Bank problems...

You got it all wrong Shins, it's the Whoozie-Dingers

...yet another victim. Yesterday I lost my stuff due to some lag problems and a irritating too fast clicking mouse issues. One suggestion that came to my mind is that when you close the chest u get automatically teleported to the entrance.

At least, there was some porr stuff in there

Problem with lag is, you can make you script as secure as possible, lag is still able to break it. I used to ignore the chest when I had the feeling the server lagged only a few miliseconds.

I don't think there is a 100% secure persistent storage system and maybe there shouldn't, however to extend on Kermit's idea I found this script on the vault: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Scripts.Detail&id=35, apparently it stores your cd-key on the chest and keeps the stuff for ten minutes, only characters with the same cd-key can open the chest, f you haven't emptied the chest within 10 minutes it will self destruct and spawn a new chest for others to use, seems like an excellent transfer system to me. Only problem is the script is quite old and I can't test it for you guys, so if anyone has the time.

Also you might want to look at the following persistent storage scripts:

http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Scripts.Detail&id=1214
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Scripts.Detail&id=3049
http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Prefabs.Detail&id=653

They should still be tested though

There are much better storage scripts out there that are being used on other servers.


To say this is all based off "Player error" is weak at best in light of the fact that its fixable on the dev side.

I think that Turril mentioned to bring him one that supposedly works better and he will install it. So if you could get a hand on these you can send them in...

I've had my problems with the bank eatin me stuff. Which was my fault. Double-clicking, not waitin long enough to reopen.
I've not had an issue for over 2 years since.
I've been to other servers, they all seem to have the same warnings.

[ShinsFortress]

IF all servers have this problem THEN please remove the facility ELSE please implement a better one.

Other servers maybe mostly do have such warnings, but on any of the ones I've played on the frequency of actual problems is not up to our level.  Observer error?  Bad luck?  Maybe.  I can only report what I experience.

Supplemental:  if other servers are no better than us, how come they can actually use their scripts to provide actual persistent storage on long term bases?  While we have to downgrade ours and explicitly state that it should be used for transferring only or not at all?

This isn't meant to be a criticism of our dev team, but of a legacy system that seems old.  Hence my radical suggestion above.

Agreed- I lost a full chest to the server crashing. I have also lost stuff to the chest saying I was trying to gain access to some one else's gear when it was mine. several things that had nothing to do with the occational player fault issues.

Hence the reason for asking for the katana style chest to be returned.

I remember when I first started playing, I was warned not to use the bank and I never have.  The floor was worked just fine and I've never lost anything to the floor.  There continues to be problems and, personally, I think the bank system should just be removed.  This whole thread keeps coming up over and over with the same kind of issues.

Just use the floor in the pocket!

Darth Floor:  "The chest is not as forgiving as I am...."

[Kermit]

I see no reason to do away with it.

I wasn't suggesting that- I was suggesting an additional option.
