Disappearing Safe?

[js2k6]

Hi,

I have a player on one of my servers claiming that he placed a safe and it vanished in front of his very eyes

in the next breath he is telling me he wants gear replaced.  (i'm thinking... what gear if you just placed it?... )

that's besides the point really

 

has anyone heard of this happening before? 
I've seen storage sheds disappear when their inventory line in the db gets too long. 

but never safes.

I've looked at hivext.log, and the server's rpt

 

nothing seems anomalous. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any particular set of circumstances that may cause this.

Because I'm not really buying the story.

(edit: mods... lots of mods. but have been running them for months without issue)
p4l, snap, vectors, door management, elevators, service point, group management, ess the list goes on and on.

I had a guy who couldnt see his safe .... but his friend next to him could. He re-logged in and was able to see it again.

I dont know if its the same case....But maybe you should take a look at your config.cfg settings.

Maybe he lost the 'packet' from the server that a safe was placed there.

thanks sandbird, i'll have a look.
i do from time to time get the

player without identity

and

Server: Object x:x not found (message x)
errors showing in my rpt

 

this is my basic.cfg - i run 2 overpoch servers, one popular. the other isnt. an empty altis life server and a half full wasteland a3 server on my dedicated box. sharing 100mbit connection.

any tips for improving this?

well i also get the same errors, so i am not the perfect candidate to give you advise on that.

I do know this:

serverLongitude=133;

serverLatitude=-27;

These 2 need to be correct so people get the proper ping values in the browser

 

MinBandwidth=131072;

MaxBandwidth=90000000;

These 2 are the most important....I am not sure for the proper values in your case....I got 1 Gbit/s-Port on my server and i have these values:

MinBandwidth=1097152;

MaxBandwidth=1073741824;

 

but i am not even sure mine are correct either.

Here is my whole basic.cfg

language="English";
MinBandwidth=1097152;
MaxBandwidth=1073741824;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.029999992;
MinErrorToSend=0.0019999994;

thanks again.
I used a calculator tool i found online to work out bitrate min/max values.

 

we don't often get red chain or desync. so i guess that is good.

 

and you were absolutely correct about the missing packet. he told me he can see his safe now.

Js2k6: could you please send the link to the tool?

oh cool. i love it when people share solutions to problems that they ask advise for, and see others have the same problems as well :ph34r:

:) I screwed up the enhanced vehicle script which gave me the problem of not being able to build anything. I didn't think it was related to the topic so I didn't share my secrets ;)

This happened to a player right now: Safe dissapeared right after he put itens inside it.

After restart the safe come bak again, but without the itens he had put in it.

[Sandbird]

hmmm that 'smells' like a lost packet to me.

I think the best solution is to inform the players that IF this happens...they should go back to lobby and come back...

Then if they see the safe there...then everything is fine.
