ressources vanished

[thefab]

hello

it is the second time i lose all my ressource...
i download the turn then, no more wood or stone.

have I missed something?

i saw nothing in the manual about losing ressource.

[Taurik]

Did you lose any other items, such as weapons?

Did the turn arrive (ie. make sure there is no rat in the lower left corner)?

[thefab]

urgh, i just look at the weapon, and i don't have anything left too, even those i bought the previous turn...

and no, there was no rats.

do the rats eat crossbow?

[Taurik]

This would be a bug of some sort.

We would need map+data from before loading that turn as well as the turn itself to track this down.

[thefab]

i'm afraid i have only the turn after, as i don't save anything.
(i've not downloaded today's turn yet)
still, i can see the weapons i bought last turn, they don't appear in my stock.

do this single turn can help you?

[Taurik]

Well, if the problem repeats, send me your current map+data (before downloading the turn into the game) plus that turn and I will see what I can find.

Please also tell me which version of ToT you are using.

Hi Fabrice,

I need a copy of your Map and Data directory from yesterday and today.
Packed as .lha would be fine. And I need the turn mail you received today.
Stuff this into a email and send it to godefroy@gmx.li !

Kind regards,
Christian aka. Godefroy

datas were just sent

Hello Fabrice,

I tested your data and found everything as described.
BUT, when I loaded the turn, no error occured. All goods still there,
army in place too. Next odd thing was, that in your second data set
a directory was missing. As far as I know, the client never deletes
directories. Did you have problems with your harddisk? Crashes?
Needed to revalidate? I can't help but suspect a reason outside
the game client to cause the problem. Please tell me more!

Kind regards,
Christian

hello,

i made a little test and, indeed, i reload the turn before the bug, then the next turn and the bug did not appear.
so it seem to be a randomly generated one.

i did not made change to the tot directory, i suspect that the missing directory was lost during the archive process, which directory is it exactly? i have still a backup of the data so i could look if the drawer is there.

i did not have any problem with my hard disk or partition actually, it is on a sfs partition.

did you noticed in the market screen that there were not a single other lord's good too?
