Constant Physics.PhysX errors

I wrote something, but gathered everything I could already. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with players dropping items on the ground

Backpacks......and backpack drops from npcs that are despawned to illegal locations...interesting idea

I just got a string of about 22 of that same error, back to back when a player joined the server, then spawned


EDIT:  Interesting....about 2 minutes later, he got kicked because of some "timer tick" something or other...but when he loaded back in....it did the exact same thing...22 ish PhysX errors directly after the server message saying he "Spawned"

It might possibly be the "Cooking" plugin...I just had a "New" player join my server and nothing happened when they spawned.

interesting @Merdynnbut doesn't appear that @GamingHQhas Cooking installed

it's possible for Cooking to not be bugged but still exacerbate the problem when "calling" whatever the root cause is

found the cause.....this tug boat is ridiculous.  I say it's the tug boat...or something on it (more likely).  When I spawn in, normally, I don't generate errors.  But I fiddled with the cmd prompt window and it ended up kicking us while I was standing in the boat basement.....when I logged back in, my spawning caused 30ish errors.

interesting

which item on the tugboat is causing it?

is the tugboat becoming overweight after x number of items are deployed on it?

are you using a plugin to deploy items that typically can't be deployed on a tugboat?

I didnt know the tug boat could actually become overweight...nor do I know how to check if it is.  And no, i have no plugin that would allow a TC or something to be placed.

It could be an item...or too many, not sure how to find that out yet.

I don't know if it can become overweight either

you can pickup items from the boat until the issue stops happening to see what caused it

Lmao...thats going to take a while.  I'll see what I can do on that

well if you figure it out then I can report it to Facepunch if it's a game bug

I'm just glad it's not my plugin causing it.

Yeah, I felt kinda weird continuing this thread because I didn't believe it to be an issue with your plugin, seeing how after removing your plugin, it kept happening.  You do great work man. Can't wait to see what other cool ass plugin you come up with.  Actually, there is a plugin that I need but can't seem to find.  I want a plugin similar to raidable bases but for 1x1 loot rooms...no NPCs, no difficulties....just, hide all these loot rooms all over the map and set a timer to respawn them.  I've been wanting to buy Raidable Shelters but don't quite know how I would efficiently place them on the map.

I have a plugin that can do that and will release it in the near future

these bases would not despawn though.

can you DM your map & sav incase I need to provide it to Facepunch?

Yes....I'm actually very new to all of this....maybe been doing this for a month?  Let me know what all the files are called that you need.

they're in your server folder

the path probably isn't /server/rust, but you will see similar files when you find it

only the sav is necessary, but I want the map too so that I can see it for myself. assuming the map is not paid. if paid then i can request it from the map dev.

no paid map...DMing you that folder now

Phew, you guys have been digging big time into this. Sorry for not being present.

It is fascinating to see that the tugboat could be the problem maker, i wonder what item gets resized on that boat when the error kicks in. I have disabled the tugboat sales for now on my server. Is there a way to disable them completely if you know by any chance @nivex ?  Because then I just going to get rid of them. Not sure why someone needs a base on a boat anyway. 

After looking up, there are 3 users on my server with such a boat, avoiding the Abandoned Bases event as those boats are loaded with loot. 

I don't see any convars for tugboats to disable them

there might be one, but I don't know what it is

@GamingHQ It's not necessarily the tug boat itself that is causing it....but rather, something ON the tugboat. I've never seen those storage barrels before, or the mounted Head on the wall. Combine that with the various plugins I have that modify items and behaviours....I'm going to get on my server and dig through his stuff and suicide each time until I find the culprit.

I have recorded some of my attempts at directly locating the problem.  If you wish to see what all I did and have some more suggestions for me to try, please watch the video.  I'll add a google drive link as soon as its finished uploading

I tried killing entities one by one but never located one that was the cause

this should be fixed in the next Rust update

?? Wait, how do you know this?

multiple commits regarding the issue were fixed in next update:

Oh snap!
