Oct 2019 - DBEditor Issues

[John Adams]

Cynnar is reporting some failures with saving ZoneScripts (not sure if it's only those) in the EQ2DB Editor 2 (the blue one). Every time I try it, it works fine, but when he Saves "Commonlands.lua" for example, it writes a zero-byte file, wiping out the existing text, and gives him a filesystem error that it cannot write the file.

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this issue. Since these editors are 10 years old and have never failed before, and believe me, your server is almost as old I have to conclude maybe it's something in the content that's causing it to fail on write-file. No idea why it would suddenly do that.

If someone is having an issue saving Scripts, please post your intended script here (wrapped in [code] bbcode so I can see it) and I will try your script. or, PM it to me if you don't want it out here in the public forum yet.

rebooting the db server gave no results, jabantiz rebooted everything manually and now it works again and my scripts randomly recreated themselves

my scripts randomly recreated themselves

yeah I think that was John's doing. Nothing on this project magically fixes itself. Maybe break itself, but never fix it.
