Switching to spectator causes laggs

[chef]

Hello,

Only certain maps(blue_v2) when a player switches to Spectator the server starts to lagg and the server console is spammed with methods being called..

Basically whenever someone switches to Spectator everyone gets lagg..

I also noticed when an admin goes into the Admin Panel the server keeps lagging(like a constant loop).

Code: Select all

(file 'codjumper/_codjumper.gsc', line 715)
  wait 2;

Any help on how to fix this?

Here you can see what the server does when a player switches to Spectator:

Code: Select all

(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 886)
 [[level.onSpawnSpectator]]( origin, angles );
         *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 852)
 in_spawnSpectator( origin, angles );
 *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 2160)
  [[level.spawnSpectator]]();
          *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_menus.gsc', line 205)
   self [[level.spectator]]();
                *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_menus.gsc', line 101)
  self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);
       *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 886)
 [[level.onSpawnSpectator]]( origin, angles );
         *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 852)
 in_spawnSpectator( origin, angles );
 *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 2160)
  [[level.spawnSpectator]]();
          *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_menus.gsc', line 205)
   self [[level.spectator]]();
                *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_menus.gsc', line 101)
  self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);
       *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 886)
 [[level.onSpawnSpectator]]( origin, angles );
         *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 852)
 in_spawnSpectator( origin, angles );
 *
(file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_globallogic.gsc', line 2160)
  [[level.spawnSpectator]]();
          *

There code you have posted does not show the full story and is practically impossible to debug.

Clear your server log, run the map and reproduce the error as quick as possible.
As soon as the error starts, kill the server.
Send the full log and hopefully it will show the source of the error.

In regards to admin menu, does this happen on all maps or just the few?
The admin section is unoptimised and to my knowledge is not causing serious issues.

There are no errors just lagg on certain maps when you switch to Spectator.

The admin menu lagg is also on the maps where the spectator switching occurs.

You just posted an entire code box full of errors. All of that code will point to an error, the error happens to fast for you to see it, that is why I said use an error log.

Ok here is my console_mp.log.
I switched to spectator in map: mp_blue_v2 and shutdown the server

Full log: http://www.mediafire.com/?g773tfa4bl4m8yr

Here is a part of the log:

It looks to me like this map is missing either a global intermission or DM spawnpoints.
Will take a look at the map

[Drofder2004]

I can confirm, this map has no "mp_global_intermission".
It is not fit for server use.

Why some other servers can use this map without the lagg? Is there some fix for it?

[Drofder2004]

I can only guess your server has "developer 1".
And no, there is no fix other than recompiling the map.

[chef]

I can only guess your server has "developer 1".

No, I checked ingame and "developer" = "0".

I also don't have that DVAR set anywhere in my server config or a script file.

[Chucky.]

I will have it fixed soon. Sorry. Keep an eye out on the blue2 thread if you want to upload after it's done. Thanks.

Then sorry but I do not know. Either way a map without spectator spawn should not be on any server - and author is fixing it.

There's alot of other maps with this issue:

mp_awe
mp_islands_v2
and more........

[Chucky.]

True...I have to recompile islands_v2 soon also because the Mantle on the first house (after spawn) is glitchy in some servers. I wont be uploading that here though. Maps done and dusted...Not like anyone liked it anyway.

Futile
Most of eBc maps

Oh god, so many more. But of course, my map gets removed instantly

Your map was the one that was reported to be causing these problems. Provide us a list of ALL the other maps that have this bug and we can remove them from the site as well.
