Re: Bug Reports
Thanks go out to both Wing and Koneko for thoroughly testing /legit mode to figure out that ?SPECIAL WEAPON was being blocked and to EvilMag for hopping online so we could test the gem order fix with four players.
BlueCrab will update Iselia and Altimira with r304 some time Wednesday morning when nobody is online, so if Christmas mode is off again, you can assume that the ship has been restarted and updated. I'll enable Christmas again when I get up. I'd say we're off to a good start so far.

Re: Bug Reports
Hey, any time. I know the V2 community has always been small the past few years. If you ever need any help with something that is within our abilities, don't hesitate to ask. o:

Yeah, I'd be willing to help as well. Oh yeah, has anyone tried Battle mode to see if there are any problems?

Re: Bug Reports
Actually, I was thinking about testing Battle 1 to see if that crazy SCHTServ bug still happens where if you play it a second time, you see your opponent using different weapons than he actually is, and when you kill him, he drops stuff like God/Legs instead of a weapon. xD I think we ought to see if BlueCrab can figure out the lobby crash and Guild Card searching problems first, though. We're also going to try to make the graves in Challenge appear cross-platform, for the lulz.
Re: Bug Reports
Dreamcast for to seeing the death-markers?
So long as I don't need to burn a disc for it, I'll test it!
Oh, I had a question, does Bluecrab's server support restoring from saves with less playtime like SCHTserv does?
(I.E. restoring from e-mail saves.)

Re: Bug Reports
Bug (I think): Only 5 download quests are available for the Dreamcast v2. Hero & Daughter and the Triad Maximum attack are not present (I only see the default 5).
I'm using the GD-ROM, as always.

Bleh. Stupid bug. I'll fix it the next time I restart login server (so probably later tonight).Moopthehedgehog wrote:Bug (I think): Only 5 download quests are available for the Dreamcast v2. Hero & Daughter and the Triad Maximum attack are not present (I only see the default 5).

EDIT: It should be fixed now. Please let me know if the fix works right.

Re: Bug Reports
This a bug regarding GC on your ship Ives. Can't seem to make a game cause when I do, I end up here:
(Unless you set it to that.) I tried it on Vega and Crab's ships and it worked fine.

Re: Bug Reports
Blue Crab explained to me on Dcemulation forum that it happens due to lag because of ship´s different locations and your distance from them...that´s why vega works well, it must be closer to your location ...at least, Iselia does work for you. For my pso plus, it also happens on Iselia, and not on vega.

Re: Bug Reports
The odd thing about that, though, is that Altimira and Iselia are hosted in the same exact place, on the same exact machine, using the same exact binary of ship_server.SHADOWROD wrote: Blue Crab explained to me on Dcemulation forum that it happens due to lag because of ship´s different locations and your distance from them...that´s why vega works well, it must be closer to your location ...at least, Iselia does work for you.

That said, usually that "above the ship" thing is related to lag, and sometimes passes after a little while. PSO is very fickle at times with relation to lag. Heck, I think I remember that above the ship thing happening to me back in the day on Sega's server on PSOv1.
Re: Bug Reports
Being above Pioneer 2 only happens on the Gamecube version. In Ver.1/2, you get to stare out the window of the Hunter's Guild with the pillar just sitting there doing its spinny thing.

Re: Bug Reports
Yeah but everytime I make a game I get stuck up there. At least on v2, I can play.

Re: Bug Reports
clients from ceasing to synchronize with the leader after a while.
This has only happened to me twice.. both times were in PH
I'm not quite sure I know what I'm talking about I'll admit, but is there a chance it might have something to do with a lot/many different types of monsters?
Maybe too many monsters or items at once..?

Re: Bug Reports
The desynchronization bug has been fixed!
The short form: Teams will no longer desynchronize when legit mode is enabled. Huzzah! The bug was discovered two days ago, a temporary fix was tested yesterday, and now a permanent fix is in place. That should be the end of it, but if you encounter any other problems, let us know.
The long form, if you're curious:

The long form, if you're curious:
- Spoiler:
- What was wrong? Legit mode scans drops, and it was detecting Meseta as illegitimate. Each kind of item has its own type flag, and the Meseta type wasn't set to be recognized, which caused the game to think all kinds of Meseta drops were hacked. In and of itself, this wouldn't cause a problem, but legit mode was also designed to block drops it thought were hacked. As such, it would prevent all Meseta drops from appearing, which is why people have reported that Meseta never dropped sometimes. The problem is that it isn't possible to block drops for the leader. Since the leader generates the drops, he will always see them.
The desync was caused when the leader would decide to pick up Meseta. He would tell the other clients that he picked up an item, but that item didn't exist for the other clients, since legit mode blocked the drop for them. This would confuse all the other clients and cause the synchronized simulations between all the clients to break down, and at the next available exit point (returning to Pioneer 2, apparently), desynchronized clients would disconnect. (It's actually rather remarkable that this didn't cause FSOD, which is what other desyncs often do.) This is why the desynchronization seemed to occur "randomly". Sometimes the team would desynchronize in the first room, while other times you could get halfway through the area before it happened. The variation was simply due to when the leader bothered to pick up Meseta for the first time -- since we all have so much of it, we often don't bother to pick it up. Without realizing it, the leader was actually nuking his team when he decided to pick up Meseta for the first time. Oops...
The fix, then, no longer tries to block the drop. Instead, when the legit checker detects a hacked drop, it allows the drop to be sent to everyone, and then it immediately deletes that drop from the floor (using the same method as when you drop too many items on Pioneer 2, old ones get deleted). The result is that you probably won't see the drop at all, and if you do, it will only be for a split second, and probably only if you're the leader, since the leader's ahead of everyone else in terms of seeing drops. Even if you do see it, you won't be able to pick it up, since the server must acknowledge every time somebody picks up an item. By the time you try pick up the item, it will already have been deleted, so you won't receive it.
To be clear, the legit checker only checks and potentially blocks monster and box drops. Drops from players' inventories are not subjected to this check, since player inventories are scanned when you join the team and remove items from the bank. As such, you don't need to worry about legit mode "eating" your items when you drop them to do transfers, or what have you. Although we think that the drop checker is working properly now, even if we do find bugs in the future, they won't be related to the checker deleting items that you've already obtained, so fear not.
Since the Meseta bug has been fixed, the legit checker should not be blocking any drops anymore, though. As a check, if legit mode does block and delete a drop, everyone in the team will see a message (like the one generated by /bstat or a global GM message) saying that the legit checker blocked an item. Since everything seems to be working properly now, you shouldn't see that message, but if you do, let us know. Since this was probably the most severe bug on the server as of late, it's a major victory to finally have it squashed. We can now play with legit mode enabled and not have to fear desynchronization! Woo!
I wrote all this out, as I think it's important to ensure that people understand why bugs were happening. Since the legit checker has had multiple fixes, I hope it is helpful to understand what was happening and how the problems were fixed, so that people can feel safe in using legit mode in the future. With every fix, we get one step closer to having the kind of security in open teams that we've always wanted. Major kudos go out to BlueCrab for this one.
Re: Bug Reports
Oh, wow. You guys fixed that one pretty quick!
Nice work.
It'll be nice to use the /legit command again without any problems.
Should something strange happen though, I'll be sure to let you know.

Re: Bug Reports
A minor bug with the legit checker has been fixed; grind values on ?SPECIAL WEAPON are no longer checked, so as to not mistakenly flag legit rare drops as hacks if the untekked weapon has a grind value disallowed in the weapon's tekked state.
Re: Bug Reports
This might be minor, because not many use v1, or perhaps not, but I've noticed just today that after I start a room in the "Allow PSO V1" format, when I start up a quest, it won't load. It just hangs at the "Quest is loading" screen, and there isn't even a gauge to show progress.
I've tested it with my characters, and on different quests (Endless Nightmare #3, Lost <insert here>) and the quest wouldn't start. However, when I pick "Pso v2 only" or "PSO PC only," it will work. All of this happens whether I'm solo, or with others, which was when I first noticed it this morning (around 11 am EST).
