Gmap f***ed up
 

Strangest thing I've ever experienced with gmaps. I know they can act like a piece of s***, but this seriously sucks. On this gmap we are having, in only some levels clientside events don't seem to be called properly. The problem I'm having is inside an onPlayerEnters() event, so I only tried it with that stuff.

Problem: this only gets called once; either when the level is updated by a staff member, or when the player reconnects. After that, it's never ever called again. This problem occurs with both level npcs and joined classes; this destroys heaps of stuff on that gmap for no apparent reason. I tried a crapload of stuff. I reduced the level to nothing (no scripts except one with debug output called in onPlayerEnters()), I copied over another level; nothing worked. And it only happens to some levels on the particular gmap, not even all of them.

This is seriously pissing me off. Can anybody offer any help?

It works for me =o [on Era iPhone]...

not talking about iphone! ;)

Same stuff though, as in onPlayerEnters lol

You are aware though- that gmap levels count for 3x3. Does it work from inside to outside (i.e. inside not gmap to outside gmap)

No idea what you're talking about. One more thing I noticed, though, is that when I enter the gmap from our main gmap (overworld) it triggers onPlayerEnters() in the debug NPC I've left in one of the levels and spits out my debug output.

Leaving from an inside level (that isn't a gmap) to the outside level (which is on the gmap)

That does, indeed, work. Got any more information on that "problem"?

Client version?

Are the levels also linked appropriately?

Tested with v5 and v6, happens on both. Yes, they are.

Isn't gmaps made so that the client believes a bunch of levels is actually one big?

It works like that serverside. Clientside it's more complicated.

Are you sure?

Yes.

"arent gmaps made" and i think so

Good thing you're here to save the day with your incorrect correction, along with the other grammar and punctuation problems in your post.

clientside, the onPlayerEnters() is called for every level the player enters inside the gmap, a key factor in my music system so it works with wNPCs, I have a class I join to several gmap NPCs and it calls onPlayerEnters() fine too clientside, I guess get with Stefan to find out what is happening (or not happening).

Tried restarting the server?

npcserver: yes, gserver: no (only you can do that)

I swear Graal in general reminds me of Windows 9x/ME.

I was able to reset the my GServer the other day, I believe stefan fixed it. Just try /global servercontrol restart.

with /global servercontrol this restart

Since Atlantis is a (hidden) classic server I would guess that they don't have the 'owner' account that would allow them to restart it, unless you changed this somehow to work based on server rights.

Stefan, could you please do that for us? Thanks! ;)

Just as mentioned, only you can do it, Stefan. I'd like you to do it anyway, since you released a GServer update since the last restart of Atlantis. Pretty please? ^^
