I have been finding the server in a hung state often lately. I am thinking it has to do with a custom map in particular. I am going to remove them from the rotation.

Here is the new rotation

cs_office
de_dust
de_aztec
de_cbble
de_chateau
de_dust2
de_piranesi
cs_havana
cs_italy
de_prodigy

Other maps loaded on the server. (Admins will need to change to these manually)
cs_assault
cs_docks_djfinal
cs_mansion
cs_twilight
de_inferno_s_v2
de_rats_2004_crzy
de_speedball_b2

Let me know if you have recomendations.......

Maybe we should try putting them back in one at a time and see if we can figure out which one hangs. I never noticed any problems and the custom maps were in the rotation for at least a week.

not only was the server hanging every other day but the server emptied when these custom maps were being played.

Whenever I'm playing it's just the opposite - the server fills when custom maps are on. You have to give it a few minutes for people to download. Check the map stats (http://csgamezone.xgs-rules.com/maplist.php), custom maps have had quite a bit of activity.

I changed the map rotation a few minutes ago and am going to watch it today to see if any map hangs. I dropped some of the crap maps and actually doubled up some of the more popular maps to help keep the server full:

de_dust
de_dust2
de_inferno
de_aztec
cs_assault
de_cbble
cs_office
de_dust
cs_docks_djfinal
de_dust2
cs_mansion
cs_italy
de_speedball_b2
de_aztec
de_prodigy

Edit 1/2/05 - de_dust2 was hanging after playing cs_twilight. I took cs_twilight out of the rotation.

I made a few more changes. Look for the new map rotation to be posted here (http://www.csgamezone.com/showthread.php?t=241) later tonight.
