What happened? How did it mess up?

I spawned in this room when I joined the server for example...



Edit: Hmm, I found a stash of videos from the LocoGamers Server, time to put them to use.

Ah, I see. Actually I'm glad you bring this up. The reason you spawn in there, is the same exact reason why sometimes in Crash Course you spawn half way through the map instead of at the beginning. I was speaking with another admin about it and we looked into it and found the cause.

For some strange reason the programmers added "beginning" spawn points at those parts of the map even though they shouldn't be there. First maps of Crash Course, Dead Line and The Sacrifice have this problem. This can be fixed though. I just need to make some edits to the server and this won't happen again.

Louis screaming help in there with that music was actually pretty funny

You should have aces to the re-spawn command. I'll check that too.

Quick question for a video I'm making, when was the Locogamers Server first created?

I'm not sure, but Javier told me it had been around more than a year when I first started playing there in November 2011

I forgot to mention that the server pack also has custom items, like different colored med kits, custom music mostly from from L4D2, and even the Jepaordy theme and some other stuff.

It's not that I'm against it...

But ever since the server pack was added to the server, I have been crashing to desktop a lot.

In the past 3 days, the game crashed more than it usually does in an entire month. And every time I start a second map in a campaign, something ALWAYS messes up in some way.

...

I've seen that today myself as well. I think the problem is that the server is trying to keep up with sending all the new model information to everyone. Meaning since the game doesn't normally load these, you are now using up more RAM. And take into account all that the game has to load already before it even load these models.

When I ran tests weeks ago, I started with 83 models at once and the game couldn't keep up with it. Then I had 60 models at once and it ran fine. But then again I ran these test alone, so I was the only one on the server when I did it. Right now there's 42 models loaded at once out of the 98 that are in the pack. Maybe reducing the amount that are loaded at once will lighten the load on all players and the server to prevent the crash issue. I'll try with 30 and see if that helps.

It probably does have something to do with RAM, as a couple of times, I got an 'out of memory' error.
