World Flag- GM Account Login Issues

phantomghost · #1 05-22-2015, 02:14 PM

Was having issues logging on my server. Everything worked fine yesterday.

I logged in, flagged my account at 250 before logging in so it all worked fine.

I tried logging on this morning and it kept crashing with a memory code issue 0x779a9e33 or it would just get to the very end of the load screen before the character select screen and do nothing.

After searching I found potential causes were, screen resolution, cpu issues, corrupt characters, or just something with the install that needed to be done over.

So, I tried changing my resolutions- did not help.

Did not try anything with the cpu.

I also did a fresh install, which did nothing other than let me listen to music while it was loading.

So I went on to thinking maybe one of the two characters I created was corrupt. So I logged on a different account and of course I was able to get on the server and create a character.

My immediate thought was one or both of my characters were corrupted, I could not figure out how to delete them without being able to get to the character select.

Well, I decided to flag the other account as a GM of 250 rank- see if I could delete them there (or just play on that account) and sure enough I could not log in again as soon as I did this. So I lowered my original account to 0 and I was able to log in with no issues on that account.

The issue I am having is when I flag an account as a GM it will not let me log in. (Of course now that I know the issue my current line of action is, flag the account to 0, log on server, flag it to 255 (found through search 255 has all access), and play.

I searched to see if I could find any similar issues but nothing was coming up. (Also, not exactly sure what to search)

Tried searching world flag, memory error, corrupt account, memory leak, account flag, GM flag, gm issue. Did not find anything.

Changed my start.bat to:

Code:

@echo off
shared_memory.exe
start world.exe
echo waiting for the world to finish before starting zone...
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul
start queryserv.exe
start ucs.exe
start eqlaunch.exe zone
start cmd.exe
exit

That way all I had to do was type world flag account (0 or 255)

Also, realized I am able to play without disconnecting as long as I do not use #peqzone or #zone, when I use those I crash to account login screen.

Here is the end of the log file where I crash (I zoned to PoTranquility without #zone. Then I tried to use #zone poknowledge)

I also tried flagging myself back to 0 before I actually use the #zone command but that did not work. So I am out of ideas. (I did not test all 271 commands, just some of the main ones #bot, #fi, #si, #heal, #mana, #level, #traindisc, etc.)

Tried a few other things but they were really no benefits.

Found out the highest I can flag an account and still log on without issues is level 10.

At world flag 10, I can use #peqzone without issues.

If (before zoning) I change my account flag to 11 or higher using #peqzone it still crashes.

I tried to set the server new account status, but anything over 10 would not allow me to log on on new accounts.

Edit:

Using #cast to use ports also crashes me, but they do work if I am in that zone and do not actually have to go to the loading screen.

Using a LAN login does not help. (I did log on another server that grants 100 world flag level- and I could use all of the #commands- so I am assuming there is an issue with my server specifically- not a client or hardware issue)

My solution at this point works for me, but may not work for others (if they happen to have the same issue- and need more than 11 (0-10) user access levels for flagging players.

I just changed all the commands to access level 10 in HeidiSQL. (For anybody like myself who really had no idea how to use HeidiSQL.... Login->PEQ->commands->Click Data towards upper center of screen-> change all access values to what you need them (can use replace text to shorten the time it takes...looks like a "b a" picture or press ctrl+r)

When flagged at 255 it shows access to 271 commands) it did drop me down to only 182 (not sure where the rest went, but any that I have used seem to all be there)

I am able to log in and can use #zone without crashing.

If anybody happens to come across this same situation and finds a solution that is not just a quick (temporary) fix, would love to know what you did.

That is really weird. Hopefully the underlying problem will be discovered so a workaround isn't necessary. Glad you do have a workaround for now, though.
