Hi,
made the wipe today and after that levels from all players from 8 month are gone. I don´t deleted the data files. Done the same like every month. Data files are there with data. Version 3.1.7
Help would be great to get them back. Thank´s!

Needed several new installation to get them back. Don´t know what happened there.

this is the 3rd thread i've read on this. this can only happen if the files become corrupted. i don't understand why this is so frequent suddenly.

this is the 3rd thread i've read on this. this can only happen if the files become corrupted. i don't understand why this is so frequent suddenly.

it can also happen is there is a major version change (from previous version to this one for instance) and it should be recommended that server owners back up their data files for this and playtimetracker plugin before upgrading either one (or both)
I have had three complete losses of data over the years because i neglected to do so, the only quick fix for it is to make a list of regular players and then when each one logs on type in console
zl.lvl <player name>  * <level number> (-- Sets player level to XX level.
for everything *craft 20)

It wont let you do it by manually adding them to data file (tried many times) its a pain but its better than the players restarting from whatever your basic level setting is,

if you read the plugin front page it says this

"Instead of names you can use wildcard(*):

• * -- affects online players.

• ** -- affects all players.

• Example: zl.lvl Player WC /2 -- Player gets his WC level divided by 2.

• Example: zl.lvl * * 3 -- Everyone currently playing in the server gets 3 for all skills.

• Example: zl.lvl ** * /2 -- Everyone (including offline players) gets their level divided by 2.

@nivex I am also having this issue - a few times now and its kinda a bummer, any ideas?

can post plugin list and config if necessary

I don't understand what could be causing it is the problem. if it's a version change with the config then I can understand how it can potentially happen as that is common when structures change. but it should not be something that continues to happen. it would happen once at most in that case, so that can be ruled out. so what doesn't make sense is it happens repeatedly.

to everyone: do not make duplicate threads please. I will respond to one only. all others have been locked

Had no problems after latest updates. We will see after next wipe. Let u know if it happens.

same here , only had it happen after plugin major update (this and playtimetracker) but not when monthly wipes take place

Whenever this happened, and the file was wiped the first time, I started to copy and paste the old data file back, thinking that the structure didn't change. I'm wiping all levels next forced wipe anyways, so I'll be leaving this data file alone and hopefully it won't mess anything up on the next wipe after forced wipe.

so its not a reoccuring issue? just once?

Not happened to me this wipe.

I'll have to wait until I wipe my server on the 15th. I'll report back and also record the process to ensure that I'm not messing anything up. Will report back.

ok, i've stated in the patch notes that this may happen so people are prepared if they actually read the notes =/

A true optimist   :)

Yep, I wiped the server and the player information stayed just fine.
