[Tool] Server crash recovery

[Marco]

This is a tool to make server restart on the last played/voted map after a server crash (assuming server has auto-restart script).

Download from here.

To install this:
- Edit MapRecover.ini and set a safe "FallbackURL" with a map and game mode that will not fail to load (this is important in case players tried to vote for a broken map that can't be loaded)!
- Edit server KillingFloor.ini and find lines with:

ServerActors=IpDrv.MasterServerUplink
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer

Now append a new line with:

ServerActors=MapRecover.MapRecover

- Save and close the ini file.
- Make sure server starts up on a simple map and game type with no mutators so it can boot up quickly for startup level switch, good example is:
Entry?Game=Engine.GameInfo (+ server specific URL)

If you have any questions or bug reports, please post them here!

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
It is needed for me.

 

[tunins]

how it works?

 

[slavek]

Just curious, will this work if the server is force restarted from a webpage/bat file? Or does it only apply to crashes?

It will work on anything that shuts down server.

 

[MetalMedved]

great stuff!

 

[HaTeMe]

Nice, always found it kinda annoying having to play the same map over and over just because the server tends to crash every day (anyone whos played heavily modded servers probably knows what I mean)

 

[MetalMedved]

Well it works but server with this mut can't be pinged on favorites tab like added one by dns address

White Listed !!!

Is it? If it is I will have to go and put this on all my servers (depending if it'll allow me).

[Dark4eg]

[Computer Doctor]

Server autorestart script

Server autorestart script

I would like to install this on my server but when my server crashes i don't have or know of anything that i can install/enable that will start the server back up by itself,,, any links for this stuff would be great

This is a bug on one of the recent patchs from before christmas. This is nothing to do with this mutator.

 

[shocktrooper114]

So this really doesn't work without a restart skript?

 

[Demon_333]

Any news on fixing the server crash issue after christmas? because most of the time on map change ill get these critical errors even using the map recover and the server will get stuck, until i restart it.

Spoiler!

Any news on fixing the server crash issue after christmas? because most of the time on map change ill get these critical errors even using the map recover and the server will get stuck, until i restart it.

Sadly there is no fixing that, it's something to do with the source or from what I've heard, UCC doesn't fully shutdown when it crashes and doesn't close

God that sucks, i hope it will be fixed. I always have to manually restart and this is a pain.

I doubt it will be soon, only way to fix it is to remove the map the players were previously on before the map change cause that is the map that causes it

 

[Demon_333]

It seems to happen on every map for me
