1.7.7.1 cloning glitch.

[Innuce 0]

I have an idea to fix this problem now.  It doesn't prevent the clone glitch, but prevents being able to loot it.  All I need is help implementing the script.  It's an old script that just needs some tweaks I'm not familiar with.

Won't stop the other duping method, but at least there won't be clones all over to loot anymore.

 

Anyone out there interested in supporting this game still?  The game will be playable again once we can eliminate (or at least make it harder) the duping.

Does anyone know how to use the "setUnitPos" command?

 

It seems to me, if you could insert that command to force the player to kneel or go prone before disconnect, it would solve that form of cloning/duping.

I seem to dupe every time I log out (yes doing it the proper way!). It's very strange though as only I can see the duped character! What's even stranger is I can see other players logged bodies standing while friends I'm with cant. Driving through Stary fields last night saw a guy stood in the field told mateto stop. Shot the guy but no reaction. Started running over and mate thought i was mad. He could see him at all.

What's that about!?

Same thing happens to me. My co-admin cannot see the clones, but I can.

I have seen people clone themselves multiple times to gear up their ammo and give stuff to friends.

This is the single worst bug in the game. Yet nobody seems to care?  I have the answer to fix this, but it's frustrating because I lack the scripting skills to implement it.

It is annoying when you log out near your camp only to come back later and find a dupe stood in the open near your tents like a beacon! Only made that mistake once!

Have you tried the suggestions section?

Maybe the point is they shouldn't be releasing patches to a game that was great to begin with...

...That's my random rant in the middle of a random thread that could probably have it's own thread but whatevs.

 

I want to reply but I agree we don't need some whining thread, this will be off topic but never-mind.

 

I agree the patch has been hard to deal with, mostly the incredibly high infection rate and low antibiotics spawn rate (and loot spawn rate in general). However, I have still managed to adapt to it and have a *little* bit of fun from it here and there, but I agree with you, the patch has ruined many aspects of DayZ I used to love. On the other hand, I believe the problem is in the fact that there are little to no full servers to play vanilla dayz (or similar), literally there is maybe 10 ridiculous 500 car servers, self bloodbag to 1 standard dayz server, and that 1 server has 4 people in it. Maybe it is because people like you are playing the old patch? That's a good idea, I might revert in a bit. I play on a server with 30 players each evening, it has a few custom buildings, e.g. barracks at NEA, and I find that more enjoyable, because it is still the normal dayz with some extras. That is the only private, decent server I can find. There is maybe 1 more but it is a russian server. This is after MyDayZ closed (the best game servers we ever had, who are now waiting for standalone to possible restart their servers).

The good news is, the cloning doesn't actually happen until you log on. But it's somehow tied to how you log off. You can see it in the RPT file. Some kind of syncing error.

There's 2 ways to fix this. Fix the root cause that's associated with logging off, or fix it as you log on (deleting standing corpses in the vicinity).

It seems that "fixes" don't help.  The issue definitely seems to be server lag related.  I've only been playing Dayz for a few weeks.  I hopped into a server the other day that was lagging bad.  I disconnected to hop onto another server that was working better, but instead I accidentally reconnected to the same server.  When I logged back in I was standing next to my standing corpse.

 

The server had Dupe-Fix in the server name as well.

This is not the same issue then, Razor only give the fix when players disconnect. (Error on the RPT)

The game is currently broken until this is fixed. I can go on any server I want and duplicate my gear.

 

On my own server, with low ping, and being the only person online, I can reliably dupe items. Even with the "fix". The idea anyone can come onto a server and do the same, kind of ruins the whole experience doesn't it?

 

This is arguably the worst bug in the game. I'd almost rather have a hacker on my server. At least I can do something about that. Fact is, anyone can exploit this bug. You don't need to be a "hacker" to do it. Also it's hard to distinguish between people who "accidently" dupe themselves from the exploiters.

Super agreed.  in a game where items are supposed to be rare, and part of the survival is trying to find the items you need to survive, being able to turn say, 1 antibiotics to 10 without even doing anything (ie hacking etc) other than logging off and back on is a major issue.

Yes its just a logging system. You can edit without any worrys

n00b question here...what can we expect to see and in which log do we look for this log?

Thnks for your dedication.
