NextMap Error

[Underworld]

Sometimes well almost always when a map switches and allot of people or playing,the map crashes and server admin gives me that error To many files open error then it crashes the current map making it unable to play because players will spawn in the midle of the map flags will fly around and no deadly polys will be there...

so how can i fix this?

Are you running server on Linux or Windows?

I had same kind of problem when running server on Linux, I am 90% sure it was because of CHMODding the files incorrectly. Never had the same problem on Windows.

Be sure to read this if you run it on Linux.

Also, check your mapslist.txt; something as innocent as a space at the end of a map name can cause it to fail to load.

Hmm, when there is a space after mapname in maplist.txt, it says that "map is not found or can not be loaded" to the client. ;s

Hmm, after further investigations, make sure you have NO empty lines after the maps. Or that you have all the maps written correctly to the list.

I had 2 empty lines after normal maplist, after I changed the map, I got the "Too many files open"-error.

I think it's a bug and can't be fixed on the user side whatever you do. I had it myself on maps which would usually load correctly, but occasionally not.

I also noticed that it happens, when many people are on the server.
