RME 7.6 Server not starting after map save

[Smileback]

As stated above, after a few years i decided to start just mess around with mapping a bit on an old 7.6 server i have laying around. When i save any map changed on Remere's. I am unable to get the server to load back up, i need to completely go back to my backup files to get the server to start back up.

Ive done some research of what i could find on these forms and not much has been answered about it so far. Any help would be great!

Thank you

What map editor does the server say the initial map was mapped with when you load the server?

Also are there any errors showing in the server console?

Ive mapped alot with it using RME before. But this was back maybe 2016-2018. Also the server console closes before i can see any errors displayed.

If you're using windows you can do this

create a batch file using

@Echo ON
:a
"SERVERFILE.exe" /high
goto a

REPLACE SERVERFILE WITH THE NAME OF THE EXECUTABLE

then double click the window even if error repeats and it will pause and then we can see the error.

Might be because you start/close your server while saving your map, or closed your RME while saving, which may soft-corrupt your map file unable to load.

Did you reopen your map in RME?
Did it give you any errors?
If it asks to recover a backup, press yes, and restart server.

Looks like the error it is throwing back is

Failed Loading symbols. otserv.map is not found.

Sounds like potentially a file extension issue? is the new file extension on save being changed to otbm?

the only error i get when loading up the map file is items.xml is missing

The file that is being saved is being save as an .otbm file yes. i did find this on another thread. I dont know if this seems to make sense to anyone else

The map editor is too old you should use Remeres Map editor instead, there you can edit 7.6 without problems just use the right items.otb., but anyway is good see old map editors on the community.

You cant because the rme will put world-houses into map file and u need to use hex editor to remove it or resave with that editor

Hmm, I'm sorry, seems strange, something is certainly missing. Are you compiling the server yourself? Maybe check out this thread

I am having a problem launching the server with the c++ compiler -D__EXCEPTION_TRACER__

The server (I have an auto restarter) crashes the second it starts up and displays the message 'Failed loading symbols. forgottenserver.map not found.'

What exactly do I have to do to go about fixing this problem? xD

This could guide you in the right direction. so originally your map file is .map and your new one is .otbm?

Config.lua make sure .otbm is at the end of the map name.

Like i said everything seemed to work a few years back, and when i import the map to Simone map it works when i make a change, however RME just does not work, i have backup files that everything works smoothly then when i even open the map in RME, hit save (even without making changes) the server will not open. it has to be the way RME is saving the .otbm file i suppose.

Seems so, you will likely have to change some information in the sources and recompile in order to use RME, or find a new distro compatible with your datapack
