problem with NPC and plants Respawning

Okay, so I have a problem with my server, that is a cross-play server, now the problem is that standard vanilla NPC grids are not spawning in, only occasional few, maybe maximum of five spawn in on the map, and also the vegetation does not spawn in for some strange reason. Now, yes, I do have mods, and I don't know if any of the mods are causing the problem, maybe due to the new hotfix update, I don't know.


so i would like some help or understanding this so that my server is good too play on

ask anything and i will try and send it copy of my sbc files logs so on


but here is a list of mods i have and yes i have mods made by some of my members so i have not got the full details

but 1 i did make was the respawn rover mod but i tested this and all NPC and plants spawn in no problem


hud-modern-and-fancy-color

elite-survivors-multi-rover-spawn-mod

3lit3-survivors-music-mod

tiered-blocks

awp-elite-survivors

rebels-lights1

3lit3-survivors-additional-server-functions

consolidation-propulsions

3lit3-survivors-store-neon

edp-more-lighting-options

edp-more-logistics-options

flares-speed-mod-odyssey-edition


ALL ARE MOD.IO


if the server is all vanilla then yes no problem

but thats no good if i would like too have a server that was custom too my discord moto


this was all ok before the 2 updates now it seams too be broken or mods just cant be used with the new Update


i have spent over 5 days trying too fix this but am limited due too it being a GTXgaming server i have uninstalled server rebuilt it tested server 1 mod at a time it was good till the server stays running for some time it all stops


also not happy about your discord as i do not get any replies about this problem from any of your admins or dev team.

Try removing the addition server functions mod. This by name alone would be my first potential culprit. Id follow by removing additional elite mods. I looked at them on mod.io and they do not have any information on what they do to the game.

yeah i understand where you are coming from and some of they mods do sound abit odd and no info about them but am sure they are only small mods that only deal with LCDs as we have a custom back grounds for safezones and LCDs faction logos and am sure the modders just called it addition server functions mod


but yeah i was going too remove all the mods and try see if things spawn in again


but lets say its not the mods what else can it be ? am i limited too my settings for the world for crossplay ???

also i did see my TRASHFLAGVALUE omg this number is big 11000 and odd i tryed too set this to be 7000 and something


its very aggressive clean up system with that 11k value

There is no information because it is one of the core mods of the server. This mod adds icons and textures to safezones and faction icons, as well as adds a mod from AQD Markings, everything worked before that. So I can assure you that the mod is normal.

If it works with out mods and not with, i can assure you, mods are the problem. Anything named server side functions sounds like it is doing things, More then adding some pictures to the game which is why i picked, it.

As for the clean up, what is that value related too. I don't recall that flag in the games sbc code or in the f10 menu. Additionally, if your setting something to a lower value and it keeps getting set high, either one of your configs is wrong, or a mod is intentionally doing this. Again, making mods the problem.

i removed mod and the plants started too come back so yes i will say a mod was messing with plants spawns

but the NPCs did not come back at all so i then did the MES mod with 3 NPCs spawn styles and this boosted the spawns but it almost took 1 night for them too come back but what i did forget too mention is that the jetpacks and ships fuel would not deplete it was like they had unlimited fuel almost like the server was stuck in creative and survival.


what bugs me the most is that the mods we used all worked just fine till the new HOTFIX and thats when all things gone wrong i would really like too fully read the new hotfix info and what they did as i did see something about steam UI and spawn


spawn of what is making me wonder the most

but anyways i got GTXgaming too fix me a new reinstall of the server i have it running right now with only music and rover spawn mod thats it and it looks all good for now.


yes the trshflagvalues is the odd 1 i was not able too change this number too a lower number and last time i checked it i may have said it was 11k but no it was 110206 and has far is what i can find about trashflags was how the system sees and cleans grids and so on the higher the number the more aggressive the clean up is.


so yes there was something big going on with the server and i dont understand how it happend

also the jetpack thing changed its behaver when server was running me and 3 others was playing on server and 1 of my guys said there is something odd and cool about jetpacks fuel not going down even though it was going down 10 mins before he said this too us.


i really do like that keen still is working on this game and keeping it upto date the best they can but if a HotFix is going too mess with mods that do not get updated since 2021 then its going too kill the console servers till someone can change or updated the old mods.

and at that point no console player will rent a server as they will just play keen servers it be a shame it would make me move for sure so i hope something can be sorted with that some kinda mod support system for the game not meaning like a chat or anything more like code where the game sees mods but will be freely change how it behaves and when mod is removed too change back too the default config files that was set by the host or owner of the server and refresh any files that the mod was changing too go back too default.
