Troubleshooting Terminated due to inactivity problem

[Cpstar]

Another thing that I found that will time you out is if your cookies are loaded to the brim ,,, you might wanna try cleaning them out every so often

Hi there, sorry I've taken so long to respond to your suggestions. I have been troubleshooting this for so long that sometimes I just get tired of trying to figure it out and give up for awhile. I tried the ping test you described above and I still got terminated due to inactivity. So then I put the borg commands you put in your post in my ON ENTER section. I didn't have an ON ALARM section, so I added a section under ON ENTER with just that ON ALARM command, is that right? If it is, that did not work for me either, I still get terminated.
I did get a command from Uni that keeps me alive but I say talk above my head every 3 minutes. This is what he made for me

;; talk script (ON OUTCHAT part)

{

{" " SAY} 10800 ALARMEXEC
{" " SAY} 21600 ALARMEXEC
{" " SAY} 32400 ALARMEXEC
{" " SAY} 43200 ALARMEXEC

}

"talk" chatstr == IF

So this works but it is annoying for everyone to see me say "talk" every 3 minutes. Any other ideas please?

Hi Cpstar
I clean out my cookies daily, so that's not it. Thank you for the tip though.

Well, If the ping test had no effect, it seems that it is a Palace Server - Palace Client issue. Most likely the Client.

Nothing springs to mind as to the cause, so heres some ideas to work around it... and not get too much hassle. To avoid every1 in the room wondering about your " " SAY problem you could try and replace " " SAY with " " WHOME PRIVATEMSG That way you are just speaking to yourself.

This SCRIPT I have written below SHOULD solve your problem, without being too apparant and annoying to you and others. This cyborg script below will strip your props every 3 minutes piece by piece until you are a naked T-ball, then instantly wack whatever avatar you where wearing back on. This activity should keep your Palace Client - Palace Server connection alive.
I have used this principle before to avoid connection dropouts... it really should work for you.
Most people won't notice it... unless they are lagged to heck. You might not notice it working either, so I have added a line in RED that can be removed once you know this works and resolves your connection issues. I've included the option to turn it on/off with "fix on" "fix off" - default is on everytime you SIGN ON to a palace.

Put this line somewhere in your ON SIGNON section of cyborg.ipt. *N.B the purple text needs to go at start of ON SIGNON with any other GLOBALs. Blue text just goes in where you can fit it.
scripton GLOBAL
1 scripton =
10800 ME SETALARM

Then create an ON ALARM section if you do not have one....
ON ALARM {
scripton GLOBAL
{ ;this section only runs if the script is turned on
10800 ME SETALARM
"" Diavatar =
{ " " topprop itoa + theprop =
theprop Diavatar + Diavatar =
WHOME DOFFPROP
} { TOPPROP } WHILE
PAUSE 10
;10 second pause to see that avatar did fall off
"[" Diavatar + "] SETPROPS" + STRTOATOM EXEC }scripton 1 == IF
}
Then this bit goes in your ON OUTCHAT section....*Note.. the purple text needs to go at the start of OUTCHAT..the blue text wherever you can fit it..
scripton GLOBAL
{
0 scripton =
"Stop Termination Error SCRIPT is OFF" STATUSMSG
"" GREPSUB CHATSTR =
} CHATSTR LOWERCASE "^fix off$" GREPSTR IF

{
1 scripton =
10800 ME SETALARM
"Stop Termination Error SCRIPT is ON" STATUSMSG
"" GREPSUB CHATSTR =
} CHATSTR LOWERCASE "^fix on$" GREPSTR IF


Hope this is of some help... Wish I could offer an idea as to the real cause of the problem, but this should at least provide you with a bearable solution.

Hi member from Australia (sorry I don't have the symbols on my keyboard for your name)
WOW, that script you wrote me is amazing! I can barely see the av change every 3 minutes, it's that FAST. And, best of all, it works! It keeps me there now without being annoying with the balloon above my head every 3 minutes setting off the automatic borgs with their "wb Lady Di". I only had time to check it out briefly, BUT I was able to sit quietly for a whole 7 minutes and I wasn't terminated. I will test it more this weekend, but I am pretty positive it is working because I could never stay more than 3-4 minutes before.
Thank you so much for the script. It's a VERY bearable solution until if and when I can ever figure out what causes the terminated due to inactivity in the first place.
Thanks very, very, very much.
Di

Good Morning
I can officially say this script works GREAT. I sat at my Palace gate for 30 minutes without saying a word and did not get terminated due to inactivity. And I could barely see a blip when the script worked, it's like the blink of an eye. Thanks again for helping me.

G'day Di, I'm really glad it worked. Repeatedly being terminated must have been a very frustrating problem. BTW - You may remember me as Lightning Jack if u r Lady Di who used to hang at Wildcheree's. The script is a modified version of the "BRB" script I posted. I haven't Palace'd in years, but I still like to help with scripts n stuff to keep my grey matter chugging along. - regards, Chris/LJ©

Final thoughts - you could have also tried a virgin palace.prp and palace.mac file - not likely to help tho' unless the server was getting 'invalid prop' messages. Then I would have really run out of ideas except it might be a prob' with your PC's Network Settings or ADSL Router settings.

Hi Chris,
I am not that Lady Di cuz I don't know Wildcheree's. I started out Palacing at Til Forever Ends and hang around with the Phoenix Radio bunch at all their Palaces.
I did try a virgin propbag and a virgin borg but neither of those worked.
I suspect it's my Linksys router and something to do with a local address vs a DCHP address but I cannot figure out how to forward ports to a local address so I will keep your script in my borg and work around it that way.
Thanks again, Chris.
