FIXED SOS constantly resetting

[Kestrel]

I'm getting pretty annoyed with this, I open my mibs and store them in a chest in four bags with the directions on. Every day after restart all of the mibs have reset and I have to sort them again! I thought maybe it was because they were in a chest, but I used to store them in a chest on Europa and they took 30 days to reset. So I started 4 days ago storing them in my backpack in 4 bags one for each direction, hoping this would stop them resetting, no it did not! They shouldn't be resetting every day, this is driving me insane.

I had a decoded SOS in my backpack.

I attach a screenshot of it 'Before' the server restart, and another 'After'.

As you can see, the location changed.

The item id did not change: 0x400F51ED.

Same has happened with mine and 1/2 of them are over land as well.

 

[Kestrel]

I haven't had any that were on land as yet, but they all reset every server restart, no matter where they are stored. On OSI I think it took 30 days for them to reset, is that right? @Xeno

I had one in the middle of Brit. I was hoping that it was in the canal but it was in the tailor shop.

If we can't figure it out shortly I will simply be reverting the changes made from a few days ago when this started.

 

[Kestrel]

@Dan I'm not sure when you made the changes but this has been happening to me for about a week, I noticed it a couple of days after I started getting a good supply of mibs, after I started doing it right....
To be honest at first I thought I had sorted them out wrong or was going nuts.

 

[Dan]

Yeah we are looking into it.

If they always reset then it is what it is.

Even treasure maps reset every so often to account for stuck locations and such.

 

[Dan]

I just tested on an older copy of RunUO too. They have always reset after a time.

We will buy some on Atlantic and see if they reset or not.

 

[Xeno]

SOS do not reset on OSI. I separate them by the 9 areas and I can go there anytime and fish them up, even after some have sat a year.

However treasure maps do reset on OSI. They reset every 30 days. Maybe the SOS and Treasure Maps are intertwined somehow on the same timer?

 

[Dan]

Yeah, we are working to get SOSs to match production and stop reseting.

I just misspoke when I thought it was related to recent changes, it isn't. Seems to have been there always.

Also looking to code a "reset" timer regardless for any that have spawned with land locations instead of water.

 

[Kestrel]

@Xeno I did wonder if SOS ever reset, I thought maybe they did after 30 days but now you mention it I'm pretty sure I had one for under the volcano on fire island and it never reset.
Thank you @Dan for looking into this, it was making me really mad LOL

 

[Dan]

At the moment we have it coded now to reset every 30 days still. This is to deal with locations that are bugged at the moment. However, I am looking into it with @Argalep now that it is limited to a few smaller regions if we can remove the re-set timer altogether.

 

[Dan]

At the moment we will be keeping the re-sets on a 30 day timer.

This issue has been fixed.
