Weapon is deleting itself after i add it.

If you have destroy(); in the server-side portion of a WNPC it will delete itself unless you're destroying another object created by putnpc2 or so.

looks like you're right! i wouldntve guessed that a server-side destroy would do that. Thanks

Logically it should :P I think DB-NPCs are protected from this though.

Sort of. I accidentally deleted most of Testbed's DB NPCs once when trying to clear out a bunch of putnpc2's in the start level. "protectdbnpcs" had accidently been left at "false" instead of "true" .

Though, "destroy" should really be disabled for weapons. There's no use for it except for malicious scripters. Especially since Stefan doesn't make daily, weekly, or even monthly backups anymore, a LAT could delete every weapon on the server.

Why cant we just get an RC command that only the owner and/or the manager can use? like /createserverbackup and /restoreserverbackup or something.

That would be nice... but still, it makes no sense for daily/weekly/monthly backups to be removed. It is beyond stupid.

I agree completely. The last backup Stefan has for Era is in mid April. If some malicious scripter or even LAT were to delete all the scripts/levels, we'd be completely ****ed.
