I wouldnt wanna try reinstalling your server so this is what i would do on your server via ftp locate that file then from your pc locate the file and replace it with the one from your pc and restart your server if this dosent work please pm me as most dont know but i do actally install the dod server setups for linux servers or windows servers for lots of people :p let me know

Regards

pretty sure it has nothing to do with any file..

its a bug or something that ive seen happen all the time.. doesnt seem to be a clear reason as to why.. seems sometimes its from plugins, sometimes specific maps, motd problems.. so who knows :-(

i used to get it alot on my server but i hardly ever do anymore.. dont know what made it go away lol

[blobby]

'AY&SYN&' lol that is on my server its a file lol D-O in hld_s on ftp at the very top second file down m8 but maby you could be right maby the plugin or whatever is blocking that file or isnt supposed to but is according to my friend at INX he says its a client file that is checked on connection but i said it cant be he said if the one on the server is corrupt your server will only let well known players onto it who have been on upto 7times in a week sounds odd but i dunno hes been right with everything ive asked him :s but i dunno lol just give it a blast m8

P.S sorry if i sounded rude D-O its just me :p

[diamond-optic]

Read this thread, last post and link.

Evidently the motd hosted elsewhere other than the box does not completly get rid of this error. We took this guys advice and it greatly helped, hardly ever happens now at all.

Hehehe, I know what causes this and have found the fix long ago.

Here's the deal, HLDS can only allocate 8192 of ram in order to deal with all types of text files. Thus whenever it needs to allocate more it will create a buffer overflow and print out that long ass string for the client and then BAM, The client gets kicked. You can test this if you have a lot of maps on your server and type "list maps" in your console while ingame. i have about 600 maps and when i do, i get kicked on the spot.

the only way to completely get rid of this nasty little bugger, is to make sure your not running too many cfg,ini,txt files, So that it wont overflow.

Also serving your MOTD from your web site in an Iframe will help a lot.

So heres the fix. Add "-zone 8192" in your startup lind for HLDS and then serv your motd from your web site and then trim all of the plugins you run down. Especialy the ones that need to use any type of text file in order to work. The -zone 8192 command will at least tell HLDS to give the max amount of ram to it in order to handle all of the text files.

You know what this means for plugin authors dont ya.
Many server admins wont be able to utilize any more/new plugins that use any type of txt file if their recieving this error, Until they trim down their shite, Or the error will persist.


If you want more info on this then read my post on the HLDS linux admins forum.

The offcial SVC_bad error fix.

I also posted the fix for the segfault error when starting up a linux server when running shrikebot. if you have that error, You'll need to use the MM1.19p32 version.

Good luck and happy fragging. I'm MAUGHOLD By the way, one of many names i have gone by in the 7 years playing did since 1.0 beta.
