Unplaned downtime due to file sync failure [resolved]

[Red Squirrel]

While trying to commit a small update my sync script messed up, and for some reason TC1 and live is not syncing properly and the live shard is failing to load the database. Nothing has been lost, but we are looking into why this is happening. Tried to restore a script backup but that is failing too. (backups are done with rsync as well, go figure)

The shard may be down for the next few hours, to even the next few days. If I can't figure it out by tonight, I won't be able to look at it till a week from now as I'll be with family tomorrow (Easter) and after that I start work.

I will post an update once some progress is being done. I'm still mostly investigating at this point.

Rsync has been the bane of my existence, it has a mind of it's own but it's really the only half decent app that has that function. One of these days I need to code a replacement.

This has now been solved. Was totally my fault, I totally forgot we had some scripts that were not suppose to go live yet so it messed a lot of stuff up.

As a result, champion spawns (one of the things that was not suppose to go live yet) are currently unavailable. We still need to test them. Basically there is a new engine for them and it was not possible to port a backup of the old scripts as too much stuff throughout the rest of the scripts was relying on the new one being there.

In the meantime, we have enabled a moongate at brit bank trammel leading to gauntlet to give some form of boss to do for now. If this takes longer than anticipated I will come up with a better componsation that is more comparable to a champ spawn.
