[0.14.0][MP] Player cannot be kicked or banned

Post by yfcz »

Hello,

I tried to kick and ban player. But both commands failed. Player I tried to kick is AFK for hours and his figure is running to the east all the time. He is stuck but still running.
Maybe player is not connected for real to server and his

On attached screenshot you can see that kick command was executed but you can see that player is still in the game (top right part of map). This is not due to missing admin rights.

The first kick command was performed between server time 6851 and 6861.

Log is attached.

-----------------

Today I found out that other players (except Organist) who can be seen on screenshot above are „hanging“ in the game.

They are not connected for sure but their characters are visible.
When I type /p command it marks them as online. But server description in public game browser does'n count them.

I see it quite common on my server that players leave the server but their characters remain visible. Currently there is like nine such „ghosts“.

It also happened that such ghost player connected back and there were two players with same nick (ghost was idle after his connection).

If I try to execute these commands, error is displayed. Same with this command: /c game.removeofflineplayer("username")

Error is:
Cannot execute command. Error: LuaGameScript doesn't contain key removeofflineplayer.

Also I see that these ghosts are created when players connect after desyncs only (at least on my server).

I made a more rigid logic of assigning players to peers, so it shouldn't happen in 0.14.4
