Radio reciver isn't working?

JackTR · Postby **JackTR** » Tue May 05, 2009 6:07 pm

We have a transmitter and a reciver - the reciver isn't getting anything - including things said in the transmitter.

Help?

What frequency do you broadcast at? And what frequency is the receiver set at?

Someone has complained about a similar problem earlier but I don't think it could be looked into without database access. If the problem is in the code then it's a mystery why most transmitters and receivers do work and just a couple don't.

Who should I PM about it?

No one. There isn't anyone active that can help you at this time. It's best to just leave it in here.

Location: The Expatriate [Van]
Frequency: 100 (both transmitter and reciver)

Are you travelling? That might be part of the cause.

Nope, sitting at home.

Bumped, now that DB access has been restored.

Perhaps there is a problem with updating the x,y location of moving vehicles? I think the radio code uses this information from the database, but it's not always 100% up to date ... (this is info for the ProgD, but there's nothing really secret anyway

...)

I'm looking into this. I think it might be about missing lines in the radios table.

Edit: There are 11 vehicle radio receivers, 6 vehicle radio transmitters and 1 ship radio transmitters missing a line in the radios table.

Who can add it?

I'm working on it. I'm just trying to see if I could fix all of the broken radios at once instead of having to do each one separately.

Edit: They should be working now. Send a testing message.

Two of my characters encountered similar problem in last 20 (or so) days.
Vehicle recivers do not work (I'm not sure if the transmitter in one of them was working too).

Anything was changed and it is normal now or just something is messed up in DB again?

There is a bug somewhere that makes some if not all of ship radios go out of sync. I think I ran a query to fix all of them and two days later, over half were out of sync again. Which might correspond to all the ones moving. It might also explain why somebody was able to hear MacGregor transmissions near Shai where they should clearly be out of range, it's because the radio assumed it was still located on the other side of the island. I have a script that updates all ship radios but since running it manually each day or several times a day wouldn't work out, I could just attach it into the sailing script. It would be easier than the other way it does it, adjusting the coordinates for each radio separately after moving the ship. I'm not sure why that part of the code doesn't seem to work but clearly it doesn't.
