Posted Jan 10, 2012I was having an issue where the server would lock up and use massive amounts of CPU, and all player connections would be lost if anyone used /sync.
The issue was resolved by deleting database* (anything with database in the name) in the OKB3 directory, and restarting the server(s).

Posted Jan 8, 2012I had one of the moderators /fban a non-registered user (which usually will not allow) but it went through and banned the user... but now.. every time a moderator or anyone types /funban on ANYONE the whole server totally crashes. Not a simple error, but total server crash.
Help would be highly appreciated.

I think the web files are only for 'Secure' Mode. if running in normal i don't think you need them. I hope some one also helps me with my question if there is a tutorial out there any where.

Posted Dec 30, 2011Yeah, ever since I installed this plugin on my server, I've been experiencing period lag spikes that last for about 3-4 seconds. It's very annoying. I do not have post count rewards enabled, either.
I saw someone say the plugin runs on its own thread, yet doing an /fsyncall stalls the entire server until its done.

Posted Dec 29, 2011Haven't been able to get this working at all sense version 3.2.5
Every version past has some issue or another. After updating to 3.4.0 I had to completely refresh my config files.. and fill them out again. This is not an issue if it had started working after.
After generating and filling out brand new 3.4.0 config files, I managed to get the plugin connecting to the Database.. But.. and this is a big but..... Every time someone try's to sync. The server crashes. Every time.
I did this on my dev server.. using Bukkit 1597, GroupManager, and OKB3.4.0 Those are the only plugins installed.
If anyone has this working I would love to talk with you. Cause from what I am getting from the public, is that it doesn't work.. yet from the Dev.. It works. idk anymore. Im about to give up on this awesome plugin that I have used for so long in the past.

Posted Dec 28, 2011I'm having some difficulty with letting users have multiple permission groups. So in a sense, I'd like to have the primary group (Member) and maybe some few people who I trust enough to build in creative mode be also part of a builder group that can teleport to a different world. Thing is that when I grant them that group (so now they are part of two groups), they are resynced and the second group is removed.
Any tips for this?

Posted Dec 28, 2011It seems to have stopped working. Hmm. Ever since I updated to 3.4, my login message stopped (could be unrelated) and no one is syncing correctly. Its also now creative a .db file assuming its not connecting via MySQL anymore? Confused

Posted Dec 27, 2011Note to anyone else who runs into my problem mentioned: just ask the users who were transferred over to change their passwords. This results in the authentication changing over from vBulletin to Core.

Posted Dec 25, 2011Hello @kalmanolah: I have recently setup your plug-in with my xenForo and it works flawlessly aside from one small detail. I actually imported the users, threads, etc from our last forum (vBulletin). The problem arises when the users that got imported attempt to sync, they're not recognized. I'm guessing this is due to the fact that the cryptography is different (XenForo_Authentication_Core vs XenForo_Authentication_vBulletin). Do you know of a method that we could set it up so that we could get it to also allow the vBulletin members to sync as well? There are over 350 members that were transferred, so trying to look into all options so we don't have to delete them and make them start over.

Posted Dec 23, 2011Hi. Super awesome plugin but just curious, I'm having really bad server load when trying to enable rewarding based on the message-count field in xenforo. Is this to be expected?
Second question: currently on our forums we made the admin ranking first before creatin the member ranking so our members are forum rank 7 (imposing a grey list system so registered people still can't build but they can get promoted to group 7 from 1) while admins are group 3. If I wanted to allow a specific group to promote users to members in game I'd have to set up the permission nodes as bbb.promote.1 to bbb.promote.7 including bbb.promote.2 bbb.promote.3 bbb.promote.4 etc?
