Rude restarts.

Post by Elaetheus » Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:42 pm

Understanding that the server is in beta, I still would like to ask why it happens often during the day that the server becomes red password protected and consequently boots everyone. Is some test underway, or are we dealing with unintended instability ? Thanks!

Yeah those are server crashes.

We wouldn't just pull the plug without telling you. Well Spyre would but we keep the kill button away from him.

And we'd be interested in knowing what you were doing when the server crashed too.

Alright then. Mostly RPing in a party --- the crashes never happened to me alone, that is true. But that may be just the coincidence. Maybe it is the yet incomplete NWNX who cannot handle all the stuff getting thrown at it?

There have also been some strange things like a party member getting teleported across the northern tundra, from one end to another (not right before or right after the crash).

There is also this.

Seems the solution to this is to burn all witches, warlocks, and mages.

I mentioned this before this specific subforum existed, but... viewtopic.php?f=12&t=15870

Creating a warlock will crash the server every time

Yes this has been fixed, not sure if its on the live server though. We are trying to eliminate all those nasty server crashes, its mostly due to updating the NWNX codebase and things are working slightly different in some of the functions than previously.

Okay we're rudely crashing it now (sorry). (Timestamp: 7:30 EST) Hopefully done soon.

I wasn’t involved this time near the end.

However, summons should always have the playertool 1 option. If you use it on the summon, you will be able to control its location and such and what it targets. It’s your tool to use to have complete control over your summon.
