Auto-Admin Phrase Suggestion For HA

[Hobo]

There is no data to support this as a valid solution. We don't even know what a spawn bug is, let alone how to stop it effectively. We know it has a significantly higher probability of happening with bots turned on, and that it can stay or fix itself at random. What we know as the spawn bug seems to be almost always triggered by an admin, or autoadmin kicking someone. This fix is just a myth, just like saying glitching causes a spawn bug or lag or [insert negative result here].

It honestly would be simpler to write something that monitors player count, and if too many players leave (like 6 or 7) have it automatically reset the map or something.

Well, according to my inductive reasoning skillz, there seems to be higher chance of a spawn bug going away whenever I try to get people follow my request. But whether or not they actually did it is a mystery. Also, whenever the server is deserted due to spawn bug, it somehow magically goes away... This is just my noticing of patterns though, not sure if it's the real cause.

With the mod yall were talking about that could reset the server whenever a bug happens/unbalanced teams, if you guys really wanted a little "side-project", please feel free! I haven't a clue where to start. If this was Java, maybe if/else statements or something, I don't know.

Oh and quick question.. What programming language did the developers actually use to make SWBFII?

The only way to fix a spawn bug, is to restart the server. I haven't heard of any other way to fix it. And as long as players keep getting booted, there won't be a way to stop them.

Keep in mind, our HA server cannot be modded due to running with hypernia.
As far as the suggestion goes, will it help? i doubt it, however it won't hurt to have the auto-admin say it, at least people won't ask "how do you fix a spawn bug" 90% of the time when it happens.

You change to the next map in the rotation, you never stop the server.

I think you are thinking of a boot bug.

That link doesn't work for us mortals

On my server, [NR]Killzone, Dark's server, and Merc's old server, I noticed that spawn bugs tended to happen after the admin kicked multiple players from the server. And I have found that the bug can be cleared if the entire affected team merely stops attempting to spawn-hitting that lovely cancel button. One 15-second spawn cycle without the affected team attempting to spawn will clear the bug.

Yes, my bad...I was thinking about boot bugs.

by the way... why do we get so many server crashes?

Drinking and flying can cause crashes.
