Resolved it on his server. The problem was the folder rights were capitalized wrong. The NPC-server needs to have (case sensitive):

r scripts/*
r weapons/*
r npcs/*
rw myfolder/*

For some reason I can't open up the backup files- any ideas? I use W7

How are you trying to open them? Are there any error messages?

Do you have Java installed and working? What if you use "java -jar GBallExpander.jar" in the command line?

I just tested the GBall (also using W7) and I didn´t have any issues. I was able to open GBallExpander and also expand the .arc file.

The Java directory is not added to Windows' path variable by default, so chances are that this won't work.

Just one quick question since I started using the GBall. It keeps echoing

GBall: The script commands addguildmember,copylevel etc were called too often, fix the scripts please

But the addguildmember and copylevel are just used once. They aren´t even in a loop.
How could that be fixed?

If I recall correctly, that means it hit the flood alert. Probably your best bet is to let it finish (it should automatically detect the flood alert and slow down), and then in the future adjust this:

PHP Code:

  this.maxWrite = (mb * 4); // max to write at once; I find mb*9 is the absolute limit 
                            // but below that is usually better to avoid flood alert 


One or two megabytes should be sufficient for the kind of stuff generally backed up (ideally, mostly small text files).

Ok thanks

This is an amazing script, that you for making it. Backing up our server is extremely tedious without something like Gball. My only problem now is that Gball spit out 100+ files and the extractor can't parse more than 30.

What happens when you reach 30? It freezes? I don't remember coding in a hard limit so it's probably just running out of memory. I wrote it a long time ago so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there's a memory leak in it.

Try running it from the command line and see what errors you get.
