Is This Just Lag?

[Rheannan]

I only recently started using Palace again after a long while. The first thing I noticed were the broken help links but I've just discovered the Updater so I'll look at that later.

I've been through the forum and a manual or two and can't find anything quite like this. The program was working fine - I made a Palace that myself and another person have been using. There was no lag and there were no problems of any kind. Then about two days ago, it changed - the server program runs fine and the Palace runs fine but no speech is forthcoming. I can type something in, but it simply never appears. I don't know if the Palace community has been hit by some kind of sudden, neverending lag, or if this is a problem on my end. I haven't had a chance for the other user on this Palace to test it out yet.

I well remember lag from when I used to use Palace. This isn't like that - I can leave it for half an hour and the text never appears. As far as I'm aware I haven't changed anything with the server (though I did try reinstalling it to no avail) or the client itself. Other Palaces that I connect to are fine, no problems with text at all. Props from both the prop bag and the avatar list also work fine in the Palace I created and in the others.

If anyone has a possible solution, please let me know... because at the moment, the Palace I made is unusable.

Update: The other person using the Palace hasn't got any problems with it. So it's something on my end.

I did consider the prop bag (it's too big at the moment but I'm going to whittle it down), but I did try switching it out for a fresh one which didn't help either. Maybe it's something else I'm missing with the prop file?

At any rate, since the actual server seems fine I might try reinstalling the client later tonight and see if that helps.

If this is a local Palace server (hosted on your own PC) then try connecting to it using this address: 127.0.0.1

This is the most direct connection,but it sounds to me like you have a script conflict, perhaps replacing the cyborg.ipt with an original one might help. Don't forget to backup the one you have. (make a new folder inside the palace folder, call it backup and copy propfile and cyborg to this always works)

Most problems where your text never arrives are script conflicts, not connection conflicts. Like you said yourself, otherwise something should have shown up after a while.

good luck!

Thankyou very much! It's working again - it was the script file. I had wondered at something earlier this evening but had forgotten to mention it (it was after my second post). Two scripts I had tested when I was looking to see what was happening, hadn't worked right. Then when typing a normal word, it activated the script for something that used a different word...

It was a particular script, and I had only added one new one to the file in the last couple of days. I just removed that script and everything is now working fine.

Also thanks to Drake for the links.
