Items invisible after death? PluginMetrics & Items grouping?

When people die on my server, they're items aren't visible, but they can still pick them up if they walk over where they died. This is a real problem, I'm not sure if it's due to Bukkit, plugins or Minecraft in general...

I'm running bukkit #1781 for 1.1.

There's also a plugin called 'PluginMetrics', does anybody know what this is?

Another thing is items now group together when dropped? Is that an update within Bukkit or Minecraft? I have no plugins that enable this options, I'm not complaining... Less lag. Just wondering when this happened?

Thanks.

 

hmm i think you use no lag or ptweaks or any other plugin that lower lag on server cause i got same bug and idk how to fix that but i know if you reconnect you will see ur items works too for other players

and item stocking up is for no lag or Ptweaks idk which 1 do it

and im not sure if this bug is cause of 1 of that 2 plugins

 

plugin metrics is used by some plugins to track the usage of that plugin, you can disable it and normally the plugin should have stated that it is using it..

the rest i don't know without seeing a list of your plugins.

 

ZeroZX4 Yeah I know what you mean. I'm not using any of those plugins... So I'm not sure what's causing the items to group together... Or for the items to be invisible. I know if you log out and back in it usually fixes it, but it's annoying having to do that...

Plugin list:

LogBlock
LogBlockQuestioner
PermissionsEx
Permissions
WorldEdit
WorldGuard
Modifyworld
Lockette
CommandBook
ChatManager
DynMap
Orebfuscator

I have no idea what's causing this, unless it's some bug within this version of bukkit?

Oh thanks, will it slow my server down at all?

 

than i would say worldguard or worldedit since its the only plugins we both have

i think it can slow ur server but neither u or your players will be able to feel it

i think it would only if you got tons of items lieing on the ground for example if you make pvp area and players go there and kill them self losing all inv but i think even if that would be 50 players they would need to kill them self very fast with full inv since items disappear from the ground automatically there is no big treat to your server lag lvl

 

Does it happen all the time or only sometimes? It's a rather normal SMP bug for the items to be invisible sometimes after death. Usually logging in and out will solve it.

 

chaseoes Thanks, I'll give it some testing now, both with few items and a lot. I'll get back to you in around 10 minutes.

UPDATE: It seems to happen ALL the time, but after a few tests it seems once you're in close proximity to the items, after 20-30 seconds they just reappear. Still quite annoying, it could be what ever is grouping the items into stacks that's causing it maybe?

Does nobody know what's causing these too happen?

Invisible items after death

I REALLY need to fix this, I have players loose items all the time from dying...

nope.. it will send ping when you reload the plugins, start or stop the server... otherwise it doesn't do a lot.

 

I get problems with items dissapearing on my SP and MP. It's very confusing.

 

I think I've found the items merging together issue, it's an option in bukkit.yml:

'item-merge-radius' was set too 3.5, I've changed it to 0. Maybe that was causing the items to go invisible? I'll come back when I know..

It turns out I'm running 'CraftBukkitPlusPlus'? What is that?

I'm not sure if this is the cause of the items going invisible after death, I fixed the item grouping but items still disappear. I'd really like to fix this ASAP.

Code:

23.01 17:59:06 [Server] INFO Random Lighting Updates: false

How do I fix it? I'm using a hosting service, so will I have to ask them to put a custom .jar up and just re-up the latest bukkit dev?

And with ci.bukkit.org being down, how and where do I download the latest dev builds from? Thanks.

well you can ask them if they can switch jar files but be sure to ask them 1st can they make backup copy otherwise i would not even care to ask them to switch

 

ZeroZX4 Thanks, I've asked. I just have to wait and see now...

Do you have any idea what CraftBukkit++ is?

"This server is running Craftbukkit version git-Bukkit-jenkins-CraftBukkit++-19 (MC: 1.1) (Implementing API version 1.1-R1-SNAPSHOT)"

 

i have no idea what it is but i know how to google

ZeroZX4 Thanks, I've actually tried googling it, only to get to the CI site of it. Now I've read up and contacted my hosting service, it seems this isn't the issue with items disappearing on death.

It's a serious issue, sometimes the items totally vanish and you're not able to pick them up. My players and I have all lost countless items due to this. I don't really see it being an issue with any of my plugins either, I've used them before...

Thanks for trying though..

EDIT: It seems when I watch a player die, I still see their items, it's only AFTER they click the respawn button the items vanish, but if I died and respawned. The items wouldn't be visible...

Nobody has this issue too? Really?

I can't see ANYTHING that could be causing it... Help?
