Hello,
I'm posting this here because the author of Pointshop2, Kamshack, has been offline for quite some months now, and I'm in desperate need of help from professionals.
I've checked the docs and tried what options I had available from there, but I'm stuck.
I currently host with Hexane Networks, a reputable game server hosting provider, my server is 30 slots and the gamemode is terrortown. Recently, my server has had some trouble when changing maps, at first I thought it would be an addon (such as a map or model) that I added recently.
After complete removal of such addons, the issue remained. I've tried so much now that you'd expect, would fix an issue like this.I'm starting to believe it's something out of my control, but I'd still like to find out what, here's what I have managed to find out so far.
So, my server doesn't fully crash, it boot loops during map change before it even gets chance to load my custom loading screen (stays on retrieving server info) and you have to manually reconnect, in whicht he server has restarted itself back to the bootup map set in commandline.
I have tried:
Checking for outdated or broken addons
Removed anything added since the issue began
Tried debug mode
Checked server.cfg for anything out of ordinary
Checked commandline and for missing lines such as -condebug and -norestart
Tried hunkalllightmaps mode
Checked tickrate
Freshly re-installed and added everything back one-by-one
Used a fresh sv.db (issue still occured)
Looked for conflicting addons
Tried all of this again on a new game service set up by the provider CEO (new IP and server) which is a replica of my actual server
Tried debug mode in pointshop2's settings
Tried setting pointshop2 up to mySQL crashed still happening)
Tried debug mode and looked for crash dumps
Had the CEO set up a .lua to log tracebacks
Looked in all .txt files for errors
Had a friend set up a server with the same pointshop2 addons, map voting, ulx/ulib and maps and they didn't have an issue
How I partially resolve it:
Removed pointshop2/libk/pac3 (pointshop2 comes with libk and pac3, you can't work one without the other)
Fixed map crashing during map change EXCEPT from when changing to ttt_rooftops_2016 (which is a large map)
Current status
No pointshop2 on server to stop the annoying map change crashing or boot looping
ttt_rooftops_2016 (which never used to be an issue) has been removed
Unsure where to go from here because I need pointshop2 on my server
My server can change maps when pointshop2 is removed but I need pointshop2 on my server, it's crucial. If my sv.db isn't the issue, then it can't be the pointshop2 addon entirely, something else must be conflicting but it only effects the server when pointshop2 is on the server, I can supply a list of all my addons if needed.
Someone please help, I'm desperate for this to be resolved, I'll pay you like £50 if you fix it haha
