Server Crashes + 500 Item Limit On Quit
« on: October 14, 2010 10:58 pm CDT »
I was just curious, why exactly can't you save your character with more than 500 of some item in your inventory? Is that something Particle put in there? Or is it just part of the base RPG code? What's the reasoning behind this?

I'm not aware of this, but perhaps that is why the 500 limit was imposed to begin with.  It isn't something I added in myself.  It was a limit in base TRPG and is adjustable via a variable.  My guess:  Tribes doesn't handle > 512 of any item very well.

I'll set the limit back to 500.  I'd raised it to 2000 a while back at peoples' request.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

I'm a little confused by this part. It's already at 500 now, so...

that was why the limit was set to 500 at the start, we had a real problem with server crash or just loosing everything when we were working with the original code, but im sure part has fixed that by now.

now i remember , you wold lose everything if more than 500 items
