cfgIgnoreList.xml not working on Xbox
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hey guys!
As title says, the cfgIgnoreList does not work on console.
Differently from the Steam version, any item added to the list will not be deleted from CE or storage containers at restart.
Having it functional would be extremely helpful in two cases:

  1. Once a server is wiped, Nitrado starts it with a vanilla mission folder, with a race in reloading the dashboard to restore the configs. This means all storage containers spawned after a wipe will have vanilla lifetime and not what server owners assign to them. cfgIgnoreList could fix that by giving the chance of clearing the map from all objects spawned with vanilla lifetime and damage levels.
  1. As updates go by and unreleased items ( like the sword and mace were ) are introduced to the game, older ones which were added by server owners to the economy are left in the db and types, and as happened in the past with some unreleased items removed without notice, servers will not start because trying to load those same objects. Again, cfgIgnoreList would solve the issue by deleting them from storage and world, which would prevent as well keeping inside the storage object a deprecated classname.

Bump for this. Would be extremely helpful for doing a map, but not character, wipe as officials.

Hello TheDevilsKnock.
Can you please send us your example mission folder + storage? As when we use the ignore list, it works correctly on our end and unwanted things are being removed from the storage.

I'll try to be as detailed as possible.

storage folder, taken right now

I'll follow up with another message after restart.

MedicalScrubsShirt_White still there after updating the ignorelist and restarting the server.

If you guys tested on a PC server, or have direct access to your mpmission folder on console, I do think that the problem resides on the fact that Nitrado uses a mirror folder. Console have access to a copy, and every time that a file is updated it gets copied over to the game mpmission (root folders have a different name too).
Problem might rely in Nitrado not having whitelisted this specific file, which does not update in the true root.

Hello TheDevilsKnock.
We have tested this on our end and still did not find any issues. Can you try to contact Nitrado? As it might be an issue on their end.

I'm honestly unsure how you guys test for console, but I'm positive that it doesn't work on all server when the file is edited by any mean (being from dashboard, ftp or http request).
Seems like that while the mirror is updated on upload


the one in the root (visible in read only) is not

And while possible to contact Nitrado support, I don't think as end user this can reach the correct department. This might be possible only from your side

Hello TheDevilsKnock.
Nitrado has fixed the issue on their end, can you please check?

I checked, item I was testing with is still there, file still doesn't update in root.

I asked to Nitrado support directly as well, result was as expected.


Doesn't look like this is the only file, but mapgroupdirt too.

cfgIgnoreList doesnt work for years on consoles, agree would be great if u finally fix it.
If add any item, or even delete "easteregg / coupled mag" nothing changes. Egg disappears, any other new item still on the server.

Hello again.
Nitrado pushed another fix. Does the issue still occur?
