Locked Vehicles sometimes spawn after Restart only

[jahangir13]

Hi Guys,

 

does anybody else have the problem that vehicles bought at a trader (or locked vehicles spawed via an ingame admin tool) sometimes do not spawn directly?

After a server restart the vehicles then are there. While buying/spawning these I see the red arrow pointing to where they will/should spawn very very shortly and nothing happens. This is not the case all the time...sometimes they directly spawn and then I see the red arrow for a longer time and the vehicle appears but very often only after a restart.

If anybody else does have this and maybe also a solution please let me know.

 

EDIT: That is the message I get in the dump.log:

 

14:55:48 "EPOCH SERVERTRADE: Player: [666] jahan (95996806) bought a SUV_Charcoal in/at Klen for 2x ItemGoldBar10oz"

What admin tool are you using? 

[Turtle]

Same problem man. I have no idea how to fix it. 
But, recently I've realized how shitty my ingame performance on my own server is compared to others, so I did a little testing and found out its my mission files that are causing it. Today I will try and zero in on exactly what it is that is causing my problems. I feel confident that if I find it my vehicle problem should also go away. 

My question is what scripts are you running? 

[jahangir13]

I am running a lot of script actually...but that problem I recognized from the first minute I had a fresh install of the linux server. Installed the server, went to a trader and sometimes cars appear at the trader sometimes not.

First I thought it's related to the classname of the car...but after trying a bit the same cars sometimes spawed.

For whatever reason I DO NOT have any issues with spawning a Temp Vehicle (without a key). So these vehicles always spawn correctly and directly.

 

(It's the admin tool here: (by Gregarious).

 

@Triage: does your questions mean that you never had an issue with this?

[jahangir13]

Ok, as often the problem lies between the ears ;)

I guess some time ago I've updated the WAI to a newer version and with that custom_publishVehicle.sqf was copied over which prevented Vehicles to spawn correctly.

I downloaded the Devd file again from Githib and now it's working again.

 

So issue solved again as it seems.

[Turtle]

where is the file located?

[jahangir13]

dayz_server/WAI/mission/compiles

 

I don't know if that is also your issue here. First I thought it's related to my degug monitor.

Did you update the WAI to a newer version on your server?

[Turtle]

No, I have the old version

[jahangir13]

It's still the same. I think this afternoon I was just lucky while testing this.

20:45:39 "CUSTOM: failed to get id for : "11455511341202126""

 

But as I said before...that happens only sometimes. The next 10 bought verhicles did spawn.

I have still no idea why the cache file cannot be found properly.

I created a while loop around the part in publish_vehicles2.sqf to give it the chance to try again.

On the file system the file is there:

-rw-r--r-- 1 dayzepoch users 14 Apr 19 17:01 cache/objects/1145551134120785.sqf

I thought maybe it takes a bit until it's available but it has been created at 17:01 but the dump.log shows that server_publishVehicles2.sqf does not find it still at 17:03.

 

It is always the first car I buy which does not work. The next one I buy spawns.

17:01:34 "CHILD:308:11:SUV_Blue:0:3705:[7,[11455.5,11341.2,0]]:[]:[]:1:1145551134120617:"

17:01:34 "LOAD OBJECT ID: cache\objects\1145551134120617.sqf"
17:01:34 "OBJECT ID CACHE: ["PASS","673"]"

What could be the reason here? Any idea?

[Turtle]

I've got the fix for this problem guys:

[jahangir13]

That did not help for me when I saw your post there.

As I've mentioned....the file cannot be found for some reason (the cache file). So I don't think that deleting the vehicle could be the reason.

It's not appearing for a short time and then disappearing.

[Turtle]

My suggestion is do a fresh install of your pbo's then install all your scripts again 1 by 1. Because there is a good possibility that is script related. 

[jahangir13]

Maybe I've fixed it now (maybe as it does not always happen which makes it difficult to test ;) ).

 

I changed the preprocessFile function in server_ublishverhicles2.sqf to loadFile as I've read that preprocessFunction should not be used in time critical tasks (even if I think that the one line in this file should be irrelevant).

And I send a message to the client when server cleanup is finished and from then cars should be bought at traders again. I think that the server handles too many things directly after a restart and I always tested buying cars shortly after a restart. Did not have any problems again since then, hm.
