What version of TFS are you using?
, Crashing in 40 ~ 60 minutes of online
You can use a debugging tool to fetch detailed crash logs, if its not an obvious LUA error you can report it to https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver
Quick tutorial (LINUX):
First install gdb. If you're running debian-alike (like Ubuntu, Debian, etc), you can do this with
(use sudo if ubuntu)
Now load TFS into the debugger (Make sure your are in OT directory)
You will see 10-20 lines as gdb loads the server binary into memory, followed by the prompt:
#### (gdb)
Now type: run
And the OT should start.
At this point your server is running.
Now you just wait for the server to eventually crash, you will see something like this:
After the crash gdb will wait for you to type a command. Now to get to the actual useful part which makes it easier for TFS developers to fix, type "bt full":
This will dump loads of information which the TFS devs can use to find the error. Copy this, open an issue on their github page, send it there and they will probably fix much quicker than usual.
When you have reported the bug, you can quick gdb with "quit" command.
And you are done. Repeat these instructions to start it again and look for another error.
