Server save not working

[Spratt]

Okay so my server save is not working properly.

Here is my data/globalevents/golbalevents.xml/save

<globalevent name="save" interval="900000" event="script" value="save.lua"/>

And here is my save.lua

 for var = 1,3 do
		if var == 1 then
			doBroadcastMessage("Saving server...") --- this appears before server freeze...
		end
		if var == 2 then
			doSaveServer() --- freeezee....
		end
		if var == 3 then
			doBroadcastMessage("Done.") --- no more lag!
		end
	end

What do I gotta do to make it work. Please I need help fast

Does it work when u do /save in game?


And did you edit this in config.lua?

	-- Global save
	globalSaveEnabled = false
	globalSaveHour = 8
	shutdownAtGlobalSave = true
	cleanMapAtGlobalSave = false

-- Global save	
globalSaveEnabled = false	
globalSaveHour = 8	
globalSaveMinute = 0	
shutdownAtGlobalSave = true	
cleanMapAtGlobalSave = false

and /save works in game.

replace save.lua with this.

local config = {
	broadcast = {120, 30},
	shallow = "no",
	delay = 120,
	events = 30
}

config.shallow = getBooleanFromString(config.shallow)

local function executeSave(seconds)
	if(isInArray(config.broadcast, seconds)) then
		local text = ""
		if(not config.shallow) then
			text = "Full s"
		else
			text = "S"
		end

		text = text .. "erver save within " .. seconds .. " seconds, please mind it may freeze!"
		doBroadcastMessage(text)
	end

	if(seconds > 0) then
		addEvent(executeSave, config.events * 1000, seconds - config.events)
	else
		doSaveServer(config.shallow)
	end
end

function onThink(interval)
	if(table.maxn(config.broadcast) == 0) then
		doSaveServer(config.shallow)
	else
		executeSave(config.delay)
	end

	return true
end

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
	if(table.maxn(config.broadcast) == 0) then
		doSaveServer(config.shallow)
	else
		executeSave(config.delay)
	end

	return true
end

in globalevents.xml

<globalevent name="save" interval="32190000" event="script" value="save.lua"/>

works for me, but maybe you wanna use yourown there but anyway
