I'll start and make the alterations, xp and shrubbot tonight to the other server, think I have to do the xp save and punkbuster on there as well.

That may be what I will do eventually but first I would like to find the issue with the server, the option was just to swap the NQ with the ETpub but if it is a issue with the host then I want them to rectify this.

The server is in its frozen state with the bots not moving and the auto downloading not working, I have just emailed the hosts so that can check their system to see when the issue occurred. Please don't restart the server via rcon "if rcon is working" so they can see it in this state. The other NQ server has been running for 6 days and 15 minutes using the same cfg's and files with no issues so this would indicate towards a host issue.

What time did you check and it was down? They have installed some software to trace its resources I just need to tell them an estimated time of fault. Just restarted it now.

Just restarted the server for the changes to take effect, I have joined and the files downloaded fine so it should be ok.

Done! server just needs a reboot for the mod to take effect.

These mods are 33 for the lite or 58 meg for the full mod and the sound pack is an additional 12 meg. Which one would you like? i'll get them on redirectional downloading tonight before adding them to the server but every one thats joins will have to download these when joining the server.

Do you have a link to this? Edit Dont worry found it now!

There is some thing strange here, Mini and I both have all our xp and there are still thousands of xp save files on the server. I know a lot of people have lost theirs because even gossamer has emailed me about this but you would expect either all or none to have been reset. I will be swapping the etpub server to a mirror of the NQ, this will be password protected with the pass teammuppet, this will allow the bots to play all day on their own and to see if there is any issue with the cfg and not the server. The host have installed some diagnostic software on to the server to view any issues from their end. I will set up the etpub server onto the etpro before this so this is not off line.

Same from me, a little late but just got back to the UK.

Can some one who is admin login via rcon and restart the server using the rconit software please, I am struggling to login to the server control panel from here. Cheers.

It wont take 5 minutes to swap the etpub server back to etpro once they are installed, the main issue is getting the mods installed and all the relevant files on the server to run the mods firstly, then it just a case of swapping the startline command to run the relevent mod.

I will restore the xp when I get back to the UK but that is not until next Friday, the saved files are on my desktop so there is no way I can restore these until I return from my holiday. The hosts are saying this is a cfg isuue and not a network or hardware issue, again until I return home I cant look into this. As soon as I get home I will run the etpub server on the exact cfg set up has the NQ server meaning we will have two servers running the same NQ cfg to prove what the issue is, I will change the etpro server to etpub until the NQ issue is rectified or until I swap hosts.

I´m thinking more of xp on the server than posts on forums, so people who are non members can build up a admin level on the server up to X level, keeps the regulars coming back, this would be below the normal level that tm members have, the main users of the forums are members so this would not really be applicable.

Sounds good to me (when I get the xp save files uploaded), sort of rewards the people who always play on the server. Come up with some sort of ladder system for this and then we can implement it if every ones agrees.

Yep, I´m already looking at this, I´ll wait until I return home and then sort this out for good, it may mean a change of host again, the other three servers are running under gameservers.com sort I may bring this one to them as well.

I have contacted the host again today, they esured me that the server fix had been completed last thursday but obviously not.

Is this working ok now?

Sorry crop, only just read this, exec custommaps.cfg

I can restore the xp save files when I return home but in the mean I will contact them again and find out what is happening.

Has everyone lost their xp?

This should be sorted now, if not or if there is any more issues with the server over the next two weeks email me as soon as possible, I will pick my emails up from my phone several times aday whilst I am away.

Hey Flame, welcome back. I have not been has active as before due to other comitments but now the summer is gone I will be back a little more as well. Look forward to shooting you again, many times!

Just got a reply; Hi Craig I've just noticed this and can see why it's happened. I'll be implementing a permanent fix first thing in the morning. I'll update this ticket to confirm. Regards, Oliver Warburton Managing Director INX-Network LTD

Back up and running now. If you press kill server it cant be restarted only by the host so that's the one button you don't want to press. Using rconit only allows you to do the commands if the server is running, so if the bots have gone and the scores are at zero but the server is running then you can use it to restart the server but if it is down then it needs to be restarted from my cp on the server hosts site. Yesterday I couldn't restart it either and had to get the host to do it which they did about 10pm last night. The server should be restarting every day now but if the server has no humans on at some point of the day just restart it manually using the rconit to make sure we don't have any issues.
