Defining gridmode = false in Halcyon.ini seems to treat it as true #440

Closed To-mos closed 6 years ago

To-mos commented 6 years ago

I was having trouble getting my server to boot under standalone mode, below [Startup] I had uncommented the ;gridmode = false line assuming grid mode would be off. After I did, I kept getting no default region available when an avatar would try and connect. Changing it to gridmode = true would result in the same error message. The only way I fixed it was commenting the line back out. This does not seem like the desired behavior.

I just checked, the default is false, so commenting it out or leaving it in as gridmode = false should be the same.

We run with gridmode = true everywhere I know, including my home test server, but the requirements are more complex in grid mode: you must run User, Grid and Messaging "central grid services", in that order, prior to starting the actual Halcyon.exe region server.

The error above means that the user record's home region coordinates are not valid (or the region is down, or the region has not communicated with the grid service to notify it's up, or the Grid service isn't running).

If the Grid service is up (and I assume it is since it seems like User is up and responding with this error), then check your database users records for a user account that matches what you're logging in with, and check the homeRegion column for their home region handle. Typically that is 1099511628032000 which in hexadecimal is 3E8000003E800, which corresponds to the grid map location 1000,1000. Is your region up and running, with those coordinates (default welcome region coordinates)?

@To-mos It almost seems like you haven't defined any regions in the bin/Regions folder.

@appurist My region is up and running and the users database does indeed contain 1099511628032000 in their homeRegion column. @kf6kjg I’m wanting to run it in standalone mode with gridmode set to false. Do I still have to define a region in the folder? I was under the impression It wouldn’t look in the folder or a default one would already exist.

kf6kjg commented 6 years ago

I've not tested, but I'd expect that a region would have to be defined in order for even standalone to run.

@To-mos If this is still an issue could you re-open on the new location for Halcyon? https://github.com/HalcyonGrid/halcyon/issues

Thank you.
