Title: No crystal spawns on private MB server
Post by: Karosh_Steinkatz on April 10, 2004, 07:56:44 pm

I compiled  the MB server under linux and it runs perfectly.
BUT:
Not a single ruby appears on a spawn point. I tweaked the db to run with the normal levels  instead of the podium  map. I thought I misconfigured something  and reverted everything to default. But still no spawning  occurs, although the server console says \"Scheduled hidden crystal 1000 to be spawned in xx seconds\" on startup. I checked the server sources if there is something disabled or buggy, but they seem to be ok. So I think it\'s the db. Has someone else created a private server and can tell me  what to do to get it working?

BTW: When I drop an item it\'s stuck in the ground. I think it\'s dropped 1 unit too low. Is  this a bug?

Try jumping and dropping it. Can you pick it up then? :o
Maybe the crystals are spawning under the ground if your items are getting dropped lower.

Nope,  that\'s not it. The spawn locations are correct.  I pushed them  up already,  but it\'s the same, still no crystals around.

Do they spawn instantly on first start up or do you have to wait for them?

They are not spawning  at all...  On server startup, before I load the maps, there is the line \"Scheduled hidden crystal 1000 to be spawned in xx seconds\", which means that the spawnmanager wants to spawn a ruby next in xx seconds. But later  no \"Creating crystal 1000 in x y z\" (not sure about the exact message atm) appears. I tried to load the maps and get the server ready before the time for the first spawn is over, but with no result.

Try manually adding a spawn with a command and see if it works.

I added  spawn points with the /crystal command and directly in the db,  both with the same results as before: nothing :P

I\'ll get something to eat now, then I will add some  debugging code to the sources... maybe I can see where it hangs *sigh*

Can you make gcc do a strict compile?

Karosh: Send me your pserver, because when you sent me your binaries, pserver was lacking... :{ I have the mysql stuff already compiled and instelled.

Ok, I tracked the problem down to psSpawnManager::HandleMessage, which isn\'t called for some  reason... So it\'s no   wonder that the spawn queue can\'t proceed :P
I like it to dig through source code *sigh*

Do you want the source or the  binary, psybur?
edit: i sent you a  pm  with a  link  to the binary
