Peoples Buildings Remove after Restart

[deannreid]

Every time someone builds a base gets cars ect. after a restart they all reset but gear stays the same, I noticed that peoples gear is saved to SQL, and that I believe buildings and Cars are saved to the Cache Folder, Is there a way to save vehicle and building locations to SQL along with the gear?? Thanks.

This is more of a question, but could also be seen as a bug,

I'm also having this issue, whenever I restart the server all the vehicles respawn in a random location and all players buildings are gone, it's rather annoying.

[denisio]

Do you update all files from github?

Please do not forget that the production server must run by "restarter.pl"

[deannreid]

I have not updated the files from 2 days ago, The last Update I downloaded was initial release of 1.0.3.1, I've downloaded the most recent files and I'm now adding the addons now but its still not been tested, is that the reason?

[denisio]

Last update fix the diag_log limit.

I can verify the installation if you give me the ssh access.

[deannreid]

Sorry, I don't own the server so I'm not aloud to give out SSH Access, is there a file I could upload that would verify it?

[denisio]

Just update it: https://raw.github.com/denisio/Dayz-Epoch-Linux-Server/master/writer.pl https://github.com/denisio/Dayz-Epoch-Linux-Server/raw/master/%40dayz_epoch_server/addons/dayz_server.pbo

[deannreid]

Will check it out, Thanks

I hear that in the HiveExt.ini there would be this, and I believe the second line of this is our problem:

;Negative values will disable this feature ;0 means that ALL empty placed items will be deleted every server restart ;A positive number is how old (in days) a placed empty item must be, in order for it to be deleted ;CleanupPlacedAfterDays = 6

One problem, I don't think Hive addon is available for Linux. Any solutions?

[denisio]

ALL completely damaged items will be deleted every server restart (by writer.pl).

[deannreid]

That's the problem though, unless everything is damaged and I mean everything buildings, cars, safes pretty much the whole map resets people spawn where they left with their gear, but half the time that resets too!

[deannreid]

How do you disable damage cleanup on restart in the writer.pl file?

[denisio]

Please, send me "dump.log" on email: denisio.bro@gmail.com

I think that you have corrupted inventory of some object (fixed now). For example "dump.log":

1:04:12 "HIVE: Starting"
1:04:12 "HIVE: Local Time set to [2012,6,6,1,3]"
1:04:12 "LOAD OBJECTS"
1:04:12 Error in expression R],[1]],[[ItemFuelBarrel,ItemJerrycan,20Rnd_762x51_DMR],[2,4,8]],[[],[]]],[],1.0
1:04:12   Error position: Rnd_762x51_DMR],[2,4,8]],[[],[]]],[],1.0
1:04:12   Error Missing ]
1:04:13 "FOUND  OBJECTS"  - trouble marker! No vehicles will be spawned...

You need find and reset it: 1) select ObjectId, Inventory from Object_DATA where Inventory like '%Rnd_762x51_DMR],[2,4,8]],[[],[]]],[],1.0%'; 2) update Object_DATA set Inventory='[]' where ObjectId=badobjectid; 3) restarter.pl

[deannreid]

That is what I was getting, The map seems to have stopped resetting, for the time being, but one or two peoples inventory's got reset, but not others, I'm going to be trying a few more restarts today to see what happens, and I will get back to you!

[deannreid]

Seems to be working fine now! I think it was due to the account not having enough sql permissions, its currently using the root user just now, Would you perhaps be able to suggest an auto restarter that includes periodic warnings because the one I found that uses BEC only works on Windows as far as I know

[denisio]

1) You need to use crontab (for example, restart each 4 hours): $ echo $HOME $ crontab -e 0 /4 * * \ /home/your_ssh_login/epoch/restarter.pl 2) Check it: $ crontab -l 3) Edit "restarter.pl": use constant PATH => '/home/your_ssh_login/epoch/';

The periodic warning is set by custom debug monitor (show time left until restart): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOyIqBmtmek http://8bit.info/dayz/dayz_monitor.png

[deannreid]

Thanks I'll get this setup today :)

[deannreid]

Hello, We seem to be having the problem again where the server doesn't read the database everything been working perfect apart from a few inventory's being reset but I've been able to fix those, Our problem only just happened again today where The server doesn't read what is in the "Object_DATA" I'm looking in there and I'm seeing all the items that people have built e.g. Wooden Walls, Cinder walls, their vehicles ect yet the server reads their inventory's fine, I deleted and re-uploaded the Cache folder and it still reads their inventory's, but not anything world side, I have tried deleting and re-uploading the database, placing a few items and restarting and it reads those fine! but when I re-uploaded the old database nothing appears except inventory's , Do you know what is causing this at all, I'm stumped on the reasoning and cant find a cause to the problem

Here is a pastebin of the Dump.log http://pastebin.com/RVphmuAt

[deannreid]

Update: I have fixed the fact that buildings wont show up, they do now, but I had to remove every spawned in vehicle on the map, do you know of any limitation of SQL that could mean that it gets too big and stops being able to the database properly?

Thanks

[denisio]

You have a lot of script errors in dump.log (z\addons\dayz_server). Do you modified "@dayz_epoch_server/addons/dayz_server.pbo" ? Please, use the original file.

[deannreid]

Yeah, We have custom buildings, and I have DZAI installed,

[denisio]

Please, use the original file. I don't support any changes.

[JPPWeber]

You should always start with a vanilla one. If you have tons of third party scripts, no one can help you in a fast way. First get a stable server, then make a backup and then start to modify. Or setup two servers, a live / public one and a passworded dev server. The second method works like a charm ;)

[deannreid]

We figured out what was happening, Still waiting for the db to grow since I cleared most unused bases, but hopefully we fixed it :)

[JPPWeber]

You might tell us, what you have fixed?

[deannreid]

sorry, we fixed the map wiping on restart, I believe, still waiting a bit to make sure its gone for good.

[jprice-da15252]

I think you misunderstood what JPPWeber was asking. What did you find the root cause of the issue to be, and how did you fix that? There are others that may run into the same problem, myself included. Thanks :)

[deannreid]

Sorry, @denisio found out the problem was one of the rows in the table had the wrong hit-points, which appeared to be the cause

Hey, I have a problem with the Cronjob, I set the correct path to the restarter.pl but I get the error "can't found server binary" any idea for a fix? :)

[deannreid]

make sure you do cd / && {LOCATION OF RESTARTER} and that should work

Mine is like this

cd / && /home/dayzservers/epochpanthera/restarter.pl just change your dir path and all should work :)

[b-A-shi]

thank you, i think the cronjob works. i editet the restarter.pl like this "/home/dayz/epoch/" but i get every time the same error message..

[deannreid]

is that your exact location? also does this happen when you do it manually, also, what user do you run it through?

[b-A-shi]

If I use the untouched restarter.pl and start it manual it works, if I modify it with the correct path and start manually it's the same error. If I use the untouched cia cron its the same error :(

[deannreid]

Try making your cron job cd /home/dayz/epoch && ./restarter.pl

[deannreid]

sorry remove ,/ and also in the restarter.pl make sure the location is just / and run the cron as root if possible,

[b-A-shi]

i got it, i set the direct path in the restarer.pl an the cron is this "sudo /home/dayz/epoch/restarter.pl" thanks a lot dean!

[deannreid]

No problem :-)
