A Few Problems (GM, Items DC)

[Aka Gambit]

Ok I searched and can't find anything pertaining to the problem I am having...I either am encountering a new problem, someone has not posted it, or I really suck at searching either way if someone could help, then that would be great.

First off, none of the GM commands work. I am assuming (since no one posted anything about this) that you make a character a GM by changing their nation using chumpy's GM tool. Though it does not really do anything other then saying GM in the nation section of your character info.

The other problem I am having is that a lot of items tend to disconnect you. Most of them do then when you equip, un-equip, try to drop them or move them around in your inventory. As soon as you click down, you are disconnected from the server. I had thought this was only for the items I had sent with the GM tool, and only armor etc above titanium, however now I have seen it happening with lower grade equipment too. All "one use" items SEEM to be fine but who knows, they may be next to do this. Does anyone have an idea as to what may cause this and/or how I may be able to fix it? (If this WAS posted somewhere and I just could not find it, I'd be happy if you pointed me to it) Plus to make matters worse, each time it disconnects you it gives off an error code, but each time its different so I am not sure what exactly to look for. And I looked though the logs and see a whole bunch of errors but I really don't understand them, like I kinda see what they are trying to say I think but not really, and even if I do, I don't know where the files are that would need to be checked for errors. And none of the errors I see seem to have anything to do with the disconnects anyways. Most seem to be cooldown and droprate errors.

My updated log files are here http://filebeam.com/ad26998e671707a979daf8637ac85ec2
I am using CentOS 4.7 from the "CentOS installed with cabal server" pack, upgraded to chumpy's 2.8 server pack, and am running 2 channels, ch1 is norm Halloween, and ch2 is the hardcore(x4) both files are the ones included inside the server pack.

Another few things; (figured its best to use the same post then post another topic)
I have found that a lot of items send with the GM tool are not as any item lists say they are..well they are sorry, but in game the name is "Unknown Item" and they are considered separate items. For example I tried to make a quartz core (few different types), and it appeared looking like the correct item but when I scrolled over it, its said "Unknown Item". Also I tried using the "Item Opt" to try and make it appear correctly using a various amounts of different settings, but not only did it still appear as "unknown item" but each one was classed as an entirely different item, and would not stack.
This is the same with a few items. (so far mostly crafting items)


Thanks again in advance.

1st of all do not use non retail items... they weren`t coded.
Also you didn`t search properly: there is a itemList with most of itemOpt needed for crap / quest items. also you can get them from craft.scp and quest.scp

[Aka Gambit]

Well I am using normal retail items when it disconnects, for instance a Citrine Crystal has caused a disconnect.

And I have seen lots of the "itemlist", bun none contained anything to do with the item opt, they only had the item number. Some had a few numbers after the item name but no header so it was a bit of a guessing game figuring out what any of them were and in the end it was only "item type" "equip-able?", "Equip slot", "Upgradeable?", "extendable?", so even then it had no item opt. So I'd like to know what I am supposed to be searching for as apparently "itemlist", "item options" or "itemopt" are not it since the above results are all I could find.

However before replying to what I should search for, I shall look in the ".scp"s you mentioned to see if I can find the right options myself.

Thanks again for such a quick reply.

PS: testers are now saying that a lot of the items even farmed properly are causing a disconnect.

I am using Centos 5 and V2.8 of Chumpy's repack. The same is happening for me. Moving items in inventory and most items causing d/c when mobs are dropping them.
But in the previous version 2.5, its perfect.
Or just do what I did and install CentOS x 2 on your VM. One for V2.5 and one for V2.8. Then you can check see if its your client and/or setup.

[Aka Gambit]

Ok I will try that...I am glad to see I am not the only one having this problem. Thanks for your reply.

EDIT: Thanks a bunch, that did the trick...as soon as I downgraded to 2.5 everything drops like normal and it does not disconnect anymore. Thanks for the quick fix!

[chumpywumpy]

It is true that introduced a few new d/c errors in v2.8. I did expect a few new shop/quest ones but i managed to create 2 new ones as well :(

1 is down to the data.enc, item.enc and mob.enc in the client patch. These files don't pack well with the enc packer. Using versions packed with the patch tool can work ok, but they can cause lots of very random crashes and in one case they stopped me even going to Desert Scream. The problem was so random and intermittant it didn't really show up before the release. Just replace these files with the ones from Lost-Spirit's patch and it will cure it.

The second one is in const.scp as i left a row in there that shouldn't be and it breaks the 3rd inventory window causing a DC if you try putting anything there or loot anything that tries going to that panel. Use the const.scp from v2.5 for now and tat will fix it.

The items list i use is fabby's. Check the tabs at the bottom as there is a different tab for items with itemopts. Sending yourself something with an invalid id or invalid itemopt will cause the "unknown items".

Our item lists are far from complete or perfect but i am slowly building a new one based on fabby's.

The gm commands are listed in the v2.8 config files (it will look different in 2.5). To be a true GM you must be nation 3 and also have the commands enabled in worldsvr and your IP listed in the loginsvr ini.

[Aka Gambit]

Thats what I was missing, the loginsvr ini config...I did not even look in it for some reason.
Anyways thanks again, for explaining the problem out for me, as that enables me to fix problems myself next time, normally I like to do that but if I am not even sure of the reason for the problem or what files I can safely modify to try and fix it then it poses a problem.

So thanks again. I will try what you described. Hopefully you will not have to see another help topic from me, I am sure its getting a bit annoying. lol

[chumpywumpy]

Hopefully you will not have to see another help topic from me, I am sure its getting a bit annoying. lol

I would get very bored if nobody posted problems for me to solve ;)

[Aka Gambit]

I am guessing that those are the only GM commands that you have listed there that work, and none of the "/_1" - "/_19" ones do not work? Most of them I will not use but the ignore cooldown, and call shop commands seemed like they would help in testing the server...is there a way to implement new GM commands?


EDIT: Also is there a way to remove single items from someone's inventory? I was playing around with crafting and clicked too many times when sending myself C.A. Licences (was trying to find out what option-cause its not listed-gives what licence. 0=general craft, but 1+ are the different crafts), so now they are taking up all 4 slots of my inventory, and I can not drop, sell, or put them in my warehouse XD (I tried looking in the database but every time I think I found their inventory, the cell says "<Binary Data>" and I dunno how to edit it XD.


EDIT 2: I am still getting "Unknown Item" even using that item list and the item opt it has on it. Does your CM tool not work for sending some items like crafting items?
For example:
I want a Flame Disk lvl 2 so I see "683 683 2 Flame Disc(Lv 2)" so I put in teh item code "683" with item opt "2", but I get a disk that LOOKS like a flame disk, but it reads "Unknown Item" and there are 2 of them in the stack.

EDIT 3: I tried replacing all the files you said but I still get the disconnects on v2.8

[cypher]

Topic closed because you admitted that you want to use the client testing command ignore cooldown which is a direct offence of the game further support on this subject will not be given. Clearly you just want to ruin the game by giving yourself items and cheats to be someone you never was. Grow up.

edit: reopening for the sake of my conscience, i believe that if i let this thread closed you will create a new one and i`ll ban you so ... i`ll let you rant off in here but NO CHEATING next time.. just a tip tough...

chumpywumpy noticed me about your status, i apologize for my misunderstanding.

I double post just for you to notice that i don`t blacklist people and i would like if you have any problem with any of my actions to pm me or just reply (in this case you would had to use a pm xD), i don`t mind ^^,

cypher.

[Aka Gambit]

Ok, I am glad we were able to settle this swiftly and calmly. Thank you very much for your reply and apology. I obviously accept, and I will try to be more clear next time as I realized that it may have been partly my fault for the misunderstanding.

I very much appreciate your mature attitude in this matter, and am glad that it was just a misunderstanding.

Thanks again.

@Gambit:

Did you get your item / server disconnecting problem straightened out?

[Aka Gambit]

I DID, but it came back again.
