Rinith/Everyone - I need specifics, not generalizations. Use the template that Wings provided if you need a guideline for posting something helpful.
Hellstrom - I tested that earlier in the evening with Captain_Chaos. After going through the logs and doing further checking, the problem for that issue was because someone logged out in an overland area previously in the day (probably because she was lost) and the area never got properly reset so it was always marked for that particular overland area. When that happens, that causes a big problem because there are only a set number of templates per area type - in this case it was a road area with the road running from west to north. That specific type of road (west to north) only has two templates. So when the other one was in use, there was no area to fallback on and the script got caught in an endless loop trying to find an available area. That is what caused the problem.
That particular problem has been resolved with the reset I just did about a half hour ago so that 1) if someone logs out in an area -ANY area- that area *will* now be properly reset and in the case of overland areas it will be released so it can be reused again and 2) I have modified the overland travel system so if it loops through the maximum number of area templates for an area it will fall back and select one from our largest category - the plains templates. If that should happen though, I also have it written to the logs so if it starts occurring more often I can add more area templates of a specific type.
