Does the server need a re-boot?

Post by Wild Wombat »

I ask because neither my PC nor IWS' PC can see any quests (active or completed) in their Journals. Notes are still showing up, however.

The server does know which quests are available/completed because my PC tried to take one he had already completed (as a test only :P ) and it was not available.

That... would be the sign of a fairly massive problem.

Unfortunately can't get to it now but it may mean no quests function presently.

I will second that I have this problem as well on Kyr (my character who is currently on BG). I was trying to see what quests I had done, and there are no complete or anything in my journal.

Mail quests *do* function. No idea about the other kind of quests since I have no way to test them.

Should check your server logs for the query attempt:

ACR_SQLQuery("SELECT PlotID, PlotState FROM " + ACR_QST_TABLE + " WHERE ServerID=" + IntToString(ACR_GetServerId()) + " AND CharacterID=" + IntToString(ACR_GetCharacterID(oPC)));



The function itself hasn't changed a bit, but it's possible that one of the terms there is getting borked. Or that the .jrl is borked.

Either way, the query will tell us something.

Hm, it LOOKS ok.

Guess I'll need to pin it down in finer detail.

There was a module.jrl (journal file) in the campaign folder. I deleted it and rebooted, which should fix the problem.

I don't know how it got there but haven't been keeping up with campaign folder stuff.
