Regarding @whodrops Issues

Post by Koma »

There's no reason to be alarmed here. No broken drops or missing items or crazy new items exist.

This has been caused by a mistake done during the buff icon implementation for the Cursed Water and Elemental Converter items: the items weren't being consumed originally but were still giving the stat buff. In order to correct the issue in real-time, development was forced to do an @reloaditemdb. The server core (eA) dislikes these, so when a reload is done like that, it breaks @whodrops functionality until the next reboot. Wool (the test server) did not get this fix and runs the same code as when we did this week's maintenance, for those curious about how things changed and if it worked previously.

This means that without another reboot, @whodrops will be non-functional. This will be corrected upon the next maintenance period of course, unless there's a necessary emergency to reboot of course.

EDIT: Andrue has informed me that an @reloadmobdb would solve this issue, and so it has been done. Thanks!
