Server Downtime

I had posted this on the forums, i’ll put it here as well as update everyone on the status

Right now there are at least two issues that we know of, although they may be related
there is the Runtime Error 10 and the Script Control Error
i have indeed found 1 character that is a trigger, whenever Angels Bank (or w/e) is killed the server crashes with a Script Control Error
we tested this extensivly and I can’t replicate it on a different character at all…but on that character a death causes the server to crash

so that is one trigger
there may be another trigger for the more common RTE10
the server seems to be very stable from about 2am(ish) – noon my time
outside of those times we’re lucky if the server stays up longer than 10 minutes
so knowing that there is at least one character triggering at least one type of crash, it may be that a character or characters are also triggering the other crash
it may also be an event, a quest, a script, a warp, we are not sure yet what is causing it, we have an idea of how to fix it, we just are not able to just yet
for right now, for the night I am keeping the server down because I can’t babysit it and even if I could, we can’t keep the server up long enough for it to matter to you players.
Sometimes the server crashes within seconds of being restarted.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience and please know that fixing this issue is my number 1 priority and as soon as nean pokes his head around again (hopefully tonight or tomorrow) we will get this issue fixed ASAP
thankyou for being patient we staff all appreciate patience.

on a lighter note, there are several new areas that are completed or nearing completion, or being worked on
Alphonse is remmapping many areas and they all look pretty grand, but need to be implemented.
other devs are working on Fire Temple, Ice Cavern, Goron city, Dodongo’s Cavern
we need to update everyones tilesheets before some areas can be released, so in the next full update (hopefully in a few weeks) we will be updating tilesheets and spritesheets and hopefully releasing new areas for everyone

sincerely,
your friendly, neighborhood Gunslinger…


anyways the official word is that we are working on something…we’re pretty much possibly going to move to ED 3.2.2 hopefully we will be up within a day or two
no promises
but that’s the plan ok
until then the server is going to stay down
if we don’t have it ready by tuesday morning i’ll keep the old server up as I can…
i’m locking this topic now :p…

The good news is we ARE moving everything over to ED 3.2.2  Nean has been working on this for a few days and we are hopefully close to releasing by this weekend.  He is sending me an alpha build of everything right now.
We may lose a feature or two here and there at first, our primary goal is getting this source to handle all our existing data properly.  So as long as it displays maps, npc’s, spells, animations, sounds, items, etc, and so long as everything works, we will release it.  Once that initial release is out then expect us to start cranking out some new stuff for you all!
