Terrain hole cutter changes not retained on reset/crash

Recommended Posts

The Epsilon Editor Hole Cutter is a great tool.  terrain_cut gobs are laggy, and indeed a lovely message tells us to prefer using the Hole Cutter over the terrain_cut gobs.

However, presently, the Hole Cutter has a rather problematic issue that the holes are not persisted on server resets or crashes.  And while myself and other people have mentioned it on #gamesupport on Discord, or sought help with it, I cannot find a report of it here, so I thought it would be a good idea to write one up.

More specifically: the changes from terrain holes remain through logins, different characters visiting the phases/etc, but when the server resets or crashes, the terrain holes vanish, and need replacement.  For now, many people have reverted to just using the gobs again, but this is suboptimal.

This fix seems to have improved the situation but not remedied it.  Some MCNKs are not being saved or reloaded properly, whichever the case may be.

Last evening:

This structure is across 2 "MCNK"s - one saved, the other did not.

After the last server crash, I lost everything including the one which had persisted previously:

This is getting infuriating, if I'm honest.

This is still not working. Terrain holes do not appear in Deathknell.

In regards to what holes persist and what don't: it appears the only ones that actually save are ones made in the last load of the MCNK info, at least in my experience. So if you have holes in a few different areas, you're out of luck right now.

Still happening as of a couple days ago.

Still a problem as of 2022-06-29

As well as it still being an issue as of last restart, terrain cut gobs now have a warning message that prints with each spawning. This pushes unaware people to attempt using the cutting tool without being aware that it still erases all cuts post-reset.
