Destructoid Team Fortress 2

I just finished fixing some problems with the server. What was happening was every time the server would go to change the map, crash, then restart to ctf_2fort. This happened both from the SourceMod admin menu, as well as running an rcon command to change the server’s map.

The first place I checked was SourceMod, since that’s usually the thing to break after an update. I downloaded the newest snapshot and uploaded it to the server. Unfortunately, this didn’t work. I then spent the next hour reinstalling SourceMod and MetaMod, only to still have it not work. The SourceMod admin menu was working, however map changes still weren’t.

After scouring the server’s console log, and not finding anything apparent, I saw something off. In the area of the log that shows the replay diagnostic, I noticed that it said replays were turned off due to an error. After looking into it, I realized that when I made this site that I deleted the replay folder hosted on this server in order to easily install WordPress. The weird part is the fact that everything was fine on Tuesday when we played. For whatever reason, it chose today to make that an issue. It’s most likely due to an update. Now the replay folder has been recreated, and the server appears to not be having any issues anymore.

Weird how one little, unimportant folder being missing can cause such huge issues.

I wanted to extend a special thank you to everyone who has donated to the server! As of yesterday, donations exceeded the amount needed to run the server for another month! The server has been paid off for December, and we already have $9  toward January! You’ve probably noticed a donation button to the right of this page. With the new site, I was able to set up some tools to track donations as well as give recognition to those who donate here on the site. I’m still planning on doing some sort of donor recognition on the server itself, and I will let you guys know here when that happens, and what it will entail.

Thanks again everyone for your donations so far, and thank you in advance for your continued donations!

Greetings everyone! Welcome to the Destructoid TF2 server site! This site is set up to be a location to learn what’s new with the server, to download maps, and more. I’m still working things out with the site, but we should have more here soon! If you have any recommendations on the site, feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

For now, be sure to drop by the server for Team Fortress 2sday tomorrow night!
