Gotcha, well don't worry about it for now. I'll send you a database file the moment this happens again.

Much appreciated, any current fixes to these broken database files? They are unusable in this state, as I said I am in pre-alpha so my testers can expect these errors so its not a huge deal.

I would suggest running all your sounds through an equalizer and adjust them to be all at a similar volume while you're at it.

Hello all, I made a post about this a few weeks ago and I thought I had reached a solution, however it seems I was wrong. I thought it was an error in the servers.json files but that appears to not be the case, it is a problem with the playerdata.db files. Let me explain, this happened randomly when I decided to shut my server down and restart it. I always exit my server with the "exit" command and I never force close my server with task manager or by just clicking the X, and when doing this it usually closes just fine however this time it got stuck on "Server is now closing. Please wait while your game and player data is saved!" so I let it sit for 20 minutes and nothing happend so I had to force close it. Now every time I do boot the server up, this problem happens when players do things in game. Such as quest progress, making new char's and acc's, etc, etc. However if I boot the server and do nothing and then close the server, it closes just fine because there is no new data to save. I use a Windows VPS and it has all the read and write permissions it needs. When having this problem I just downloaded a fresh install of Intersect because I was not too far in development and didn't mind restarting, however I now have so much work put into the server, I can't just restart. So I made a backup of playerdata.db and deleted it, and the server is up and working as it was. No error upon exiting or anything, I have tried 3 different versions of intersect. Currently on 0.6.0.145 but was originally on 0.6.0.0 and this happened on all 3 different versions. So at some point my playerdata.db must have been corrupted or not saved properly, and I have absolutley no clue how it happened. Of course looking into the file does not help me at all as it looks to have been encrypted or something. As of right now this solution will work because I am in pre-alpha and only play testers are online and they can expect these kind of things to happen. However once I get a live version running with players online, this can't be my solution unless I make a backup every 1 hour. Which also won't work as I can't log-into my VPS every hour to do this. I need to know why this happens and what to do in-case it does. Thank you in advance! UPDATE: This doesn't appear to just be a problem regarding my server, I have a friend who is running into the same issues with her server running from home. UPDATE 2: Follow-up here.

@Kamus this worked, I appreciate your help. Someone should add that in documentation for people using GMAIL.

My password is already there, I just changed it to <password> for my privacy on the forums. I will give your less secure apps method a try though, wish me luck and thank you for the reply.

X-Mas Bump, if anyone could help me I'd be grateful.

Love that!

Hello all, I keep getting this error whenever I attempt to do a password reset: I have my config.json file configured as so: If you could help me reach a solution it would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you in advance! PS: to the admins that warned me for "post hijacking" on the post below, my bad! Just thought it would be better that I post there instead of making multiple posts about the same problem! Anyway its all good!

Just saying its cool

I remember this game so many years ago! ONE

Sounds cool.

SOLVED I had to re-download the editor and the box appeared.

Hey there, I am looking to award a player EXP when an enemy dies. I remember a looong time ago back on the eclipse engine it was possible without any fancy events, you could just input how much EXP you would like to award on the death of an NPC. Thanks in advance for the help!

Gotcha, darn. I wish there were more options to choose from, I am not the best artist.

How do you go about installing the UI?

SOLUTION: If you are having issues with your server saving data, check all of your server's .JSON files to make sure that you have no errors in your spelling. Compare your .JSON files with fresh files from https://www.ascensiongamedev.com/files/file/3-intersect-engine/ to see if you can spot any typos. In general be very cautious when editing Server .JSON's

Interesting update, if I use brand new server files to run the server, make an account and log in. Then make a character, move around and then shut the server down. All of my players info saves fine.

Nope, does not work either. I could upload my server files and send you a link if you'd like to take a look?B

Looks like that didn't work either however everything is functioning as usual. Its just that no player data gets saved.

Alrighty, I am on 0.6.0.0 I'll let you know how it goes.

Do I just need to replace the .exe and .pdb?

The only anti-virus I found was Windows Defender and I have now disabled it. Also, what do you mean by "0.6.0.138" is that a intersect version? If so would you happen to have a link to it? And will it work with the latest version client?

Im running on a Windows VPS and it does have write permissions to the resources directory. I'll check in with the host to look into the antivirus, but what do you mean by sandboxing capabilities?
