 |
 |
|
|
| I am using the latest biller of catid's that is SubGame compatible and when I as a NetOp use ?recyclezone <ScoreID> it crashes the biller. If a zone owner uses ?recycle it crashes the server COMPUTER. Does anyone know why it is doing this? |

Maybe because catid's biller somehow can't remotely recycle the game server at all?

I know it's possible because SSN by Maucaub was able todo it. Perhaps, the implementation is wrong then? I never tried recycling a zone remotely though with Catids biller. :/

| And I remember using an older version of catid's biller back in the day when I had my server (forget the name of it back then) when NTC was around and Cyan~Fire had his server too. I could use ?recyclezone <ScoreID> and ?recycle and they were fine. |

Well, catid hasn't updated the biller since then, so it must be your computer.

Maybe this is a syntax issue?
Are you sure you're using the right command? I don't see any "?recycle", only a "?recyclezone".
Are there any subgames running with a non-unique score ID?
If no score ID was provided by the operator the biller takes the zone the operator is currently in, so well, I'm not sure if score IDs would matter.
Run the biller in a debugger, I'm sure that'd make it easier to determine the cause of this problem. |

?recycle is a command. It is used for recycling the specific arena, and if done in the public/default arena, it will recycle the zone.
All zones have their unique ScoreID but all on the same GroupID.
Also, what debugging program? |

| Actually Donkano, zones are supposed to be able to share score ID's and there's supposed to be a biller command to remotely recycle a zone (forcing people to re-enter to receive reset scores perhaps). |

Wrong, because the ?recyclezone command works by ScoreID and if all the zones are the same ScoreID, it would recycle them all.
Also, more proof that 2 or more zones of the same ScoreID would not work is because the biller won't accept 2 ScoreID's connected at once.
And for recycling a zone it is a GroupOp command: ?recyclezone <ScoreID> |

If you wanted to recycle because of a score reset, then you would want all zones with the same score ID to recycle, not just one.
Some more proof from commands.txt:
| Quote: | | *szone = Sends message to all zones with same scoreid as current zone |

Then why do I see a: ?networkreset under the level 0 (NetOp) commands?
| ?Man NetworkReset wrote: | Will reset all scores in all zones on the biller.
You require network-wide access to use this command.
SYNTAX: ?networkreset
EXAMPLE: ?networkreset |

| Okay, I just tried putting 2 temporary zones with the same ScoreID and same GroupID on at once and the biller didn't allow it. |

Probably depends on whether the biller supports it or not.
Going back to the original question:
| Quote: | | If a zone owner uses ?recycle it crashes the server COMPUTER. |
Maybe it's a problem with the server settings and not the biller? |

But that won't fix his problem. Try reformatting?
