OKAY, so this server I play on started encountering some weird issues. The server was not mis-configured, no files had been touched in 2 days. It was restarted a few hours before, but It was running perfect, then all of the sudden, newly joining players were encountering errors. Their classes were "unassigned", their RPnames would not show, they couldn't see any of there own info. Eventually everyone got it, and we thought a restart would help. It didn't do anything. We changed the server over to 3 other game modes, which worked fine. has anyone ever heard of this? And if they could help out, it would be greatly appreciated.
This server is a roleplay server, and runs on DarkRp.
Perhaps someone fucked up in making the jobs? I take it this server is NOT yours?

If you werent stupid, you would have read that the server was working fine for a while BEFORE the error occured.
Besides the jobs apperently work.

Thanks Optimal
That goes back to my second sentence. There a Steam profile for the owner of the server?
Also, no need to get pissy for no reason.

And I get pissed when people do stupid shit;
But thats asside the point of this thread.
Did you try running a steam update from your control panel just incase and make sure you have the svn to darkrp?
[QUOTE=Jonny1270;31425070]Did you try running a steam update from your control panel just incase and make sure you have the svn to darkrp?[/QUOTE]
According to Optimal, the server doesnt use an SVN.
The server wouldnt allow players to join if there was a steam update (Server is using an older verison of the game)
Besides why would those things cause this problem after the server runs problem free for hours?
Dunno Dark rps weird like that because of all the overlapping coding and stuff if you dont use svn sometimes itll get crashy.

plus somtimes when a steam updatee hits it fucks up a bunch of mods.....mostly darkrp

Make sure your cache is up-to-date.
If the cache is fine, make sure all of the players delete their current cache folder and rejoin the server.
I remember this fixing it for an RP server I used to manage.

If you script one thing wrong in the DarkRP jobs then it can easily screw it up. Actually really badly. But if the admins/ the owner cant get their head out of their ass and do something, then it isnt a good server. (Sorry for curssing, but bad admins/owners shouldent have servers)

Read a bit before you post
=========================
Maybe im not being clear enough
The server restarded, It was running normally, Without a reload/restart, the script started breaking (About 3 hours in)
=========================
Thats right, give me a dumb cause I gave u a dumb
Just make comfort yourself that you are smart by calling me dumb
So I was sent the gamemode
Waiting to get loaded up
==========================
Nothing looks busted
Just looks like they need a new version of RP
I should keep looking though
Another breakthrough
The server was put on a completely STOCK out of a FRESH DL of the [b]Current Version[/b] of DarkRP ([url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=88948[/url]) (Which the gamemode was made from(A later verison, not the current)).
The same thing was seen.

================
Apperently VGUI for things like votes and lotteries doesnt work aswell
================
Optimal added Bots to the server, and used a "Bot RP Adjuster" he wrote to change the RPname of the bots (and job, He set the number to high so they turned into some black class) using
[code]
-- Set the NW String that controlls names
trace.Entity:SetNWString("rpname", name)
[/code]
Before name change on bots
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/OptimalSquirrel/screenshot/542901600353800522/?[/url]
After name chenge on bots
[url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/OptimalSquirrel/screenshot/542901600353800522/?[/url]
So RPnames arnt being set correctly on the server apperently
Try adding "lua_log_sv 1" to the server's startup config (usually server.cfg) and then check if a "lua_errors_server.txt" file is created in the garrysmod root. If it is, paste it's contents here.
Ill tell him to try that, and post back when he does
[editline]5th August 2011[/editline]
Apperently the servers admin only aimbot isnt running/ its file wasnt read (for the non stock DarkRP)
So whatever you get out of that... :v:

I also Uploaded the File I was sent

Use the SVN..
This makes me think that the custom edits to DarkRP have caused problems, you will likely need to ask the person that made the edits to fix the problems that they caused.

*Face rub* The server was running fine (The server was running for 3 hours using the code) when It started to break though, thats the thing
How could the edits cause problems that far into the server run?

Ima ignore everyone else, and answer OP's question.
This usually happens when the server can't upload the information, and datastream seemingly breaks.
Of course, there's no way to prevent this, but you can do the following:
Increase your rate to 30000, sv_maxrate 30000, and sv_minrate 30000 on the server.
Optimize the Update rates.
Here's how:
If you have a 66 tick server, maxupdaterate 67, and min is 66. If you're on 33, than max is 34, min is 33.
Set your FPS to 1 over your tickrate to optimize the FPS for the best performance.
Now, get a higher upload speed, and I also heard that MySQL can cause issues.
MySQL also can help, if setup correctly.
Goodluck sir.

HOOOOKAY...
Optimal FINALLY Got around to it,
You claimed we needed to [QUOTE=Jaastin;31619758] Increase [/QUOTE] Our rates
sv_maxrate is 0 (which is infinite band width, according to server console)
sv_minrate is 3500
[b]=,=[/b]
For a ticrate of 33 (What the server has)
sv_maxupdaterate is 66
sv_minupdaterate is 10
==========================================
Whatever this all means, Im not sure
Well dispite all this work, the server was put on the DarkRP SVN
The problems gone, But "All the custom codes are gone QQ"
I feel like I could have done more, so I'll be assisting with the transfer of the (non overwriting) code
