ok i type *showjehowned and it says the name and the building type in brackets like (invalid building type) where it used to say something like (town plinth) if it was a town!
here is an example:
ToP Town of Pimps (invalid building type,)

only said it in last few days like the other reports!

Tom,

Nice to see you making so much work for Mit. Keeping 'im busy, eh?

Anyways, I seem to be getting an awful lot of Invalid Building Type messages as well. Which isle is this on? Which gate is this connected to? More info needed please.

-M

tut tut!
some people are never happy!

on Eville... connected to Oceanic.... Hosted by Zaroba

and this (invalid building type,) doesnt come up if you go to the building like on matts isle! but it says it if you do a *showowned or *showjehowned

ok anything else?

Matt's isle is connected to the Zoric gateway. I'd speak to yer hoster when he comes back about this - see if the buildings list contains any buildings that do not exist (For all we know, this could corrupt everything).

I'm not sure if this would be a good idea, but you could (In other words, get Zar to do this

) remove all buildings from the list and re-add them all - See what that does. Remember to make a backup before tho.

If no worky, post here and I'll try to think of something else to do, before giving up and letting Mit answer your question.

What i saw so far on eville is that production stopped and you cant stock your buildings nor your home (it always returns the msg: Only items that are demanded or sold here can be stocked.)
Also it seems to have drained up every food i got in my house (which wasnt only a bit but around 200 BBs, some lamb chops and steaks) at once (probably thats the reason why most players died).

Hmm say tom - do you take a copy of the top10 list before reseting the island? (I am asking this cause i am ranked #2 now

)

Tom · Post by **Tom** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 4:04 pm

erm...
NO reset means... reset! complete wipe, everything!!!
gone foreva.

anyway back to topic...
i didnt know that it was sucking uyp the stuff in the houses, thnx for posting p3g.
im still wondering what could have cause the "Invalid building" thing. its not on the oceanic gate. so its not hedge. not on all zar hosted isles... i think. so what would have caused it happening to an individual isle????

Mattizme · Post by **Mattizme** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 4:24 pm

Genrally it looks like a corrupt server. Like you said when Zar gets back, give it a good ol' whippin round. Is time progressing normally, cos speeded up time would make it gobble food.

just did a complete export of the island, will send it when my main e-mail is back.

all the building names on the island appear, but, they don't in the gateway window. reconnected it and they still don't show on the gateway side. closed and reopened the island and building lists appear fine. perhaps the in-game trouble is solved too.

*showjehowned ingame shows no invalid buildings nor do i see any errors while driving around.

Looks like we got the "invalid building" error on valhalla now 2 ... when i joined my mansion was a fuel station and apart from that building (and i think another 2 types) every building is invalid and leads to closing a-tractor when pressing ctrl.

Any idea what leads to that error and how it could possibly be fixed?

zaroba · Post by **zaroba** » Mon Oct 27, 2003 2:42 pm

close and reopen fixed it for eville quite easily, has to be an actual close and reopen. recycle diden't help it at all.
no idea what exactly causes it.
