We've been having issues with our server crashing lately and after some investigation I've come to conclude that the AWE Mod is at fault.

So I removed it.


In its place is PAM, or Project Ares Mod.

We lose a lot of our little toys, like picking a secondary weapon, or voting for the next map when the current map ends. However, in exchange we get similar admin capability, a mod that will automatically divide the map into halves and switch the teams around so everyone gets a chance at each side. PAM is also seen as THE mod for ladder/league play, dozens of ladders and leagues out there require it running on match servers.

I encourage everyone to try it out and see what they think, I can put AWE back on at any time but I would have to first figure out what the heck is causing the crashing -- and I've been reading various forums, nobody else seems to know how to fix the MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS error either.

Post comments/questions/suggestions relating to this MOD switch here.
Thanks

Good job as per usual Red. We all appreciate the time you spend.

Yeah. I will miss the secondary gun you can pick . But the fact that we wont crash anymore is a mega plus. Good job red!

I found this topic on another forums

http://www.mercilessmod.com/modules.php ... ic&p=11197

and did you search the AWE forums for MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS?

I found a few possible usefull tips..... gotta run ill edit later with the info.

Yes Ive searched all over, all I get are ideas to try that dont work.


The issue is were being hosted on Linux, and AWE doesnt like running on Linux at the moment.

Ill try switching back to AWE when I get a chance, but I'm going to be very reserved as to what options I turn on, since I think the fact that we kept added more and more features was what led up to the big crashes.

MAX_GAMESTATE_CHARS exceeded tells me that weve got too much crap on our server and its run out of memory reserved for the GAMESTATE to hold it all.
