server crash.... character lost...

[akimokilla]

My freind was hosting a server in edana then we went to the thornlands and the server crashed bout 15 min after we got to the lands....then when he restarted his server all the stuff he got was lost and he lost the skills he gained......(i give him alll my armor since some dude was giving out free stuff) is there any way this can be fixed? (luckily all my armor was saved...)

Backup your characters

back up ur characters?.........umm. Ya.....ok.



I think if he started a server in the ThornLands his stuff will come back

i think your wrong.. Make that i know



Character deletion comes, your char1.char file will be deleted and then restarted. Only way to fix this is to back up your characters frequently. Restarting where you lost your stuff will not. And personally, i think when a dev says "Backup your characters" instead of something more usefull, is yeah...

And what you said was FAR more useful. Look, at this point, the only thing that can save you is a backup copy of the original file. What most people already do is backup thier characters on a regular basis via a batch file, or maybe even doing it manually. MS:C will auto-maticly backup your character(s), aswell as preventing them from being improperly saved.

Why do you have to be so negative?

It's how it works, it's a bug. There is no way to fix it once it happens, unless you backup a character.

 

[akimokilla]

ok we solved it with out ur help.. but the back up file us a spring board.....

 

[Red Dragon]

Bullshit. How did you get your deleted character back without using a backup, because I highly doubt you found a way, when people who've been here for 3 years are firmly convinced there is no way around it.

If this is the same backup system he implimented in 1.3, I managed to corrupt my backup once.

Not sure if I was using developing cvars or not, though, but it backed up my corrupted character, as I didn't leave when it told me I was corrupted, and thus saved again, and created another backup whith my corrupted one.

That system only backed it up, the new one can prevent corrupt saves.
