ROTU Zombie server issues

[WaLLy]

The server has issues, I know. Rather than complain, help the cause and please be SPECIFIC. The more details, the better I can help resolve the issues.

Known issues:
-after every server reboot, the server defaults to DM


If you have massive "Connection Interrupted" lag while in the server, please answer these questions:
-Are the other players having the same issue?
-You sure? Did you ask them?
-Which map were you on last?

If the server crashed, please answer these questions:
-Which map was it on?
-Time and Date?
-Who was in the server (not really necessary but if they can chime in, the better)?
-How many bots were in there?



There are at least 20+ maps ready for ROTU. I'm fairly certain some maps don't work. So help me try to eliminate the maps that don't work by reporting when shit happens.

If you have played the ROTU server for quite a bit and you see something that isn't "right", please let me know here.

and VERY IMPORTANT, if you get booted from the server but it was ONLY you, then that just means the server doesn't like you. My point is, that if you're the only one experiencing an issue and there are others in the server playing normally, then it must be on your end. Even so, report anything out of the ordinary.

But Wally its more fun to bitch about the problems without offering constructive ideas,etc

Lol I agree with Houston jk. One time I was playing, I guess one of the zombies was trapped in a wall and no one could get to him. It was in shipment and i think it was the other night. I remember Slaya being there. Sometimes zombies seem to go threw walls and stuff. Like one person was getting attacked by a dog that was in the grown. I was still able to kill it though lol. Even with these problems that show up now and then, I still think it's a lot of fun.

 

[WaLLy]

Ah yeah, that can be more than likely because of the map. That's really nothing I can do and consider that somewhat normal.

 

[Slaya]

Shipment lags the most, its lagged each time around the 3rd wave iv played in it

I have noticed this on multiple zombie servers. It is a map issue, and several maps are extremely prone to the problem occurring.

I can't pick perks to my class. For example I have engineer class, I cant choose the special abilities to it when I click on it. It all uses defaults. Also players dont die when they are down.

 

[Cent0]

i don't think theres a fix to the zombies going through walls.
it's like that on other ROTU servers

 

[Voodoo]

Evil House crashed the server when like eight of us were on >.>

Also no grav on desert killed us but i think that was mod-caused, Grrrr

Shipment lags everyone---sky fall some zombies simply dont show up to the party--- Castle and evil house both crashed the server.

 

[TheDude]

Joe, those perks are all active at the same time as you rank the class up. That is how every server running ROTU i have played on works. Your special includes everything in the category you have earned so far.

 

[Cent0]

Do we have a space map?

no grav on space would be cool.

 

[TheDude]

This thread is meant to help deal with specific issues with the way the mod runs and problems we are experiencing with it. I think it would be cool to have a suggestion box, but I don't think this is really the place for it. WaLLy has enough problems with the server already. You should totally make a s4 suggestions thread where people can ask for some tweaks and post links to maps and such. Best to get the server working solid right now, then we can tweak it.

That's exactly what I'm looking for! I'm trying to get rid of maps that make the server crash when there are multiple players on. By any chance do you remember what bot# you guys were around when the server crashed?

And the no grab was my doing. I thought it'd be funny to see some zombies floating, apparently the zombies are 100x that of human mass


And TY dude! This server is meant to get the issues worked out before we can move onto other additions/tweaks.

 

[Cent0]

May I suggest, WalLy, you go to other ROTU servers and see if the problems that you have are happening in theirs?

 

[Slaya]

It crashed when everyone tried loading the map

 

[TheDude]

well actually the server crashed before i loaded the map b/c i didn't have the map. The server crashed when IT loaded the map.

As good as that suggestion is, it really isn't going to help our server. Other server admins probably worked out their issues as well. Thanks for the tip though.

It crashed when everyone tried loading the map

thanks! I'll check to see if the files are missing from the redirect. If they're there, it probably means that map wasn't meant for version 2 and I'll remove it from the server and redirect.

 

[TheDude]

Did you post a DL link? Did it crash for ppl who already had downloaded all the maps if that was the case?

I can't pick perks to my class. For example I have engineer class, I cant choose the special abilities to it when I click on it. It all uses defaults. Also players dont die when they are down.

I can say that that without a doubt, having fully upped engineer all the way that some of the perks are not working. The use command to restore ammo works perfect but the ammo pack, turret repair, and scavenge abilities do not work and I don't notice the incendiary ammo change. This isnt the case with, say medic, which is working fine for me. Havnt tested the other classes but engineer Im almost positive isn't working properly.

 

[Slaya]

Medic fully isnt working, no infections to cure lol and you cant draw health from the zombies
