I'm a staff member on http://www.byond.com/games/ EternalDuelistSoul.DuelMonstersGenesis?tab=index

I'm trying to get a dedicated server running. I have server space with someone who handles other servers on byond.

For some reason, when I host through this server though, I'm getting strange errors I've never seen coming from the game before.

The errors are all along the lines of...

Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/spell/MFC/amazoness_spellcaster) is not defined
Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/spell/MFC/amazoness_spellcaster) is not defined
Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/trap/GENF/EN064) is not defined
Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/spell/MFC/amazoness_spellcaster) is not defined
Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/spell/MFC/amazoness_spellcaster) is not defined
Warning: type read from file (/obj/cards/trap/GENF/EN064) is not defined
BUG: Finished erasure with refcount=2 (ref=5:0) DM (:0)

Now most of these errors are somewhat common for the game. The "Warning: type read from file" error is typical after an update when we move cards around or rename them. The problem is, there wasn't an update any time in the past month. The...

BUG: Finished erasure with refcount=2 (ref=5:0) DM (:0)

is the error I've never seen before. This error is only showing up on my server, I'm certain I have the proper host files. I've tested them locally and they run fine.

But if that doesn't fix it, does anyone have any idea what's causing this? I've already tried restarting the server. I've also tried re-uploading the host files. I and other players get the same errors.

I can't really talk to the game's owner at the moment because they're available so I need to try and get this fixed on my own.

To be honest im not sure if this has anything to do with hosting. It seems to be more an issue in the game because warnings show up usually cause of the game's coding.

Then what coding issue would cause a game to not recognize certain lines in a save file properly when being run in 1 specific server being run on a VPN when those same host files run perfectly fine on other players PC's as well as another player's VPN?

Well when you read it it's saying that the Card "Amazoness_Spellcast" is not define. Now I don't know much about Coding but this probably means the card isn't coded in or something. Im not sure though cause i don't code.

I -KNOW- what that error is from. That's an error that's caused when there's a card in your save file that the game doesn't recognize. The error isn't the issue. The fact that it's happening for no apparent reason is the issue.

So basically someone sav file is corrupt. I'm guessing there isn't going to be a way to fix this except by deleting or removing the sav. Although since its a warning there isn't anything wrong going on. Im saying its okay warnings haven't messed up my games so far..As for it happening for no apparent reason...It is happening for a reason..Or just a guess but try using the card and see if the error pops up..? x,x

It's not a corrupt save file. This is only happening on 1 specific server hosted under specific conditions.

I've already tried using the card. The card can exists in the game perfectly fine. I can re-add the card back to the decks on the server. I can use the card just fine. It just doesn't recognize it.

And the cards it doesnt recognize are different for different players.
