server shutting down?

[pumita]

Hello! When I try to host my server and join it from the internet, it always says "Disconnect: Server shutting down", when I'm obviously not shutting down!

Help! Thanks

UPDATE: it appears it only happens when you change the map

[pumita]

Update: It appears it's only momentarily disconnects while the map is changing. Example: if I do "rcon map de_dust2" then I get booted off, but I can rejoin later and the map will be dust2. However, if I do "rcon map_dust2;retry", It connects me directly into the game as if the server had never shut down.

What I think is happening is the server restarts during the map change, as oppose to simply changing the map.

Can anyone help me figure out why? Thanks again

Try to use this instead:

Code:

rcon changelevel de_dust2

[pumita]

wow that works!! Thank you so much!!!!!

But why? I mean using map worked before... was it some sort of update?

I don't know. All I know is that I've always used changelevel for map changes

map is the command to load the first map on the server, if you use the map command, the complete server gets disconnected and does some kind of internal restart. All settings get thrown away and reloaded as far as I know when you use the map command.

changelevel should be used at all times when the server is running
