Problem - Disconnect with shared bank and converting currency

[Magnuss]

Everytime i go to a Bank, i change all my money in copper, i drop it in Shared PP bank (so all the char of the account have acces to my fortun).
Then i put the copper left in Copper bank, but this part make me go LD.
There is a log somwhere, where i can check what crashed EQ ?

you would/should get a crash dmp in your crash dumps folder (assuming not an overflow crash which sometimes doesn't)



then from that folder to -> reports --- then it would be your most recent .dmp

you can PM it to me (not post here) and i can take a look at it if you like.

I'm trying to recreate the issue now - and if found i'll update with an issue opened on the mq bugs/issues

can you expand on the "convert all currency to copper" I didn't think you could do it that direction (from plat to copper)

you are likely reaching the number limit - which would be an eq crash


have you tried this without mq loaded?

yeah eq appears to only allow me to convert a certain amount of currency into copper - but i can confirm dropping the copper in there appears to disconnect you

In general a "You have been disconnected" is an EQ thing - the server is kicking you --- not an mq crash --- so you wouldn't get a dmp, and it is unlikely (but not impossible) it is an mq thing.

upon returning to the world, it deposited 4030910 into my bank, with some left over on my cursor

let me try depositing some numbers and find out where it happens --- depositing in smaller numbers i'm able to get some pretty large copper values in there

at over 88m copper atm - it appears possibly just a "max amount at one time" thing



/shrug over 600m copper



doesn't appear to be an mq issue as far as i can tell

@brainiac @dannuic or @Knightly might have some better info, however


additional edit #69: it appears doing large values of converting plat forces the server disconnect - i suspect this is to prevent duping --- it appears you can do this with just your own inventory (inside a bank) without using the shared ank portion. convert a bunch of plat to copper for yourself, and then slap it all into gold or plat --- boom disconnected (again appears eq and not mq)

hrm, i think i did discover some fuckery here - something i wouldn't want to share.

I do not think it is worth trying to mess around -> find out with seeing if you can gain this.

Ehh I’ve never tried it with copper but there is a well known issue that a certain number seem to remember it being a billion (but could be 10 billion) even in PP will crash (platt is plentiful given you can copy ot test). If you are converting to copper thats likely hitting that cap.

 

[brainiac]

Can’t have over 2 billion of a currency or server will disconnect you. This is known

yeah for sure and likely what is happening here - there are probably some other conversion things that trigger it as well as one of the disconnects was depositing the "remainder" into gold (which would have been under 2B)

whatever the case it, pretty sure this isn't anything to do with mq

the original post was something like "May be a bug" with a description that said they put the remainder copper in the shared slot --- which was what i was able to duplicate with personal and bank - which would have been less than 2B of that particular currency

I do not change a fortun in copper bank, 1 to 999 copper maximum.

That’s odd Then. Could be a bug but I guess my question is why asre you turning it to copper?

I keep 200'000 PP on every chars, so they can pay food, drink, mercs, etc...
When i reach a bank, i remake the balance to 200K & put the extra money in PP shared bank.
There is 1 to 999 copper left, i leave them in copper bank. This action disconnect me to the server selection page.
If i try to log in a server, i am disconnected again (i must restart EQ).

The goal, keep my fortune in PP shared bank, so any char of the account can buy something expensif if i need to do it. If i am in a group, at the other border of the world, i ever can log an alt in PoK. Buy something and return to the group without have to cross the world 2 time.

Yup.

That's why I said the stuff I said, because I was able to replicate it.

Appears to be an eq thing, likely to prevent duping

I was repplying to Naeeldar.

This is an EQ bug and not related to MQ2.

SOLVE : EQ bug fixed by a later patch.
