Mysterious Stranger

The host s using a downloaded server package (jampded/server.cfg) if you could find out the source of it you could view the rcon. Just hope they hadnt put //..

Heh that happened with magnavolge...send them an angry ticket. Don't suppose you remember what the default rcon pass was, assuming yours came with one? Maybe with the recent attacks they thought a reinstallation would fix things.

I saw a great deal of *Jedi* servers on GameTracker with similar IPs, yours(with that port) is one of them. It looks as though someone has reinstalled many game servers... Set show 50 servers, go to page three an you'll find yours amongst the *Jedi*'s

Heh, yes. All of them are. I also discovered I wasn't the only one under attack just that others weren't aware of it until they did developer 1

A million years later I reappear ~~ Just confirmed it IS getstatus, cause the attacker(s?) decided to move onto some of my dedicated servers and I got a chance to see exactly what was going on. The server with better hardware shows no sign of being affected by it, however the one with less resource does get its CPU chewed. Apparently the better hardware one had been attacked for ages and I wasn't aware of it (lol!) With regard to the JKA server that first started this thread, it got better when the port was changed. Now it only happens once every many days >.< I think it's a bot network, cause both dedi's are showing numerous different IPs. WTB fix soon D:

Holy... I use Avast too! *scurries off to check disk space*

I thrive on 300...and I turn into a really good sniper if I'm lucky to get 230-240 ping. But maybe it is the ping that makes me prefer Korriban over the rest or maybe just less effort needed... Is it going to be default or JA+? I might hop on if it isn't in the dead of the night.

heheh yea. i was 14 then and thought av's took care of everything. (later when it went for maintenance 5000 spyware were found ) though, ive never gone back to kaspersky >.<

Lol. The virus affected my antivirus and it was Kaspersky. Deleted it and it was all good. Installed another one of course. thought antiviruses were supposed to be defensive...

I had a virus that ate *all* my disk space...

:wacko: i need to stop doing t hings in the wee hours of dawn... Server went wonky again an hour ago and recovered in ten minutes...i'll update here when the host tells me what he's been up to, if he will tell me.

Same here I'm curious. Well if the hitch warnings were affecting the dedicated server, then surely other clients would have complained but so far no one has stepped forward. Or at least the host would stop my server permanently until fixed and not restart it over and over and over again for hours. It's fine now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way. Unrelated stuff: I'm following the topic but getting no notifications.

thanks for the quick response and the xD reply notification. Wonder how I didn't see it before. On Luigi's forum he had patch made...I can send you the link privately if you want. Nope they started before the host applied a patch. After the patch it's still merrily going on. I'm not with ET, some small unknown host I plan to add to the directory after enough good experience with them.

Refresh my memory but getstatus is similar to infostring? Ugh I used to know all these. The strange thing is, the jampded I use for that particular server is being used on all my other servers and those are working perfectly fine. Also this 'attack' comes not when the server is full but when it has very few people or empty. The lag which I'll assume came from the hitch warnings, disappeared on its own twice. I've never been able to keep the server playable for more than 90 minutes. I've asked them to monitor the traffic and resource usage, but it's a one-man army (what I like to call hosts that are run by one person with boxes) and they don't exactly have the manpower. He/they didn't elaborate on the patch but it's likely one of Luigi's. Btw is there a 'subscribe to topic' somewhere so I can get notifications when someone's replied?

Only in the past two days one of my servers started lagging like nobody's business. I'm not talking about internet connection here because I can still do a rcon status and receive instant reply. It's happens for several hours then stops for a bit, then happens again. I had a chance to go in and see the lagometer green area turn yellow then suddenly the top part goes all yellow. 10 seconds later 1mm of green block appears below. I opened a ticket with my host and they believe that my server is being 'attacked' despite all known patches that I've applied. Later they said they installed a patch that 'stopped the attack from going out' but that the server is showing massive hitch warnings. None of their other servers appear to be affected. I've tried deleting logs, running default maps...nothing. I could reinstall the server and see if that fixes it but I'd like to know what exactly is going on. Has anyone ever had such a problem? ' indicates in my host's own words.

I'm using ffa3 as my base map and the space is huge. Only problems I met were too many func's (doors etc) but aside from that it's all good. That and the fps can drop pretty bad. You're right that it's not too good if it only works for some people, but I intend it to be say, a clan-only area or a different place to AFK ingame.

oo I didn't know that. Awesome, it works now, thank you very much. *gives cookie* Only bugger is if people wanna join in the custom map they have to rename theirs too or download the modded map. Oh well. (can close this thread if mods want to)

{ "classname" "misc_bsp" "origin" "-68859 30483 -4380" "bspmodel" "academy1" } Nope I did not rename the custom map's bsp in my base folder. Do I have to?

But I see the map in the server as though I don't have the custom map at all. :$ yet I have the custom map in my base.

this (copied from that thread) The last thing that comes to mind is client-side map plugins, a very fun and handy trick. Normally when you load up a map on a server all the clients who connect have to have it. There's a way around this. You can rename your custom map .bsp to that of a base map and put it in the folder that the assets use for the map in your own pk3. An example would be your could take JSA Trials and toss it into the /maps/ folder of a pk3 with the name academy1.bsp Then if you use a misc_bsp to connect it to your map along with a teleporter to get there you'll be able to have fun in a custom map while those who don't have it can still connect. One thing to take note of though is if your custom map in question uses bmodels (doors and so on) in a quantity exceeding that of the base map you overwrote, those who enter into the map but do not have your client pk3 will crash to the main menu. This is because while the engine can load up a bmodel even if it isn't the one being used, it can not load a bmodel that never existed in the base version. ________________
