Jolt Server needs a restart

[Neraj]

The RL server isn't responding for some reason, maybe Ludi needs to manually restart it as it isn't auto restarting.

You can use putty to do this:

By the time you read this it might have been automatically restarted, but for now (some 2 hours later) it is still unresponsive.

Background information: About 10 minutes before the server went down, Hincey told me the rcon password so I could figure out how to kick/ban a tker.
I noticed the command "Users" wasnt working and was unresponsive, so I tested the console out to see if it was working.

I used sv_gravity 150 and sv_friction -19 and people were flying about the map at warp speed until hincey suddenly became stuck or something and the server timed out on us all.

Now I don't understand how that could be a cause for crashing the server, there were only 5 people on the server at the time. However, maybe sv_cheats was set to 1 and noticed people moving so fast it conflicted with the sv_friction -19 setting and crashed? this is only a theory but from my experience of my old clan server, it shouldn't crash because of a command like that?

I asked some people on the jolt channel and one of the forum mods, agreeing that it is unlikely to be the cause.

Just liked to say sorry if it is my fault, but tbh I had no idea the RL Jolt server was so fragile. :(

*hides*

Nah Honistly we did nought to it that would cause it to do that but hey what do i know :confused:

I really need to try this gravity thing.. and ... neraj stop wrecking things :P

Honestly though, why can't everyone with admin pw reset it?

[Neraj]

I could have done it, but you need the original password and username from the jolt email you recieve and only Ludi has it, unless he told Dengar etc.

Checked it now and its still down... I think auto-restart hasn't been selected for this server so you need to set that up.

Neraj, you tried to use User to find out his ID? I didnt even know a command called user existed in the sense for getting ID's, I've always uesd the command: status

Infact, while I dont know if it works for CS/Source engine games, user/dumpuser (quake 3 games) usualy gives you info on what the player has skins wise etc etc....

[Neraj]

Oh yeah forgot about status, will use that instead then, maybe Users works on a certain version? :confused:

[Ludicrouse]

Use... Status.

Dont set the friction to - figures....

800 is standard... higher for a heavier grav.

Lower for lighter moonjump grav...



Dont go below 0 cuz that crashes the game as the models are pulled in all directions.

[Ludicrouse]

Server restarted.... Now i know how SOE feels :p

[Flufball]

Now I remember the "user" command (quick checkuphax) it requires you to type a uersname or id, this can only be aquired through status (Or scoreboard for name), and gives you the info (ala dumpuser) of skins and whatnot.

"users" is a HL1 command, not sure if it is avaialble on HL2...

The server should have restarted automatically unless the box it is hosted on went down. You might have knocked out a whole bunch of clan servers. Please be careful with the commands that you run on the server as we don't want to incur the wrath of the Jolt admins and have to go back to MPUK....
