Module Loading Issues

[Dragonsbane777]

Been using NWNx for some time now . . . always worked well

Some background - server specs:
Dell Poweredge 2900
Xeon dual core 1.6 GH
2 GB RAM
2 RAID 0 HD (10k each speed)

Used the server to run with success:
- 100 MB NWN1 mod and 100 MB NWN2 mod at the same time
- 250 MB NWN2 mod and another 250 MB NWN2 mod

Now, lately it has failed on two things . . .
First it failed on running our PW mod (600 MB at the time) and an event mod with generic areas (1.2 GB) - same symptom, all scripts and transitions suddenly fail on both mods, nothing works . . .

Second, and more importantly, now our NWN2 PW is 900 MB - if I just run NWNServer it loads . . . but, when using NWNX4, it tries to load, hangs with the timer at 2 seconds . . . and then crashes after about 30-60 seconds

I did just add HCR and such, has a database, but ran fine with it at first . . then I added some areas, and boom, this problem

Any ideas on what it is? For me, we use NWNX4 mainly to keep the server running . . . I hate reseting it daily, since I try to keep loot and such down on the module, although it rarely crashes (usually only after 50-100 hours)

Help!

Thanks, Dragonsbane777

I am not sure what would cause the problem in NWN1. It does not sound NWNX releated to me. You could use the NWNX Profiler to find out what is going on.

About your NWN2 issue: What does the crash look like ? Error message ? Log files ? Have you tried to disable the gamespy watchdog ?

Tried to disbale GS, no luck there . .

No error message, other that it saying "client is disconect from server, restarting in 30 seconds . . "

Where do I look for the log? (sorry for n00b questions)

If you get the "restarting..." message from NWNX, you haven't disabled the gamespy watchdog, btw.

The logfiles are in the same folder as your nwnx4 executeables are.

Im getting the same crash, the server crahs randomly on any script this hapenned when I added new zones 1 week ago I tried everything and checker the logs, there is nothing everything run fine then bam, the server crash every 5 to 20 minutes.

I dont know if its related to nwnx4 but im totaly desesperate. my module is 649 mb.

if tryed everything but the server crash all the time all my players left

its a memory error when the server crash could not be alocated, tryed it on another computer and did the same. Sometime I get a c++ error wich is not percieved by nwnx4 so the server is not restarted.

any clue ?

It can be difficult to pinpoint a crash issue like this. I guess I would go back to the point where your module still worked, and then re-add the new stuff step by step.
