    • Save file problems

      So the save.txt file that contains all of your money wages jobs etc keeps resetting and its becoming a big problem.

      I really have no idea what is causing this. First it was ddos now we've got save bugs. Oh hl2dm..

      All i know is the save file is pretty big and the way the resets happen is the server crashes suddenly then the file gets bugged.

      Basicly we have the option of resting the save file and all the doors etc (the last reset was almost a year ago i think) and see if that helps at all, or we can continue with the current save hoping it wont corrupt and ill do nightly backups along with working out whats exactly causing it.

      EasSidezz might have some insight into whats going on so im going to msg him about this or if you could post here Eas thatd be cool too.

      We could also move to a new map and reset though i dont know of any maps that are really that good these days.

      Id like to hear the communitys input on the situation first before i do anything and to hold a poll later in the week.

      Im real sorry about all the bugs that have been going on lately ill do my best to make sure things are running smoothly again.

      in the meantime ill continue with doing backups every night and monitoring the server, for you guys i would say its a good idea to take some screenshots of your bank and wage incase anything bad goes down.

      Better safe than sorry.

      I can obviously only speak for myself, but I would welcome a complete reset. Would this not continue to happen on a reset server? or do we have reason to believe that it would be less likely.

      I still like the map, and it would feel like new if all the good houses weren't owned by people who only come online once a month.

      I hope the server stabilizes, in any case.

      2. Im fine with a full reset. ( Let us keep wages maybe? )

      3. Please stop this lag -_-.

      Great how I mentioned secret_city in a post, Halflife acknowledged it, and then reposted it as this great map that he discovered and tested.

      Either way, I second secret_city_summer

      The problem with RP maps is that there are a lot of cool ones that seem to have been broken by the Orange Box update. There are a lot of mixing textures and crash points on the maps.

      If were going to do a reset just do a full reset, I get it people don't like losing there wage and shit but come on, we haven't done a full reset for about a year so don't complain full resets use to always happen every time we changed maps.
      Butts.

      Will Cop list stay the same? Cop Rank stay the same, with somewhat close XP? (I am almost sure it is a no, and a reset. If it is a yes, I would reccomend reseting Cop XP.)

      For some reason the map went back to freemancity and the doors are still their, not sold but not buyable. (They still have the door titles.)


      Map is back to abuse.

      Is the server currently being hosted on nix or windows?? If it is nix I can write a really nifty automated backup and srcds relaunch script until you can figure out how to save to a database vs using key values.. this would help prevent the corruption caused by reading and writing to the key file as the server crashes. If it is windows I can still look into creating something.. maybe in perl or something... lemme know.
