World Server Autosaving?

[magicrox]

Is there a possibility to make the world server autosave every so often? My world server crashed and it caused all the data to be lost. I see an autosave function thing in the worldserver.conf but it doesn't seem to be doing anything when i change it. it was normally at 1 so i changed it to 60 (like every 60 seconds to autosave)

If anyone has a fix for this please reply.

Thanks,
magicrox

Wow, crashing OSiRose, that's a new one Do you know what caused the crash? It'd be better to fix the crash above an auto-save workaround, but as far as I know, things are only saved when someone logs out.

Hmm I didn't realize the autosave function did not work in osirose.
I know it does in osrose. i wonder what is different?
May have to check into that. possibly implement a new form of saving as Lmame has done for osrose rev 81

A simple fix may be, rather than an auto-save, just trigger a save on a character by character basis whenever something momentous happens. A level up or finishing a quest or something.

autosave does work in irose the autosave value you changed should be set to 1 (1=on 0=off) farther down there is a line that says autosavetime or something like that and that value is in seconds

Well, the thing that triggered the crash was the /mon command. Idk why it's cashing the world server to crash but it's the last thing that happens every time before a world server crash. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Edit: Here is my worldserver.conf....I see no autosavetime, just an autosave which I have set to 1.

Right underneath autosave is savetime. It's set to 3600 seconds, which is an hour.
Also, /mon will crash the server if you do something like put in an invalid monster ID. You must be careful with the GM commands, a lot of them don't have bounds checking.

Oh. I'm blind haha. as for the /mon command I typed in "/mon 1 1" That command is supposed to summon one jelly bean. Instead of doing that it just crashes the server. Is there a way to fix this in the server files or something or should i just tell my GMs not to use the /mon command? Also, another issue I'm having. there seems to be no time limit on items dropped on the ground. They stay there until the server is restarted or someone picks them up. Is this fixable/changeable?

the command is bugged for now, i am trying to work on it. even if you put the command correctly it will still DC

[magicrox]

I see.....good luck with that. Does anyone know how to fix the unlimited drop time bug?....like how the items on the ground don't disappear until the server restarts or whatever.

to fix the /mon command in worldmap.cpp at line 115 put /* infront of if(getdropdata &&owner==0)
and at line 124 after } put */
and recompile
