[Irethia]

Hi,

She instakill us (normal) But when she make too much domage we are getting kicked out of the server, even me as a superadmin.
here's some log

Is there some command lines or anything else to prevent that
Thanks and have a good day

There’s nothing to prevent that, apparently this was added in bouncer to prevent server crash exploits. IIRC if damage taken >20,000 it will force kick you.

I was kicked by the same bug. I understand it is there for exploit protection, but would it not be possible to add an exception for Empress of Light since her giving you 20 000+ damage during enrage is perfectly legit and not a death exploit attempt?

[moisterrific]

I don’t know exactly why the threshold is set to >20k damage. Maybe it can be raised to accommodate for day Empress instakill damage? Or would that greatly compromise server stability? Need TShock devs to weigh in on this.

@moisterrific what's the damage cap?

[moisterrific]

The damage cap of Empress? Not sure the exact maximum amount, but for me it ranged from 15-25k.

[hakusaro]

Based on the feedback from @Irethia, @Ayrawei, & @moisterrific in this thread (in particular the damage logs from @Irethia) I've bumped the default damage cap to 42,000. This should be available in an upcoming release (or the latest build, if you prefer). Please let me know if this is not enough after that change is widely available.

[moisterrific]

Is there any specific reason it was set to 20k to begin with? Like higher than that would crash the server or something?

[hakusaro]

Well the comment says it causes infinite loops in the server, so I'm guessing that it was some old bug. It may still exist, but I'm not sure if it does.
