Cash's World Server

[843jdc]

I've found what I think is the problem area.
The program properly places the coords of the center map block in a list of map blocks to be saved. That center map block contains a prot block and/or chest. The program "sets that variable aside" and creates another variable that contains that same coord to be used in 3-deep x,y,z for loops collecting the coords of the surrounding map blocks, that is when the coords get screwed up. That makes the program put the wrong coords into the final list of map blocks to be saved. The only correct coord in that list is the center one. But nodes in that map block can get screwed up by the next search item added to the list.

Somehow the variable that is set aside is being altered. Though I don't see how. I will. Eventually. When I do, I'm going to be mad at my stupidity yet again. Likely a typo or missing comma somewhere. "It's always something simple that screws it all up." Maddening until found but obvious after that.

CW is down until this is fixed to prevent the map from getting larger. Any larger and my system won't have the memory available to shrink the map.

As for asking Lag, I'm a stubborn SOB sometimes. I prefer doing my best first. Then if I give up, then I yell for help. And not one second sooner than I need to.

Copy by reference versus copy by value.
'from copy import copy' did the trick.

I'll find out later today if the program works correctly now.

Oh I get it! Hopefully you find that typo or whatever the error is soon! Good Luck

im glad! to see the server working!

CW is halfway down the server list o_O

[ExeterDad]

Nice!!! Congrats and Welcome back!

I'm glad you got it sorted out. I look forward to dropping by CW again sometime this week. Now you deserve some rest ;)

Not anymore. Top of the list. Though it does not deserve to be.

SorceryKid - I'm glad too. I think the code is a mess. But when I found a solution to a problem, I applied it and moved on to the next problem. "If it works, leave it alone" haha. It's nice being able to do other tasks again. Mainly World of Warcraft xD

I'll post the code to github soon. For now I have some demons to go kill >:)

[ManElevation]

are the demonds Baggins and Salex :I

are the demonds Baggins and Salex :I

BB said ByeBye a while algo :P
I think World of Warcraft has demons. Never heard of it until now though so I might be wrong...

[Salex]

??????! What?????

[ManElevation]

The first think Baggins said when he joined my server was "Please dont ban me here" xD i guess he gets banned all the time

Man - Maybe he should stop griefing?

Server is down until I fix the map and stop the server from crashing. My fault. I screwed up when I neglected to check to see if map blocks actually existed before creating the shrunken map. This should be quick. All I have to do is try to load a mapblock, if it fails, don't write it to a new map file. Else write it. I just got to code it. Maybe a couple of hours.

I deleted a lot of 'mapblocks' that contained nothing. Let's see how it works.

Server is up!
