Problem with map loading (Only on CJBeta)

[_DanTheMan_]

Whenever I load my map mp_portal on any mod, there are no problems. However, if I to load my map on codjumperbeta, I get the following error message:

ERROR
Attempted to overrun string in call to va()

This is my zone file:

Does anyone know what the problem is?

[Drofder2004]

This is too my knowledge caused by sending an overflow of information to the server.

Mostly this is the map rotation being too long.
Have you got anything in your GSC that is sending data to the server?
Have you got any strings which are really long?

Basically, try and make sure every command you send is less than 1024 characters long.

If that dont help, post again.

[_DanTheMan_]

Actually, in trying to remove this I at one point completely disabled all scripts in my map, only leaving the

maps\mp\_load::main();

game["allies"] = "marines";
game["axis"] = "opfor";
game["attackers"] = "axis";
game["defenders"] = "allies";
game["allies_soldiertype"] = "desert";
game["axis_soldiertype"] = "desert";

section, so I'm not sure if it could be something in the .gsc files.

Edit: The error stopped, and I didn't change anything... however the map is also not working on any online servers now.. it just starts the map, and when a player connects his game crashes. Any ideas on that?

[Drofder2004]

Its a server issue for sure.

Post you server config, obviously removing passwords, etc.

Also, I tried my map on at least 3 different servers; this is the first server's CFG.

[Drofder2004]

Seems fine.

How many entities is your map using?

[_DanTheMan_]

My map is using:
40 triggers
92 script_origins
~10-12 script_models/script_brushmodels

[Drofder2004]

Are you loading in developer mode?

Make sure developer is off.

This error is hardly seen in CoD4...

Also, is the server 1.7 patched?

[_DanTheMan_]

I am not using developer mode.

[TechPB]

let me add that the server was on 1.7 (well at least mine)

[Drofder2004]

Ok, I would suggest removing the contents of sv_maprotation for now and just adding your own map to it.
I would also suggest compiling your map without any required entities.

Do you have server/game logs?
If not could you create some fresh ones.

Does the map load with the mod in a private Listen Server?
Does the map load in ModWarfare?

[TechPB]

Well, i tried to everything out of sv_maprotation except for "gametype dm mp_portal" but server would not work and i was told that it is not possible to run a server on only a custom map ..... so i fixed it
and then i loaded up the map through CoD rcon 11 and this is what i saw, no i could be pointing something out completely useless but hey its worth a shot so here is a screenshot of when i loaded it

[Drofder2004]

That command is used by the game files to select an a string from the "Did You Know" table.
I did some quick reading and it turns out, that this error is normal.

How many IWD files are you listing in your mod folder?
Before the server crashes, try:
'fs_referencedlist'

And paste the outcome.

[TechPB]

^^
hope it helps

[Drofder2004]

I think we seriously are coming to an end of possibilities.

Can you tell me the exact file size of the mod.ff and the cj.iwd files?
Also, would you consider allowing me to try a local test on my own machine?
