Can't login?

i really doubt it's a mod, though.

 

Well.. if someone uses the Super Matter Manipulator from the Creative mod the whole server chugs, so why is it not possible for other modded tools to be doing the same? I think it could be a mod that someone is using. I don't mean just having the mod installed, I mean to say someone us using an item the server is not optimized for and so it lags/crashes. I ran a server a long time and I know when it has to read what the client is doing with a mod tool it cant identify the tool and has to use more of its processing for that object, thus why mod tools lag servers. That is how it went for me at least. If not then the server has some major issues backed up.

 

Are these frequent login errors and connection drops par for the course on this server? I just joined two days ago and I've only been able to stay connected in 20 minute intervals at a time, at best. At worst I get dropped and am unable to log back in for indiscernible lengths of time.

I play on another server sometimes that's run off the admin's in-house machine and the only problems we experience are lag-spikes and chat relay hitching. It has a smaller population, and I realize you guys allow a lot more players in at once. I'm also not trying to make the "but they do it, so why not you?!" comparison. I'd just like to know if this is a common thing to Starbound since I've only been doing multiplayer for a week or two.

 

Crashes? Yes. login errors? No. From my experience anyways.

 

Going by my own basis of comparison (paid server, decent pop, lots of restrictions on mods), lag is unavoidable and crashes will definitely happen occasionally (especially as you get closer and closer to scheduled server restart time). I can't say I've experienced login issues before now, though. It makes me wonder if the last patch fixed some of the memory leaks at the expense of... well, everything else server-related.

 

my music files do you mean ABCs or the other kind?

 

How about telling new people who just got their applications approved to download the two packs as a requirement to play on the server?

 

Well, I suppose a community music pack would be fine so long as its just ABCs. I have plenty to contribute to it. And the modpack is great, everyone should be using it anyway.

 

Speaking as someone who's very new to the server, I would not be opposed to a required download of assets or mods in the slightest! If, in some small way, this helps to reduce server strain, who am I to object? Maybe it's not a popular opinion, but I don't think others would mind either. Seems a fair compromise for such a nice community.

In any case, it's one of the many things that will be eventually improved once Chucklefish makes server-to-client customization more seamless. In the mean time, well, we should all cooperate to make things better for everyone!

 

I can't see a issue with downloading assets, as long as there's two things to think about.

Updating the mods, will be nearly impossible (as, again it would create a mismatch), until Chucklefish finally maker the client and server able to share assets and mods to ensure they both understand each other, thus one would more or less have to make -one- final version, and wait for chucklefish to get their updates out before updating them.

The Assets would have to be easily downloaded and the application would require a confirmation of having downloaded said mods.

How would this policy "fully customized ships?" (i recommend testing is done).

I also am not sure, but i believe people may be modding weapons and other things (armor stats for instance). using a specific tool found on the net, I tested this tool but i never brought the modified weapons onto the server, and deleted them after confirming it works in SP.

however that could possible cause the same issue, with the server not recognizing the weapon as one of its randomly generated weapons. or the edited armors as a armor in the game, causing same issue.

 

(Can't edit here) its to note that the fully customized ships most likely produced the least of these errors if at all, due to the fact that people rarely jump to each others ships, and most have it. I'm not sure how the mod works, but i do believe it infact only removes the existing ship, thus not really modifying the rules of the space, so may cause no errors at all.

 

I'm currently having trouble logging in, I've triple-checked each of the login fields and I'm still getting the usual "failed to login" message. Even after the server reset it just doesn't want to work. Any ideas?

 

try restarting the game, or restarting your computer. that usually works for me.

 

I've restarted the game several times, even removed the character I had just created to see if that was messing it up.

...but I suppose I should try restarting the computer.

 

Restart didn't help. ( Where's my edit button? D: )

 

I recommend mod digest, implement the RP chat mod ( i couldn't live without that), The vanity mod, a music mod (community), and one customizable ship mod ( i recommend the FCS mod, byt Princeofmar5) combine it all into one big pack, and give the link to everyone who wants to join, i mean, everyone goes through a application to join, no way they cant spent the 5 minutes to DL it, then update it weekly or so if necessary, this would solve our mod synch, and permit modding, without causing errors as i understand it).

Perhaps throw in as block spawning mod like SIP, for those whom loves building ( like me) wrap it all into one download link rather than 6-7, then it should be easy eh ?
