My server crash after working for about an hour or two.

Sometimes it throws error message like this:

Other times, just crash without any notification.

I checked InfinityScript.log and game_mp.log nothing strange in both of them.

The question is.. how to trace the cause of the crashing?

Would you be willing to share the code behind the ServerAdmin Plugin?

I really don't mind.. it's from bone'smind source code but converted to InfinityScript with some additions.

But it's a little bit messed up code. so it's not good to be tagged as a RELEASE until it's cleaned a bit.

I'll put the link here after I upload the plugin ehem the source code >.>

Well I don't see servers on r29 crashing at all, it's your scripts fault most likely.

Sure thing, the question is how to find the problem? There are a lot of lines in there :/

Are you spawning threads?

This time, server produced this error in server console and in InfinityScript.log:

Remove your threads.

Also why are you using GetServerCFG and reading a file? Why not using dvars?

 

You should really clean up that code.

Remove your threads.

True. Why I didn't think about it before.

About threads, I don't mind them removed if they are considered spamming or inappropriate. Also, I don't know how to remove them myself. Tell me how or ask an admin to do the job.

Lol, I was referring to program threading ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 80%29.aspx ), not threads in terms of a topic in a forum.

You pm'd me about dvars; The server.cfg (located in folder admin/) is loaded on server start up. In this file you can set variables (i.e. settings) which you then can access from your plugin with 'GetDvar'.

 

For an example check my 'Improved AntiCamp' plugin here viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20836

I totally misunderstood

This is far more better than reading from a file. I just didn't know how do it before.. Great!

Thank you!

If I remove all threads from code this will force me to find a replacement.

For example, !shout command shows a message 5 times, each time with different color. There's a pause of say: 4000 milliseconds between each one.

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
AfterDelay(4000, () =>
{
	Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + message);
});
}

This didn't work well with me, the 5 messages appeared all at once after 4 seconds.

Thread.Sleep causes server to lag/stop working.

Any idea? :?

If you think about it, this makes sense.

 

What you want is something like:

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
{
	Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + message);
});
}

this queues the delegate for execution in 4000ms, 8000ms, 1200ms and 1600ms

so this

Nope, the exact same problem.. nothing changed. I tested it 2 times.. same result.

What is shown in both cases is this:

^6message

^6message

^6message

^6message

^6message

I don't understand how ^6 appeared.. a mystery!

then you obviously fail; what I posted will work. For instance, check TestScript's doabarrelroll. You'll find that the same technique is used there.

Well, this is embarrassing. As you said, I failed. It works. :mrgreen: Thank you

But it prints only in purple that is ^6 why?

this is the exact code:

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
{
	AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
		{
			Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + result);
		}
	);
}

Try something like:

   for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
  {
     AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
        {
           Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + "The color code is " + i);
        }
     );
  }

So you can see what's really happening.

Try something like:

   for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
  {
     AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
        {
           Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + "The color code is " + i);
        }
     );
  }

So you can see what's really happening.

Please post your code (the whole function).

Please post your code (the whole function).

case "!shout":
{
	if (!(split.Length > 1))
	{
		Utilities.RawSayTo(issuer.EntRef, gmc + "!shout [message]");
		return false;
	}
	string txt = "";
	for (int i = 1; i < split.Length; i++)
	{
		if (split[i] == null)
		{
			return false;
		}
		txt += split[i] + " ";
	}
	string result = txt;
	for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
	{
		AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
			{
				Utilities.SayAll("^" + i + "The color code is " + i);
			}
		);
	}
	return false;
}

gmc btw, is a general color: gmc = "^2";

Well if you think about it, it actually makes sense.

The loop itself which is increasing the variable i does not have any delay. So when the code of your 'AfterDelay' is executed, the for loop already finished and i is 5.

 

Try something like this

      for (int i = 1, z = i; i <= 5; i++)
     {
        AfterDelay(4000 * i, () =>
           {
              Utilities.SayAll("^" + z + "The color code is " + z);
              z++;
           }
        );
     }

              z++;
           }
        );
     }

Works great. now each message is in different color starting from 1

Cheers
