My MH servers are pretty active but crash periodically. I've started to stripping random mutators to see if it helps but feel its most likely poorly constructed maps.

schlong I've dug into this quite a bit. My opinion is fairly researched and I *think* the problem lies in the distance the monsters can see. It just creates too much work for the engine to cope with and the errors cascade until the server has to reset. I've made some test maps for this and when I lowered view distance of the monsters the map was rock solid, but raise it above 800-1000 UU and it became buggy and crashy. I plan on really looking at this and if it is the trouble, then I'll mod the MH to lock a specific view distance in that can't be extended.

Well if that's the case sounds like that shouldn't be to difficult a fix.

You would think so.

Only way to fix it would be to edit every map that has it. Since using a mutator will not work because maps override mutator settings.

nope, you can just make a mutator that looks at every monsters viewdistance and then set it to a configurable value and test it to see where the threshols is, you just need the mutator to replacen the monsters with a new set of monsters that are duplicates of their parent class, but with one default setting different = ViewDistance (or whatever it's called in the properties).

If it turns out that the viewdistance is the cause of the buggy MH maps, then I would be happy to cook something when i get the time.

Gopostal, do you see a pattern on specific monsters or is it just monsters in general?

It's a bit more involved than even that or I'd have already fixed it. If you take a look at the MH source code you'll see a modifier in the main uc:

Code:
function SetPawnDifficulty( int Diff, ScriptedPawn S )
{
   local int DiffScale;

   switch (Diff)
   {
      case 0:
         DiffScale = 80;
         break;
      case 1:
         DiffScale = 90;
         break;
      case 2:
         DiffScale = 100;
         break;
      case 3:
         DiffScale = 110;
         break;
      case 4:
         DiffScale = 120;
         break;
      case 5:
         DiffScale = 130;
         break;
      case 6:
         DiffScale = 140;
         break;
      case 7:
         DiffScale = 150;
         break;
   }
   S.Health = (S.Health * DiffScale) / 100;
-->   S.SightRadius = (S.SightRadius * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.Aggressiveness = (S.Aggressiveness * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.ReFireRate = (S.ReFireRate * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.CombatStyle = (S.CombatStyle * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.ProjectileSpeed = (S.ProjectileSpeed * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.GroundSpeed = (S.GroundSpeed * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.AirSpeed = (S.AirSpeed * DiffScale) / 100;
   S.WaterSpeed = (S.WaterSpeed * DiffScale) / 100;

   if (S.IsA('Brute'))
      Brute(S).WhipDamage = (Brute(S).WhipDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Gasbag'))
      Gasbag(S).PunchDamage = (Gasbag(S).PunchDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Titan'))
      Titan(S).PunchDamage = (Titan(S).PunchDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Krall'))
      Krall(S).StrikeDamage = (Krall(S).StrikeDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Manta'))
      Manta(S).StingDamage = (Manta(S).StingDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Mercenary'))
      Mercenary(S).PunchDamage = (Mercenary(S).PunchDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Skaarj'))
      Skaarj(S).ClawDamage = (Skaarj(S).ClawDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Pupae'))
      Pupae(S).BiteDamage = (Pupae(S).BiteDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Queen'))
      Queen(S).ClawDamage = (Queen(S).ClawDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Slith'))
      Slith(S).ClawDamage = (Slith(S).ClawDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   if (S.IsA('Warlord'))
      Warlord(S).StrikeDamage = (Warlord(S).StrikeDamage * DiffScale) / 100;
   
   if (S.Shadow == None)
      S.Shadow = Spawn(class'MonsterShadow', S);
}


See the arrow? That's yet another problem. When the difficulty gets set higher, the view distance is higher. This prevents a "Hard code". I tried. I even attempted to alter the MH to remove this but some maps stopped working. I'm wide open to suggestions on dealing with this short of a MH rewrite.

Well, answering pers question:

I like planetmonsterhunt servers. They have many maps and also TMH mod. You should join also MHM servers. You'll find there plenty of good maps; on MHM2 you can also play some deathmatch, but right now it's offline.

Schlong's servers (HOF) are really good, he also has a deathmatch server which is really nice.

You'll find them all on your MonsterHunt tab on UT.

Saludos!
