hosting – How to Choose the Best Dedicated Servers and Virtual Private Servers

I figured this one out.

I modified my start script from this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -xe

cd ~killingfloor/killingfloor/System
./ucc-bin server \
    KF-bioticslab.rom?game=KFmod.KFGameType?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6 \
    -nohomedir \
    -ini=killingfloor.ini

to this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -xe

cd ~killingfloor/killingfloor/System
./ucc-bin server \
    KFO-Steamland.rom?game=KFO.MOD?VACSecured=true?MaxPlayers=6 \
    -nohomedir \
    -ini=killingfloor.ini

i.e. change game=KFmod.KFGameType to game=KFO.MOD and the map from KF-bioticslab.rom to KFO-Steamland.rom (or some other objective map)

Well, from the log you have a bad navigation mesh on the map.

Try a different map.

As of how to kill a running server, just open another console to your Linux server and kill the program from there. I recommend always keeping an HTOP monitor to a Linux computer open, because it can be invaluable for doing these things as well as detecting out of control processes.

As of how to kill the server properly run the following kill signals 30 seconds apart (using killall or any system utility capable of sending a kill signal) SIGTERM, SIGKILL. This will give the server a chance to shut down if it can.

HTOP is usually not installed by default on most servers, but you can easily install it with the package manager. It works nicely when interfaced to a terminal emulator like PuTTY or just SSH in a Linux or Mac Terminal window.
