HLDS Windows auto reboot

[Hephie]

Dear All,

I've been looking all day now to fix my problem. But i still didn't succeed and i don't know any other options. I have tried several things (which I will describe below), but they all didn't work out the way i want them.

I'm running an hlds counter-strike server on a windows 2008 server.
Everything's running very good and smoothly, i'm only having one problem.

There are a lot of maps on the server, sometimes when changing to a map, there's a model or a sprite missing, which causes the server to "crash".

What it does, it pops open a "hlds fatal error message".

After clicking "OK" the server automatically reboots. It's the "OK"-clicking part i want to avoid. Or just neglect these fatal error messages, I don't want them to pop up, or i want them to automatically close after a few seconds (or immediately)

After the "OK"-click in the fatal error screen, the server automically reboots.

The server auto reboots because the server is started up with a script (batfile), whenever the hlds.exe is killed/exited (accidentaly, or by rcon quit, or...), it automatically relaunched.

The script:

code:

:TOP
hlds.exe -console -game cstrike +port 28000 +map de_dust +maxplayers 12 -autoupdate -nocrashdialog
GOTO TOP

I've already tried:

• Running the server in background (through a scheduled task)
• Using firedeamon (which is a tool to run the hlds.exe as a service (services.msc), www.firedeamon.)
• Adding -nocrashdialog as parameter in my startup script (doesn't help either)

that's about it, i'm totally out of things to do, i hope somebody can offer some help!
Many Thanks for the one who does! Feel free to ask something back at anytime!

Best Regards,
Thomas

You could try to get a hold of the missing files. But crashes can happen regardless of how well you maintain the server, therefore what you could do is simply create a script or use a program that can automatically click OK when the dialog box comes up. Shouldn't be too hard to find and use. Problem might be that it uses some resources (though, probably not much..) but if you can't find a setting to accomplish your wishes, it is probably the best thing to do, unless you want to rummage through the sourcecode of the program yourself to change the dialog box..

Als je de hele topicstart in het Engels maakt is het natuurlijk wel makkelijker om je probleem overal ter wereld op anderhande forums te zetten. Dan moet je geen moeite stoppen in het vertalen, en volstaat een simpele copy/paste. Helaas voor jou zijn we een Nederlandstalig forum en verwachten we wel degelijk een beetje meer inspanning. En gezien je homepage heb je geen enkel probleem met Nederlands. Deze gaat dan ook gewoon dicht.
