dedicated server spawn location problem

[theanimal]

Hi Team!

 

After the server was moved, the buildings disappeared. Unfortunately, one of the players built on the water and that was the last place he exited the game. Now he cannot log in to the server. Probably because the spawn location of the character is on water. How can I rewrite the spawn point location for that one character? What solution can you suggest? Thanks for your help and work.

If you know where they built out over the water, you could go out there as an admin and rebuild a platform to allow them to spawn in on. Then destroy the platform. However, floors placed directly on water tiles can not be destroyed. So hopefully they were at least one level up.  At least I have not been able to destroy them. 

 

Otherwise do what Beard said.

I think at this point I would just offer a character refund, give back skills and important items as an admin, I am not sure how to go around this issue. You would have to edit the player database and perhaps change the spawn location there, but that would be more effort than spawning items and a few skills.

 

Thanks for the tips.

Where can I get the incorrect character inventory stock and skill information? 

 

@CaptKaspar

I will try, good idea

It'll be difficult to decipher, but you can look in C:>Users>"Username">Zomboid>Saves>Multiplayer>servertest>players. Someone with greater knowledge than me will have to tell you how to parse out the info you need from that, but it looks like its potentially all in there. 

 

We had a character just fall over and die without explanation recently. Not kidding, it was like they were sniped in the head. The player was engaged with some zombies. Their weapon broke so they backed away to equip a backup. Then all of a sudden they died and there was a big puddle of blood around their head. They were at least 50yds from any players or zombies when changing weapons. I saw it all happen. We thought well maybe they some how got bit/scratched by a zombie? But they left no trail of blood and they died within seconds of leaving the fight. Would need pretty massive blood loss for that. Then the body never reanimated. So it wasn't the zombies that got him. We don't play PvP and its on a private server with just friends, so it wasn't someone shooting. But bam just like that they were dead. 

 

So, that player we allowed them to make a new character and we used the mighty admin powers to restore them as close as possible to what they were before. It wasn't exact, but it was close enough. If we unintentionally gave them more than what they actually had, oh well, its the cost of the hassle to have to go through that.
