I have reported this as Mantis #599.

If you apply a save bed in a remote location in an unique instanced map, then when the player is killed, he/she returns to the default guildhall start point instead of the save bed (which is what should happen).

But the real problem is that when the player logs out, the server tries to save the guildhall map as a player-unique instance. It can't find it (because it doesn't exist) so it gives up and crashes.

I found this on my local server, but Tehill has managed to crash the test server in the same way using the maps on there.

Actually I ended up in guildhall bank, not starting point. Bank is where you end up if you try /goto with bad path

Hmm. Yes, my dead player went to Bank. But if I /goto with a bad path, I end up on the landing stage by the lake.

I go to the landing stage if i /goto incorrectly... the bank is if i die.
I'd really like a point I can put in my map, so players go back to the start when they die... rather than a million, billion miles away :twisted:

Yes that is the whole idea of the save bed. If you die you are supposed to respawn at the last save bed you applied. You can put a save bed anywhere, though it might look silly in the middle of a field.

Part of the bug is that it doesn't work (the other part is that the server crashes).

After I used savebed all erroneous /goto take you to bank. the entry in player data goes from: savebed_map /relic/castle/castle_030a  to: savebed_map /relic/castle/castle_040a

I put my savebed in /unofficial/lobby
Server did not crash but neither did I return to save bed on death,  just bank.

If that was the test server, it probably didn't crash until you logged out, so you wouldn't know about it

My local server is still up and running 4 hours after using the savebed i put in lobby and dying several times. Several logins/logouts also.
No crash. The lobby is not unique or instance map.

There is your answer. It's when it's an instanced map that it crashes, cos it tries to save an instance that doesn't exist.

What I'm trying to say should be clear from the last few lines of a crash log. You'll see all the $$ in the castle file name or whatever.

This is now fixed in SVN, together with the changes needed for the directory restructuring.

Killed player respawn at last-applied save bed and new players start on the landing stage next to Fanrir. I have updated Mantis #599.

All we need now is a test server rebuild... (MT?)
