New Server Issues

I just also noticed that when my character falls he doesn't take damage from falling he gets a message "You have taken 8 points of type 252 environmental damage"

If you have your Gamemaster flag on, you will take no fall damage, turn it off with '#gm off'.

Ok, that worked. Thank you. I have to get used to not being a PC on my server. I am going to keep it on and the server locked until I get the issues I am having with it resolved. It might be the way I am doing my searches, but I am showing no results whenever I search for the issues that I am having. Maybe I don't know even enough about what is going on with the server to ask good questions about. Are there any guides for running the server, and maybe resolving these kinds of issues. I have been downloading the new database files, but I am not sure whether I should source them in or redo the database from scratch. I also don't know how to resolve the issues I am having. A lot of the posts are rather old and when I try some of them, they don't work, or there are files that they reference, but either don't exist anymore or I didn't get with my downloads. Thanks for your help.

Having the GM flag on has nothing to do with having the status to login when the server is locked. those are different things.

Yes, you have no clue what you are doing, but at least you asked.

# commands are tied to the account status and have nothing to do with being flagged as a GM in the client. Aside from the fact that someone with high enough status has to use the #gm on command on a character in the first place. You do not have to be flagged as a GM to use all the # commands your status gives you access to.

Just being a GM does not grant anything other than the green name really. Mobs will not aggro by default and no falling damage is about it. This is not live.

I lowered my account to status 0 and unlocked the world. I went back into my server and I am still having the same aggro issues in the same zones. So I don't think that being a GM, at least on this server has anything to do with obtaining aggro. I have tried redownloading the maps several times already and copying them into the maps folder. I even deleted the maps folder a couple of times and reinstalled them fresh, with each version of the maps I downloaded. Nothing at this time seems to resolve the issue. Thanks for your help though.
