As most of you allready noticed, the wireplay server is rather unstable, basicly the jkja dedicated server executable for linux is a mess on its own, but that what got fixed for the windows version didnt solve much for the linux variant...
I suspect it has something to do with the cloudcity map, and as such i have TEMPORARILY removed it from the map rotation to see if the other 2 maps make the same happen... if not, then renegade has something to go on it seems, if they do then cloudcity is just the one getting there first.
There is a script installed that handles 'clean' crashes, and does that for all WP servers... it works like a charm but it can not restart servers that die but dont 'exit' ... we call them 'Server Drops' as the last lines in the logs are along the lines of:
*******************
ERROR: BG_EvaluateTrajectory: [GAME SIDE] unknown trType: 1152324936
********************

ShutdownGame:

DROPPED
When a server crashes in this fashion we need to restart it by hand... the MB mod team does not have ssh access, so only the WP staff can handle those crashes... there is some work in the pipeline, hopefully it will make it easier for the regular admins to restart a server without ssh access.
In anycase, we are trying to keep up with the server crashes and restart them as soon as we see or notice them... Come in on #wpjk on irc.quakenet.org to warn the admin team it crashed again as soon as you notice the server being away for longer then 5 seconds (the 'clean' crash recovery takes about 5 seconds tops).
We at Wireplay hope you can enjoy this mod nevertheless, and hope to see you online some time :)
