Unable to Log in to DS3.6 mud

[Maze of Ith]

To make a long story short, power went out and after getting servers back online and my mud started, I am unable to log in. I can telnet to it, the log in screen displays, but after entering a username it just hangs indefinitely. I have a fairly recent backup so can restore files if needed, but I don't know what would cause this behavior specifically. Even if I enter a name for an account that does not yet exist it hangs.

I fired up the mud and attempted a single log in, and this is what was generated in the catch log:

Code: [Select]

Any advice would be much appreciated, and if I need to provide more info, I can and will.

Thanks!

I am surprised there were no replies to this. I think I may have the issue narrowed down, and will post what I find if I am on the right track and can get it running again.

I don't know much about anything, but it seems to me restore_object() is throwing an error about illegal array format because you have one or more corrupted .o files. This would make sense since this could easily happen during the mentioned power failure.

Restore your /save/intermud.o and your /save/portal.o files and see if that solves the problem.

[Maze of Ith]

Thanks, Nilrin. I had replaced several .o files from backups, but not the portal.o file. I will give that a shot and see how goes.

[Maze of Ith]

So, replacing the portal.o file allowed me to log in, but several things were not functioning. After some digging I removed the guilds.o file and replaced it from backup as well, and now things seem to be fine. Thanks again, Nilrin!

Cheers.
