Database table reset 2-11-2012 19:30 GMT+1

Hi,

After the regular server restart tonight (19:00 GMT+1) the server wasn't running properly anymore, it got everyone stuck at the "Loading" screen.

It turned out the vehicle table was damaged and we had to recover it from backup. That means that all cars and tents are rolled back the way it was 9 hours ago from now.

I noticed in the chat during gameplay that some people think this smells like admin abuse. For all of you that have their doubts, here's the #Bliss Chat log:http://pastebin.com/tH5Fr9Wg

And here's the log error message that kept everyone in the loading screen:
18:42:49 Error in expression < [2,0];_object setpos _pos;};
_object setdir _dir;_object setDamage _damage;>
18:42:49 Error position: <setdir _dir;_object setDamage _damage;>
18:42:49 Error setdir: Type Array, expected Number

It kinda hurts when you read things like 'admin abuse'. Let me remind you that this game is still in alpha stage (DayZ mod AND the server engine) and regardless of that we do our best to keep things rolling at its best for everyone of you. If things crash or go down we will get it back running no matter what.

We had to option to roll back everything the way it was 12 hours ago or just only the vehicles. We decided to do the last thing.

Sorry for the inconvenience.


At your service,
Melchett.
