DODS Server Crashing on changelevel

[komosky]

hey i went to post a new thread regarding my servers issue and spent probably 30 mins typing it out properly and adding as much detail as i can, and aksiment said my thread was spam and never posted it, so here it is:

Server OS: Linux
Processor: 2x Quad Core L5320
Ram: 12GB DDR2-667
Game: HL2 - Day of Defeat: Source
Start Up Command: cd orangebox && ./srcds_run -game dod -ip 204.152.196.29 -port 27015 -maxplayers 32 -tickrate 100 +fps_max 25000 +map dod_donner +servercfgfile server.cfg -autoupdate
Admin Mods: None (Fresh Install)

My server is a dedicated from a game server business, and what happens is i login to my rcon with rcon_password "verysecret", then go to do rcon changelevel "dod_mapname" and the server shuts down and restarts instantly, sometimes i get kicked by console when doing "rcon maps *" to check for the maps on the server.

Now i found a similar thread posted where the server needed to be re-installed, so we did that and re-installed the server and the same issue appeared.

Another person i talked to who attempted to help me noticed that the dods is located within a directory named organgebox and he believed that was interfering with it somehow, the startup script works fine you can go in and play the server you just cant change the level, all other rcon commands work like mp_timelimit blah blah etc, just changelevel crashes server and restarts it.

I attempted to install source mod and try to change the map that way, did the install by the book, however when i went to do sm_admin in console it came back with the error "unknown command sm_admin" as well with the "meta version" command as well.

So besides reinstalling the server i'm stumped on what to do.

FYI - I'll do my best to check this forum as frequently as possible - Thanks and hopefully we can resolve this issue.

Did you manually rename any of your maps?

nope, stock dods maps like dod_jagd, dod_donner, dod_avalanche, dod_anzio, etc. only custom map was our units BCT map and custom donner map, however 2nd fresh install with no custom maps uploaded still produced the same outcome.

Remove
+fps_max 25000
+servercfgfile server.cfg
-autoupdate

Then try it.

[komosky]

still nothing loopyman

[komosky]

Here is exactly what happens in console:

Quote:] rcon_password *******
] rcon changelevel dod_donner
autokick is disabled for Sgt. Komosky [22nd RR]
Disconnect: Server shutting down.
Disconnect: Server shutting down.

First it tries to kick me, then shuts down the server, the server then immediately starts back up.

[loopyman]

What is your server.cfg?

Current one:

Quote:hostname "NARWHAL BATALLION"
rcon_password "*********"

I don't think anybody can really help you with this :/

[komosky]

such an odd problem

[loopyman]

That's why nobody has a clue...

Do you have an admin mod installed? I know for my tf2 server, if i attempt to change the level using "map" or "changelevel" it kicks everyone with the reason "server shutting down"

For sourcemod the command is "sm_map" to change it without kicking everyone, see if your admin mod (if any) has a specific command for a mapchange

If not, then try installing one
