[Mod] Fixing instant respawn of killed monsters after GameServer restart

 

 

This mod for the "PKODev.NET mod loader" system fixes the problem of instant respawn of killed monsters after restarting the server. Imagine a situation: you have a boss monster on your server, for example "Black Dragon", the respawn time of which is 168 hours (a week). Your players kill it and, according to the rules of the game, next time they can kill it in a week. Then you decide to restart the server (update, maintenance, etc), but the game server is designed in such a way that all the monsters written in the scripts appear immediately after it starts. As a result, the respawn of the "Black Dragon" will occur much earlier than in 168 hours. This situation can hit the server economy or give an advantage to some players and guilds.

 

This is the second version of this mod - 1.1. In version 1.0, there was a critical bug related to the fact that one binary file for several instances of GameServer.exe was used to store information about killed monsters. For example, GameServer "A" writes a list of killed monsters to a file, then GameServer "B" writes a different list of killed monsters to the same file. As a result, the list of killed GameServer "A" monsters is lost due to the overwriting of the data file. In the new version of the mod, all data about killed monsters are stored in separate files for each map of the game world.

Hello @eatsangels,

 

describe what you did step by step.

 

Make sure that the mod has loaded (there will be a corresponding message in the GameServer.exe console window). Also make sure you have entered the correct boss id in the mod's settings file.

 

P.S. Please don't quote the whole post next time. Thank you!
