Yeah playing around more with it, when you die your equipment drops on your body and you also keep this so it's duplicating these items for players. If we can solve this I don't see an issue with keeping equipment but an option somewhere along the sides of a config file to disable it would be so greatly appreciated not sure if I can do it locally already but this mod has made majority of my server happy just a little worried about the equipment dupe bug.

I just checked and it seems on the server side I was able to capture almost everything on delete (to avoid dupes). It seem the only thing not captured is what is in your hands. Can you confirm?

Everything equipped on players are duped, let's say you die with keep equipped on. You can sit there killing yourself over and over to obtain all your equipped items from your new life and your dead bodies because the equipped items are still on the ground.

I'd be even opened to an alternate mod that doesn't have "keep equipment on death" seems this one is going to be hard to get around for multiplayer servers because it creates dupes.

Is this occurring on a hosted session or on a dedicated server? I have specific code in place to handle this and so it seems odd the corpse would have that equipment after my testing.

Want to come test with me? We've been playing with it today to see if I can possibly disable the function of that all together but if we can fix it I'd use it it's just introducing a safe way to dupe on my server currently.

Tested more - if you drop a backpack on your body and pick this up place it back down you can keep grabbing the items from the backpack as they spawn back for some reason. Disabled the addon and it was normal again.

Yeah, I’m not going to be able to resolve that issue. Tracking world items on player reload to avoid willful dupping is beyond the time I’m willing to put into the mod. Sorry.

Travin,

I actually don't think this is a bug with your mod. In my vanilla server, items can get duped with this very same thing. Vanilla has an issue with duping items...so am like 90% sure it's not your mod...if that helps.

travin no like when you respawn with items not checkmarked, you spawn with your items but in your inventory there is nothing and you are stuck with your items on you and no way to take your items off

I think I understand. I'll take a look later to see what is happening.

The items are not technically on your character. The client just isn't getting the update that those items have been removed (notice your encumbrance is 0.0). I've added this to my list to resolve. For now, exiting the server and then relog will set everything normal.

This issue should now be resolved

I need more information on this as I could not reproduce the bug.

I'm not 100% sure if it's an issue solely caused by this mod but it appears to be the case. When you respawn your character using this mod on a sleep required server, your character is not able to sleep. It's red with the text "Can't get back to sleep, try again later". Waiting hours/days in-game, regardless of how tired the character is, doesn't allow them to sleep. It does not matter what state the character was saved in, they will not be able to sleep. A temp fix I found that does not involve turning off sleep for the server is to take sleeping pills. Which appears to fix the issue for that life, until next respawn.
