manual buy back bug fix

Jul 16, 2003 tracid link
You all noticed that the buy back is working only 10% of times u die... this is the way to make it 100% :

when u die u see the yes no thing to buyback lastship ... before clicking yes if you wish to buy it back just open the console and say something and then close the console and press yes... tadam the buyback will work... i tried it lots and lots and it always worked...

hav fun ^^

It still fails for me about 50% of the time even if I wait 30 sec+ before touching my mouse. :(

Yea, 3 second wait always works for me. But if you get killed by some dirty sleazeball while chatting for no reason (which has been happening more and more often lately) it can be hard to remember to wait when you get angry.

Just wait 3 seconds before hitting the yes button and it should work. you don't have to do the chat thing.

hmm. Rogue and tracid, what sector do you have the buyback bug for example? I will look at the log and see what it says.
Please specify a time (or as close as you can) in central time if possible.

"wait 3 seconds" fix never worked for me properly.
first of all alot of people assume you have same ping as you.
second, i've waited for 15 seconds sometimes and it would still happen.
only way to get rid of it for me is to indeed chat after death and when I see my message come through, I click yes. this is the only way to not have that bug for me.

I think i get the bug when i press yes before it - i dont know - get responce from the server. I know it can't be compared, but when i use a function in my perlscripts for viewing active players ingame, it's delayed because it needs to grap the list from your website. It somewhat equals the time that it takes to get responce from the server. eg loaded server/connection - longer time to wait...
I dont know if that helps at all, but whatever...

/me mumbles something about food and wanders of to bed =)

i can wait 1 hours or 3 second before clicking if it's messed up it will go the same way...

and with my msg before clicking yes .... always work ^^
