before we upgraded to a 100 tick so its not that.....

only tickrate 33 is bad for WCS, 66 and 100 is fine.

can you show us the racefile?

Each race can create an alias, which is a shortcut for a list of commands, used for skills.
It could happen that the string is malformed or too long, and so crash the server.

But, segfaults are really evil bugs, because they are very hard to remove. It could also be that a few bytes in the server RAM are corrupted and causes the crash. I restart the whole server if this occurs, but I guess you cannot, because you rented a server...

You can also try to stop your server, delete ES+EST .dll/.so files, upload them again, and restart server.

one alias is created twice...this will not work, it overwrites any alias with the same name. Also, this may cause crash Oo
(race 1 and 5)

"racealias_uds1"    "es es_xsetinfo wcs_dmg event_var(dmg_health);es es_xif (server_var(wcs_game) != server_var(wcs_game_css)) then es_xrand wcs_dmg 1 20;es_xmath wcs_dmg float;es es_xmath wcs_dmg / server_var(wcs_divider);es est_RoundDecimal wcs_dmg server_var(wcs_dmg) 0;es est_Health event_var(attacker) + server_var(wcs_dmg);wcs_getlanguage wcs_lng wcs_lng_r_vampiric1;es es_xformat wcs_lng server_var(wcs_lng) server_var(wcs_dmg);esnq est_csay event_var(attacker) server_var(wcs_lng);wcs_getlanguage wcs_lng wcs_lng_r_vampiric2;es es_xformat wcs_lng server_var(wcs_lng) server_var(wcs_dmg);esnq est_csay event_var(userid) server_var(wcs_lng)"

"racealias_uds1"    "es_set wcs_dmg event_var(dmg_health);if (server_var(wcs_game) != server_var(wcs_game_css)) then es_xrand wcs_dmg 1 20;es_xmath wcs_dmg float;es_math wcs_dmg / server_var(wcs_divider);es est_RoundDecimal wcs_dmg server_var(wcs_dmg) 0;es est_Health event_var(attacker) + server_var(wcs_dmg);wcs_getlanguage wcs_lng wcs_lng_r_vampiric1;es_format wcs_lng server_var(wcs_lng) server_var(wcs_dmg);esnq est_csay event_var(attacker) server_var(wcs_lng);wcs_getlanguage wcs_lng wcs_lng_r_vampiric2;es_format wcs_lng server_var(wcs_lng) server_var(wcs_dmg);esnq est_csay event_var(userid) server_var(wcs_lng)"

also, "grenadier" uses racealias_oh2, this is from orcish horde and will overwrite its alias!!
That leads to bad side-effects

....

you have a huge racefile.
I guess you should go though it and check for double named aliases  :(

if you rename an alias, be sure to rename it also in the skill_ field.

all races can have several racealias_ but they need an unique name!

- you should read through the file (strg+f for find): racealias
- remember the race, search on.
- if a alias is named the same on a different race, change it like this:
this is for the 1st conflict:
change for Undead lord

    "skill1_cmd"        "es es_xif (server_var(wcs_dice) <= 60) then racealias_lord1"

as you see, I renamed racealias_uds1 to racealias_lord1 on (at least) two places. The race 1 and 5 have now unique racealias_ names :)

I know its hard work...
but thats the problem if you pick many custom races, since some copy&paste coders don't think of UNIQUE racealias names, they just copy the one from default/other races :(
