Beg1 - bots issue

[LindaCZ]

Hi

 

I noticed an issue on the Baserace map.

 

There was an issue with the bots. They kept running in circles in the same spot every now and then (even though there was nothing there). It happened either near the gate to their base or where the crates are stolen. They would keep circling there until someone killed them.

 

It wasn’t like that before. Maybe something went wrong after the Jaymod update…

 

Sorry if I should have posted this in a different topic.

I don't have direct control over beg1/jay3 maps or waypoints.

 

@daredevil is still trying to apply the upgrades to the Jaymods, but they have caused issues on other servers.

 

What map was that problem on and did it happen on any others maps?

Oh, Yeah, you did think of that.  😄

I haven’t gone through all the maps yet. I only know about this one because I’ve been at work most of the time lately.

I’ll keep an eye on the other maps over the next few days, and if I notice anything, I’ll let you know. 😄  

 

Thanks for the feedback!

I got a PM from JosifToots that he had lost XP.  I visited beg1 an hour ago while he "slept in spec" and he had 29,649 does that seem about right?

No, it doesn’t. He definitely had more XP than what you saw.

Talking with @Josif Toots looks like when he reinstalled the game he deleted his etkey accidentally, his guid in game does not match with his forum guid . Since he had to reinstall because of a server issue maybe you can give him back his xp on his new guid?

Jaymod does not have a method of giving XP, like Silent mod does.

 

In the past, when a Jaymod server problem caused loss of XP or admin levels on the Jay servers, @daredevil would restore all that database data from backups.    Those "restores" always helped a number of players and admins, not just one.  

 

Josif made the Big Mistake, not FA.  Some people are too quick to reinstall ET to fix problems and sometimes they make similar mistakes.  If people "blindly" reinstall ET on any mod, then they will have the same problem with XP.

 

By "blindly, I mean that they make simple assumptions about causes and do not search the forums.  Reporting such server-glitches is always the "first step."   

 

ADDED:  I should have asked @LindaCZ if she had lost XP, too, rather than just about Josif's.

When I get home from work, I’ll check whether I still have my XP, but everything was fine yesterday.

My XP are fine, and the other players’ XP are fine as well

@Josif Toots I had not noticed that this topic was in a public forum, or I would not have used those words.  I am apologize.

That is what I was afraid of.  IF the server had "burped" and its database had reset the records of many players & admins, THEN DareDevil could have "restored from backup".  I doubt that the Jaymod developer wrote any tools that DareDevil could use to edit the "privately-formatted" database fields.  It is not like Excel.  😄 It is "all or nothing", in that sense.  

 

Can someone provide a link to Josif about how to find and save off-of-computer his etkey file (and silent.dat) while you're at it?  I believe that he uses ETL Client.  I use 2.6b and am too ignorant of ETLegacy to try to help him.

@Josif Toots  DD replied that my idea is not possible.  There are no "tools" in jaymod to do that.  

 

Your only hope is to find a copy of your etkey file from somewhere and copy it to your new ET installation.
