Too much inventory--big problem for nwserver

[Lokey]

Game's pretty sensitive to certain things, and behavior from it isn't reproducible. Crashing the server affects us all and is possible from this.

The problem file size is a little over a MB for a character file, and most of that is inventory. At a rough estimate, a page of coffers filled with single pane items like spell scrolls, dyes or gems is going to weigh in at about 500kB (35 panes per coffer/box, can fit 15 per page, 1-1.5kB per item). Bigger stuff is similar file size, you can just fit less of it of course.

These are/probably will be a problem: (account/file name--so you'll have to figure out which it is)

These be cautious with, you can get there with a few bags of spells/whatnot:

  ./Cahaal/erigdushhns.bic
  ./sagmanners/haulzalot.bic
  ./Herridox/girth.bic
  ./alasteir mule/goldandjewelry.bic

It's easy/fast for me to check on this, just ask. I know some of these are inactive, it's not a problem unless they login. It's preferable you don't keep too many characters in the same account as well (these all have to be loaded and a short-form transmitted to you on login).

In case you're not aware, you can export your character. Options menu, top right is save character. It goes into the localvault folder of where nwn is installed, sort by date to find it. Anything over say 900kB should be put on a diet.

Anyway, this needs to be sorted. We know it's not malicious, but logging in these characters the first job is to get them out of the cause problems for everyone status they're in.

Interesting. So if we are the owner of one of the problem files, do we need to get rid of some of the stuff on that toon?

get rid of or shuffle it to somewhere else...your mule account gets too big and it will kill the server


then we have to wipe to make sure we got it all

Here's the current list of definitely a problem:

• ./Potofeu/bugdushsendzek.bic
  ./HomerSaysDoh/z-magicmule.bic
  ./BlkMamba_/mamba'sbar-maidt.bic
  ./Figurative/sunderio.bic
  ./Steel Kitten/dyes.bic
  ./Steel Kitten/reaverrr1.bic
  ./habencheese/brigette.bic
  ./Cheeserules18/ridushrish.bic
  ./Deadeyes1/lolinclet.bic
  ./Deadeyes1/groundpounderpwn.bic
  ./Deadeyes1/pwndbythesandman.bic
  ./Deadeyes1/porter.bic
  ./ododo/takhispwnd.bic
  ./alasteir mule/goldandjewelry.bic

Cat and kitten started on it, but in shuffling stuff, created new problem characters Deadeye is working on his as well. Fury should divide their dye mule, it's getting there. Sagmanner's mule also close...

If your character is in the list and you log that character on, first priority is to reduce inventory on it, yes frog.
