Duplicated Mission Placed Buildings?

[Drythe]

So I have alot of custom stuff on my server, to include custom trader cities, added towns, bases etc.... Soem of which are added via mission editor, then placed in a SQF, and then executed in my init.sqf.

 

Ever since 1.0.2.4 update, all my buildings have been duped approximately 5 times....consiering I have tons of cicites and bases added....now it is X5 - you can see my issue here.

 

How I discovered it was I opened a gate to one of my custom added cities...and it opened, but another was in it's place closed.  This continued 4 more times -_-

 

Has anyone else noticed this, and/or have a way to fix it....I'm not sure where to start.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

I have verified the sqf is only executed once in my init.sqf for each added city. Nothing out of the ordinary in log files.

Are you loading your objects in the init.sqf on the Server only? If each player that connects runs the line of code to load the object.sqf files That will be one more of each building on the map

if (isServer) then {
 Run your building sqf files.
};.

Adding the building sqf files should also be performed fairly close to the  top of the init.sqf to ensure all buildings are created server side before any AI are created. All the processInitCommands should be removed and replaced with one processInitCommands at the end of the init.sqf file. Any processInitCommands in other additions for AI to your server should be left alone.

im having this problem somewhat, i think its when it writes it to the db, then after restart it shows up, mine only does 1 extra copy tho

I'm also having this problem. I'll look into moving the extras I've added at the end of the init.sqf further up the file.

[mimic]

Made no difference. Has anyone dealt with this and fixed it?

Are the objects in the database ?

[mimic]

I don't think so. I have looked for duplicate entries in the database, but can't find any.

 

I might try wiping the database, re-importing the stock database from the install files, and then import only the character data, and the object data tables and see what happens.

If you are running the building script from init.sqf and not just on the server every player joining may be re running the script..

As funkfest pointed out :)

[mimic]

Nope, building files are in my dayz_server.pbo not in my mission.pbo.

 

That screenshot taken was when it was a fresh restart on the server, locked, and I was the only one on. Regardless of whether I have 1 or 10 people on it's only showing two copies. I have also commented out the addition of extra buildings to see if that was causing it. That didn't remove the duplicates.

 

I'm running the following mods:

• SargeAI 1.5.3

• Misssion System (server side mod)

• Refuel

• Animated Heli Crashes (server side mod)

• Custom Debug

[axeman]

Let's see some code please..

[mimic]

If you want I can give you remote access to my server to check out whatever you want?

 

I've scanned through the RPT file and found no error's to any of the addon scripts I'm using.

This sounds so familiar with when i forgot to add what FunkFest said in his post:

if (isServer) then {

};

If that doesn't help you... Well, i don't know.

You're not loading your buildings from both init.sqf and server_functions.sqf are you?

[axeman]

Would love to know where the idea of using server_functions.sqf came from :)

[mimic]

I am calling server_functions.sqf to load some custom buildings, yes.

 

This is at the bottom of my compiles.sqf file.

//Server Only
	if (isServer) then {
		call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\init\server_functions.sqf";
	} else {
		eh_localCleanup = {};
	};

This is at the bottom of my server_functions.sqf file.

    //Balota Airfield Camp
    call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "z\addons\dayz_server\buildingsepo\epochbalota.sqf";
    //West Kamenka Enhanced
    call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildingsepo\epochkamenka.sqf";
    //Cherno Military Camp
    call compile preProcessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\buildingsepo\epochcherno.sqf";

Followed a tutorial for adding some custom buildings onto Chernarus.

Followed the ones for the Epoch only buildings.

Has anyone managed to fix this ? I am on Epoch 1.0.5.1 and I run custom buildings using the server_functions method. It appears to be only trader city buildings that are doubled up though !
