heya all,

For the last two hours or so, there has been some weird stuff happening, including:

1. Fiery death machine being located in two diff places;

2. Edoras guards and healing essence spawning in eastermet South, North, anorien east and fallen fields. They are not there since no NPC interact with them.

3. I got three msgs saying the same thing in the combat log window - some 103 problem about multiple IP accounts being logged in at the same time (did my account get hacked???);

4. I got booted several times right after killing something, whether a boss like celebrant commander or NPCsl; I was not afk at any point in time;

5. I could see, according to the player list, that Fiery Death Machine was standing near me, but in fact he was not;

6. I could see party msgs from Mordor players, but I was not in the Mordor party;

7. I got 6.516 gp from a party sell even though Nauneu was not in the Mordor party (and see #8 below);

8. I was online and killing NPCs and looting, but some of the other players could not see my in the player list; and

9. I logged on after being booted and I was not visible to myself (even if I hit the TAB key); and

10. I got an invitation to join a party from  .................... myself  Roll Eyes


ciao,


Lief

There were issues like that the other night.  Someone's logging in from the same IP again.  icon_scratch

I have a feeling there's going to be an Olle sticky post tittled:

"You stupid donkeys, here's how to change your port number so that you don't screw up the server!"
I'm sure it'll have plenty of nice emoticons in it as well...  theeye

Many strange things happen when players share IPs and Ports. Even DMs are not immune to such oddities.  Shocked

The best thing that can be done when these things start happening is too find out who the players are. Explain it to them how to change thier port numbers.  evil5

The game would need to be rebooted still. Send me a PM if no Deputies are around.  icon_queen

Most of the time this is innocently done by new players, so be nice. If they've been around awhile, feel free to in some Corsairian words.  cussing

y'know, df actually set it up so that when players log from the same IP that they get a floating message above their heads when they log in that tells them there is a problem.  there's a sign in the pocket as well that leads them to info about fixing it.  That's about all we can do but hopefully figure out who it is pretty quick.


For those who don't know... Go into your NWN directory, open nwnplayer.ini and about 20 lines down it says Client Port = 5120.  One of the ppl needs it to say 5121 or 5122 so it doesn't match the other machine behind their router.

I was probably one of the people causing the issues. Hopefully I've corrected the issue (as I pretty much do everything related to computer troubleshooting here in this house....) so I'm praying to however many deities are listening that I and my friends don't cause any more malfunctions.

Wow, that was very big of you MrCoffey as you are tempting the fates admitting your culpability concerning this emotional issue. I'm impressed

Olle. you need more emotes in your response please.

Transitions to enter Cair Andros from Anduin East/West of Cair Andros are not working (my bad probably, but they work the other direction).  All other transitions within appear to be working... the monsters are getting hungry.

Wouldnt it be easier to just throw in a script that punts a 2nd person using the same ip/port than to have issues when people do it?

it would except then it doesn't allow people to play from the same location.  I don't know if there is a way to also check what port they use, if that is done and they are the same it would be appropriate to boot one. 

Transitions to Cair Andros are functional.  Tx.

Still if you boot people the harm is probably already done, and they don't see the message appearing leaving them with absolutely no idea why they were kicked.
