restore of lib to Feb 13th 2008

I had to restore the lib to Feb 13th 2008 because of a crash of the driver. all those online at the time lost everything and had to restore.

I am not sure why it crashed but will be looking into it.

ok it was restored to the 12th of 2008. that was the last backup we had. the 13th was from another lib. that is why it was giving a locked up by admin message

It looks like someone was doing combat right at 12:47:02 to 12:48:02 when the driver crashed.

it was a hard crash, didn't even exit via the crash function that would do player saves and exits.

Re: restore of lib to Feb 13th 2008

Everyone noticed armour downgrade since Feb 12 backup restored.
On laen it's about -25 protection.
On iron, well, I am not sure, my guess is about -15.

Would someone explain what's happened, please?

Regards,

Re: restore of lib to Feb 13th 2008

As far as I can tell, the weapons and armour bugs were caused because a directory was deleted or not restored when we reloaded from a backup. I've copied the directory and its information from test, and as far as I can tell it's fixed now.

Still working to reproduce the crash, which I assume came as a result of the drinking object changes. All the bugs that were logged as a result of the change were expected, and I've been able to reproduce them on test without any crashes. I'll keep you posted.

Re: restore of lib to Feb 13th 2008

In case I hadn't announced it before hand...

The Valentine's Day (Mud) Massacre happened as a result of me failing to copy over the changes to corpses that are now on live (special descriptions, decay rate display, etc). It's been resolved and I am now aware of where looping failures are logged, so this type of incident is unlikely to happen again.

My full apologies to all who were inconvenienced.
