Dedicated Multiplayer Server - Spawning at inmate spawnpoints but inmate profession and guard keys not available.
I posted a comment on the original mod page about an issue the players on my server have been having when trying to spawn in as an inmate; there was an update to address this but the problem is persisting.

We're able to spawn at all of the inmate spawn points, but nobody is able to see or select the inmate profession when creating a character, nor does anyone spawn with the guard keys required to escape the cell when spawning at any of the indoor inmate locations, so these spawns have been soft locking anyone who spawns there by accident.

We've tried hard resetting the server again since the update posted to address our issue - and we really do appreciate the quick feedback and update, honestly didn't expect a mod dev to be so responsive with support but we love to see it - but our problem hasn't seemed to have changed at all despite the update.

Thanks again for the quick support, and if there's anything else anyone can suggest that we try or anything more on the dev's end, we'd greatly appreciate it - again, love the mod, keep it up dev.

Very sorry to hear the update didn't fix your issue guys. I did some mp testing earlier today and everything seemed to be working correctly on my side.

The profession not showing up at all is what's throwing me off here. The inmate clothing will appear once you select the profession. Guard keys should be spawning regardless.

Can you try verifying your game files, resubscribing to this mod, and running a fresh server with only this mod enabled? Just to rule out mod incompatibilities as a probable cause.

Do you have any other mods enabled that add or alter the professions? Or that alter the buildings/maps where you are spawning?

Are all of you spawning at the same time and at the same location? Or does this still happen even if players spawn at different times/locations?

We'll have to wait until the next wipe to try running the server with just this mod enabled, but otherwise we've disabled any other mods that have anything to do with professions and might interfere with the inmate profession, and it still seems to be broken for us as the inmate profession still isn't there. I'll try resubscribing to the mod server-side during some maintenance time today and see if that fixes it.

We've had no success having people spawn at any of the inmate spawnpoints at different times, and at the same time. Generally people have been turning the locked cell spawns into unarmed deathmatch arenas when spawning at the same time (still with no keys), which is funny but the problem is persisting with keys as well.

@VrWiz We've done a full server reset now and tried only installing the inmate mod with no success, still no inmate profession and no guard keys. Anything that might be conflicting with the mod should be removed at this point as well, as we've added our other mods back for the sake of people being able to play while we try to fix the issue, but I'm not sure what else can be done on our end.

Hi Cole,

Thanks for trying that out, and sorry you guys are having trouble with this mod.

At this point I don't know what might be causing these issues either. I ran some tests earlier this week and everything seemed to be working fine in multiplayer for us.

I'll see if there's anything I can tweak in the code and let you know if there are any updates.
