Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) /
« on: March 11, 2005, 07:54:42 am »
One trick that often works for me in similar situations is to copy the files that the updater downloads from the \'updatertemp\' subdirectory into your Planeshift install dir.

So, if you\'ve installed Planeshift into C:\\Planeshift, you\'d copy the files from C:\\Planeshift\\updatertemp to C:\\Planeshift.

The files you\'d be copying should include updater.exe as well as several .dlls

Anyway, it\'s worked for me in the past when the updater acted similar to what you\'re describing.

OK, perhaps a little more detail is in order.  It doesn\'t necessarily seem to happen only when I open the petition window (though it was for me last night).  I just (as in right now) submitted a petition and the server went linkdead.  It was right after the server was restarted to add the food items for the tavern cook.  It is possible that this is a coincidence, but it\'s happened to me several times already, and always after I\'ve either submitted a petition, or simply opened the petition window.

Perhaps it is related to the length of my posts?  The text I submitted is rather long, so I suppose it could be a buffer overrun in the server code related to petitions.  Anyway, I\'ve submitted two petitions:

  - one relating to a player not being able to ask a question in the help channel: they kept being told they couldn\'t ask another question, yet there were no active questions for them.

  - another relating to the lowest area in the old dungeon: there is currently no way to get out without dying or asking a GM for help

Anyway, I don\'t want to experiment with it too much since crashing the server may not get me too many good karma points :P

Is it just me, or does the server go linkdead every time i open the petition window?  Didn\'t find any other post about it here, so I thought I\'d throw it out there.   Seems to be very reproducable for me at least.
