Linux Dedicated server issue (v0.31.2)

[Junkmerchant]

We currently have an issue on our dedicated linux server that when someone jumps into a specific sector, currently I have seen this error happen with only 2 sectors so far, the server starts to spew the following...

 

Object: 6Sector
Execution Context (inner to outer):
#0: updateServer data/scripts/events/waveencounters/pirateshidingtreasures.lua

could not execute function 'updateServer' in '"data/scripts/events/waveencounters/pirateshidingtreasures.lua"':

...scripts/events/waveencounters/pirateshidingtreasures.lua:29: attempt to index upvalue 'data' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
    ...scripts/events/waveencounters/pirateshidingtreasures.lua:29: in function <...scripts/events/waveencounters/pirateshidingtreasures.lua:27>

 

This continues to spew until the person jumps out of the sector.

 

Here is the current server.ini file that I have configured running on the server..

Any help on this would be appreciated.

 

Here is what I have tried so far.

• I have deleted the file pirateshidingtreasures.lua and had the server redownload another version
  
• I have uninstalled the server and reinstalled

The problem that causes this was the update of 31.1.. If one of you jumped into this sector you got an old version of the pirateshidingtreasure.lua that saved its necessary values a certain way. The new version of 31.2. now uses a different way of saving these and runs into this error because of it. I fear the sector will stay that way until you wipe it (only the sector of course) completely.

Otherwise you can of course simply move on, newly discovered sectors with this and similar scripts won't produce this issue.

Thank you for the explanation of the issue. If I wanted to delete the sector, what is the proper way? I see the sector folders. There looks to be two folders  for each sector. One folder named with the sector coordinates and one named with the sector coordinates  with the letter v on the end. Do i delete both or just one of them?

I delete both.

 

You will notice minor issues after.  For example, all of your weapon groups on your ships in sectors that you delete will be reset.  Any sectors where (non-player) stations had been destroyed will be back.  Stuff like that.
