  1. No mods. No neighbor servers. This is a serious issue. What other info do people need to confirm this bug?
  2. I run a small server on Blue Fang. We have aprox 20 players and peak at 4-6 at once. We have been up for over two weeks. All of my players are reporting an item corruption issue, and I have experienced it myself first-hand. Item missing, changed, or wrong tags. I am suspicious of the temporary database files that are left over when I stop and start the server, for example .db-shm and db-wal files. When I open the database in SQLite Browser they go away, presumably rolled into the main database file. When I start and stop the server from the Blue Fang control panel the temp files remain. Has anyone else had any item corruption issue? Its a big deal for us. I will let players explain, here is one report: ----- You can see that many of the lumps are showing the wrong icon. (some show the iron icon, others show something that looks like silver dirt).It won't let me combine them with other lumps, probably because they are now another item type. Upon examining, they give the description for "rock shards" or "lump of iron", yet the item name says "lump, silver". I definitely know that all the silver lumps were fine immediately before the reboot, because I had just been looking at them. Even worse, I lost my best lump of silver. It was around 4kg (which is a lot of silver, each silver ore only gives 0.10kg) and max quality for this vein (34QL). I had combined all the lumps which were 34 QL into a single lump. That lump represented about 2-3 hours of straight mining, because it's only about a 1 in 10 chance of getting max, and it was about 40 lumps combined. I believe it had been sitting in my forge, but just to be sure, I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. I also lost a couple valuable items in my inventory. 1. an opal2. a source crystalBoth of these things are rare random drops from mining. Also, a few things in my chests turned into random objects. I'm now the proud owner of: 1. a corpse of adolescent mountain lion. 2. an ear of corn. 3. rock shards, but with an odd icon. I wish I could tell what these things used to be. I don't think it was anything valuable.
  3. #give 176 worked! I already had a GM 5 character, and that command fixed my problem. Thanks!
  4. Yes, we can set players to GM level 5 via the data base. However, logging back in has never given me the wand. I have logged on and off for anywhere from minutes to days between, always with the same inventory. The server has been stopped and restarted in between those times. Other people have reported the same.
  5. (RESOLVED: See below) Hi, A number of us have a common problem: there is no way to spawn a GM Wand when using a third party server host that does not provide GUI access (like Blue Fang). I have FTP access and am familiar with SQLite. I can see the wurmplayers db and inventoryid table. I can also see the wurmitems db and the items table. When I create a local dedicated server and re-start, I get the wand as itemid 176 "ebony wand", wurmid 8522744774402, ownerid 1308692889344. I am scared to mess around with it too much, but it seems like I should be able to insert that item into my hosted server wurmitems db, and link it to the wumplayers inventoryid. I also tried #loadItemFromHell <long id> but think that requires an item already on the server. "176" as <long id> did not work. Any guidance on the right way to do this? If we figure it out a lot of other people will benefit. Thanks, milspec
  6. Hi, My friend is having trouble launching WU from a Windows XP SP3 computer. We troubleshooted the Java install and the C++ Redistributables that come with the game but nothing works. He has the "steam_api.dll" in his launcher folder (different from the steam_api64.dll I have on my 64-bit Win 7 machine). He is running Java 32 version 1.8.0_65. He is running the vcredist_x86 that came bundled with WU, versions: 2010 = 10.0.40219.325 2012 = 11.0.61030.0 2013 = 12.0.30501.0 We spent a lot of time making sure the redist's were installed right, verified by CClean, and that Java was working. It still gives: path "is not a valid win32 application" It gives the error with Steam on or off. It gives the error when the WurmLauncher.exe is called directly from java -jar. It gives the error all of the time. :-) We think of ourselves as good with computers but this one stumped us. We are happy to put some time into this to help anyone else it might be impacting. Thanks, milspec
