[Plugin] T5SP Session error fix

Nehalem · Apr 29, 2023, 8:26 AM

Hello everyone,

I've been working on a server plugin which tries to fix the servers session issue for T5SP, it should recreate the session on the fly without disconnecting anyone and without stopping the current game. No more manual server restart should be required.

After 3 consecutive session modify fails, it will try to recreate the session then after 3 consecutive session create fails, it will try to re-initiate the connection with Plutonium servers.

Plugin download: https://github.com/Nahelam/t5sp-session-fix/releases/latest

To install it just put it in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plutonium\storage\t5\plugins folder.

Nehalem Half a sleep at 4am thinking “I wonder if there’s a fix for the session modify errors plaguing my servers from the start.” Go to check, and FINALLY! Haven’t tested it but just wanted to immediately comment and profess my love for you. Thank you for dedicating your time and effort to this!

Update: Works like a charm using r3227 (using previous revision for other reasons). No issues, crashing or weird bugs so far.

Ahrimdon Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad it works without any issue on your side.

I'm also surprised it works on a different version than r3417 because I'm checking a string address to determine if the map_rotate command comes from Plutonium modifications or the game itself, the address seemed fixed when the call came from Plutonium so I decided to rely on it but I thought it would change across versions.

You can verify if it works properly by checking the logs and look at the lines between [SESSION FIX] Attempting to reconnect... and [SESSION FIX] Reconnection successful, if the reconnection is successful the server shouldn't rotate maps (unless it is the end of the game).

If it rotates systematically after a reconnection attempt it means that the condition doesn't work properly and if this happens in the middle of a game it can be really frustrating for the players.

Just updated the plugin on GitHub, had a weird behavior today, it tried to create two sessions in a row without deleting the previous one and the server console got unresponsive, the plugin got stuck somehow so the server was unjoinable until I restarted it.

The changes I made should fix the issue, I added more checks to avoid this kind of behavior, you can already download the build GitHub automatically made at the bottom of the page of the latest action if you want (Release binaries).

On my side I'll let the updated version run a couple of hours before creating the release on GitHub just to make sure it didn't introduced new bugs.

Made some new changes today, should fix an issue when it says that the session has been successfully recreated but in fact it doesn't and the server becomes unjoinable.

If the session recreation really works, you should see the message SESSION CREATE ERROR 0 on the console, the game prints error but actually 0 means that everything is OK because it translates to BD_NO_ERROR (you can check codes here).

Sometimes this message wasn't showing even if the plugin printed [SESSION FIX] Session recreated successfully so I added a check that should detect this behavior.

I will again let the plugin run a couple of hours before creating the release, the build is available in actions if you don't want to wait.

could u send me a download for the utils for some reason i can get yours but not the utils :S

Nehalem · May 7, 2023, 6:25 PM

@WeedLikeToSmoke You mean t5-gsc-utils? It has no release but you can get a dev build here at the bottom of the page, click "Release binaries".

Nehalem thanks got it!

Nehalem Hey man, just wanted to update you on a few things. It runs perfectly, however for some odd reason it will randomly execute "map_rotate" when recreating the session mid-game. Could it be the version I'm running, or have you have any problems of that sort. Even with this issue it's still amazing to even have the servers run for days and as always, the community is grateful for the effort!

Edit: I also should specify that it has most likely been this way since I first added it, however I just noticed in game at the time of this post! So essentially my question is, is it possible to prevent a full session restart mid-game after 3 failed attempts at a reconnection? Or is that unavoidable?

Ahrimdon Thanks for the feedback!

If you were using version r3417 this shouldn't have happened, but since you are running another version it is expected that map_rotate prevention doesn't work properly, I have an idea to make it work regardless of the version, hold on.

Nehalem · May 8, 2023, 6:51 PM

Ahrimdon Ok here it is, click "Release binaries" at the bottom of the page, now it should prevent map_rotate to be executed while reconnecting regardless of the Plutonium version, I can't test it right now, let me know how it goes, you should be notified with [SESSION FIX] Prevented map_rotate in the logs when it happens.

Could clientside EXE_ERROR_CREATING_SESSION be related to this issue as well?

Dec · wrote on May 10, 2023, 7:57 AM

works perfectly fine for me for past few days thanks!

Nehalem · May 15, 2023, 5:34 PM

FaN514 I've never experienced this error on the client side, when does it happens? Is it the error you get when you try to join a server which has session issues?

@WeedLikeToSmoke I'm glad it works for you.

Btw I published version 1.3 of the plugin few days ago, you may encounter the map_rotate issue if you're using older versions of the plugin with the latest Plutonium version.

Nehalem Great job Fixing some of the major issues with T5SP running on a server. It's too bad Dead Ops Arcade is the only map that has issues running on a server. If you ever have a chance or interested would be great to look into it so there can be servers hosting the map. Mainly the issues are that when you join the server you can't move or kill zombies when you spawn in and you have to remove the custom script zm_spawn_fix provided by plutonium to even start the map. I just copied zm_spawn_fix to all the other map folders so it doesn't effect the map from starting.

Nehalem
When you leave client hanging for some time and go afk. You'll get that error in console and won't be able to join online servers or create private server (in-game lobby). Kind of annoying when you play the game and host dedi on same PC.

alnoise · May 24, 2023, 8:52 PM

Legend.

Fixing something Plutonium devs apparently couldn't... Thank you for this.

Edit: After using it for a little bit I noticed it interferes with iw4madmins webfront (players and chat aren't showing up). That's the only issue I could find though. Thanks so much again.

Nehalem · wrote on Jun 18, 2023, 5:23 PM

RedxSkull Thanks, I'm not into modding CoD at all these days, but if someday I decide to go back into it I could potentially take a look into this DOA issue if it still exists.

FaN514 Oh ok, I wasn't aware of this issue on the client side, since you can't load plugins with the client, you could try to play with some console commands such as disconnect, xstopparty, xstartparty, etc. to see if it fixes your issue. I'm not sure it will but who knows.

alnoise You're welcome, thanks for reporting but I haven't planned to look into IW4MAdmin stuff, I hope someday T5SP will get a proper fix for all these sessions issues.

Nehalem Sometimes when server is started, restarted or server rotate it seems to try fix the session and fail but eventually manages to fix it. This still causes the session error which can be only fixed by restarting server.

Other than that nice work.
