usable items crash the clients connected to my server

Post by TeoTwawki » Fri Aug 16, 2013 5:37 pm

I seem to have done something that broke all usable items on my server. Spell scrolls, food, enchanted gear, potions...Everything. No errors show on the server at all, but clients crash when they try to use an item. This doesn't happen on other servers I checked so it has to be something I did, but I've no idea where to look. I never made any edits that relate to items. Out of what little I did edit, I can't see where anything would do this.

I would delete your item folder located in "server/scripts/globals/"
then navigate to your back up a folder
and right click on globals and click svn update. This should fix any problems, if there was related to the items luas...

I wiped the entire thing, used a pure unchanged copy from svn. Crashed on using a meat jerky. Crashed on using a potion.

Darkstar test server I can use that same potion without problems from the same client. /headdesk

Latest ffxi, latest ffxi boot with hairpin support, latest ashita, database was clean from svn* on that last test. I am so massively stumped.

* (dropped entire thing and used a new one, have my backup but have not restored anything yet)

What else is left? I compiled a completely separate server with a totally new database and still have items crashing, and if it were the client I'd be crashing on the test server too and I'm not. Could I somehow have a damaged runtime or something on the server's OS and not be getting an error message during compile?

The only thing I can think of is to try a new build on a totally different physical machine and see if it still happens. That's gonna take awhile. :/

It's the hairpin option >.<

Thank you so much for your help guys.

Not being able to hairpin is prob in itself but at least I know why items were crashing now.
