Here is a report fillout to keep this understandable.

1. What map(s) did it happen on?
2. Did it happen after death or notice it immediatly when joining the map?
3. Do your weapons and/or pickup items return when you try cycling through them OR if you wait some time?
4. Is your HUD visible (health readout, wep+ammo bar readout, etc.) or is it not showing? When the HUD is not showing then your inventory usually won't either.
5. Did you lose ALL of your inventory except for the translator OR did you only have the default given items? Loosing everything except the translator can be the steal protection, and losing everything except the default given items could mean some type of travel issue.
6. Was your scoreboard score reset to zero? A zero score can be a second indication the steal protection stripped you or not.
7. Does reconnecting WITHOUT changing names or changing computers make the inventory return?

Keep these questions in mind and try your best to answer them fully when such events occur. If you want to take snap shots take pictures of the HUD (normal view) and the scoreboard. Personally the only problems I've ever had is what I mentioned in numbers 3 - 4, and that's somthing you can see in other mod servers on rare occasions when there is network congestion or lag.

Hyper, I'm curious about what U packages you specified in the server's 'ServerPackages' array. Do you have wooper/klingon U packages that contain wooper inventory in it and listed in the array? If not then maybe doing that may prevent any possible loading issues that may can solve this.

I have all the klingon stuff added to the server packages, because the server refused to start without them linked.

If those Klingon maps keep giving problems I'll remove them. But I never have been stripped myself there.

But be sure to answer Zombies question list when reporting the problem.

uhm, i think you are the victim of something called "weekly reset" if that still exists

I have to take a look at the server monitor, but probably an automatic reset after crash.

Well, not weekly now but way longer.
And mind that no server can just run for like a year without a crash. :p

It WAS a crash. After around 2 weeks uptime, which is quite nice for an Unreal 1 coop server.

When I was on The Source level (noone else) I wanted to get some frags but after I killed The Queen I got killed (not disconnected). Then I came to the lair again (not reconnected), killed Exorist and then timed out. Then I connect again (without changing anything). When I connected again I was on NyLeve Falls level with 0 score and 0 frags. Also all my inventory (all[25+] weapons, all my items [HHG, iceage, guide, transporter, jetpack, invisibility, spiderlegs, 5 belts, jmarinesuit, simple armor, fart boots, repositioner, shockfield, aura regeneration, starshield, aura scuba, aura dampener]) erased, only default weapons and default inventory left

. How can I get my inventory and frags (which I collected 15+ days) back??? . It happened 6:04 (GMT +2) at 07.03.2007. P.S: Becouse of that I dont want to play HyperCoop like wanted 2 hours ago

This has every indication of a server crash (after which it automatically restarts). You can not get your inventory nor your score back.

OH NO!
Do you mean all inventories are stored on server?
And if other crash occurs i will lose everything again?

Hyper · Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2007 4:00 pm Post subject:

Yes, when you play on any Unreal coop server, your inventory is saved in the RAM memory of the server. Not on the disk and not on the client.

This means that when the Unreal server program is being shut down, restarted or experiences a crash, the saved information will be lost. I do have measures to lengten the time between restarts, like I spent a few years of evolutionary research to find out which mods and tools work fine on the server and which ones do not. I also have a UPS to be able to survive small power outages and fluctuations.

But still you should be prepared to be reset somewhere between every week and every month.
