I figured something out, its my fault the server is down right now...Rokani teleported to the ruins and saw 3 ulbernauts trapped in the hole that leads to a stairway leading down somewhere...I was the one that lead them there since me and a few of my guild members were killing bandits and didn\'t need an ulber annoying us, then she went to try and kill them but couldn\'t, so she teleported ME down in that hole, then I got killed and went to DR
Since I was playing with the sound on, it caused me to crash...So then the server \"stopped responding\" at that moment, so clearly most of these server crashes have been because of GM\'s messing around with their powers, not because the server is screwing up...
Yes, flame me, I don\'t care, its just a thought...
EDIT: Also I guess it\'ll get the Ulbernauts back to spawn point, just another thought :P
-
The latter reason might be a better one for the server going down ... just a thought though :P
-
Nah, not at a time like that...It had to be the work of a GM, it would explain why it crashes every time the monster AI goes down, I know its for debugging purposes but Rokani didn\'t have to kill me in the process :/
-
A GM abusing a player? How _____ .
This thread has 5 minutes to live.
-
Actually I found it a rather humorous \'punishment\'. Of course not very funny for the one being punished but hey it could have been a whole lot worse for messing up the system. Since nobody is gonna kill 3 ulbers in a hole.
-
it could be some new gladiator type sport, how long can you survive in a hole along with a ulber or two....
where only the strongest of the strongst survive!
-
/me thinks that you deserved the punishement for getting those poor creatures stuck there.
Did you think that you are blocking others to try and kill them?
Someone might go there to hunt ulbers and finds them all stuck in a hole.
The survivability chance against 1 ulber is about 0.3%, you can do the math for 3 or 4 ulbers...
/me sighs
Next time try to get them stuck behind a wall because getting them stuck in a hole that they can\'t climb out is a buit wrong. Also i hunted bandits and brigands there but no ulber chased me. Hunting doesn\'t mean runiing all over the place.

whoi is rokani and how doth he teleport?

Wow, GM\'s abusing their powers!?!?! Never! What a revelation!...
Seriously though, I dont think there is a bug in the GM actions that causes the server to crash, though one of them could test this to find out for sure. If there was a bug, I think they would have realised it by now.
-
Well guys, be thankful the GUILD KNIGHTS *cymbals* have valiantly put the ulbies out of their misery.. hopefully no one will put em down there now.
You know, there were like 4 trepors with the ulbies too. X(
Oh and yeah trying to teleport monsters does cause the server to crash.

If you will tell me the GM command for teleporting a monster i\'ll give you 1000 trias. There is no command for that ;)

Actually I only lured one down there, the other 2 were there at the beginning

Rokani is a Dark-green leveled GM, I believe \"Peacekeeper\" as you call it, shes a Fenki BTW...She might have logged in there, I don\'t know, but I know her powers are real...just never knew Peacekeepers could teleport, always thought it was the Gold leveled ones :/
-
Peacekeepers can teleport, I got teleported by one once :P
And sure you can teleport monsters, I\'m guessing it\'s the same thing used to teleport players with the monster ID or something. They can teleport players so why not monsters. Anyway, I know for a fact GMs can teleport monsters, unless Cereja was lying..
Actually I don\'t see the command for teleporting players, except the GM O_o
-
For trying /teleport Ulbernaut DR01 you get the message \"Ulbernaut is not a valid player name\"...
So... I don\'t think you can do that... not even slide works with monsters :P
-
Not sure where you are getting that from, Eolius, but you know nothing about GM commands :)
Gm\'s don\'t abuse powers to mess with the server- what would be the point? GM\'s and devs use their powers to make the game for players.
The players guide lists some GM powers, but it has not been updated lately, nad obviously does not list everything. And the the top devs can just log in to the server and do pretty much anything they want. Be sure to thank them the next time they restart the NPCclient :)

Of course thats not going to work, because there is no player or NPC called ulbernaut. Think about it- theres more than 1 of them, they cant all be called the same thing now can they? They might be ulber_1 or npcclient_128 or something.

What would be the point? For fun? To exercise their power over other people? To gain advantages in game? To amaze other people with what they can do? Im not saying they nessecarily do, but I can think of lots of reasons why GM\'s would abuse their power. Messing up the server could (if there was a bug) be a side result of this.
-
i tryed those commands but they didn\'t work...
maybe i\'m typing it wrong?
-
These would be GM commands and im pretty sure you are not one:P
Also most likely the teleport command would work only with players and cannot teleport mobs. Ive never even seen a game you didnt have to manually move npc\'s or mob spawn points in the server files.

Yup, i think that was the problem ;)

Well, in this game you can create spawning points...
/crystal does that.
And about teleportation... \"/modify pos\" i guess.
-
Cooldewd, are not a GM you cannot use GM commads,
and to teleport NPCs we use /teleport
/modify can shift them around a bit.
/crystal i believe is for spawn items? not to sure though
