Error reports spam + server corruption.

Title: Error reports spam + server corruption.

Version: 3.1.1

OS: Windows 7

Java Version: Java 7(latest)

Description of Problem:

In the console a Railcraft error is just spammed over and over again. It's like it currupts the server. Quarries, block breakers, pistons, and more just stop working.

And I believe the tekkit version is 3.1.2 not 3.1.1.

Error Messages:

[WARNING] Error loading Railcraft Save Data: Not in GZIP format

Error Log:

[WARNING] Error loading Railcraft Save Data: Not in GZIP format

Delete railcraft.dat from your server.

Hi all,

Rather than start a new topic, thought i would piggy back on this one. Basically im getting whats happening in the pic below.

The servers been working fine for the last 5 days, no hiccups or anything to report, then suddenly tonight the computer crashes (for the first time since i built it) followed by a blue screen with lots of writting on it which only appeared for around 1-2secs, then it restarted. I restarted the server and the error appeared, so i tried running Tekkit, which it did ok except i lost the items that were stored to ram before the crash and for some reason the sphax texture had been disabled but it did reinable fine.

So i went straight for google to find an answer. I have deleted the Railcraft file and folder, ran the server so it replaces the files/folder itself and it still throws out this error message. No combination of deleteting, restarting or restarting my computer and deleting is working. Also tried opening the file with mcedit and re saving, still no joy there either. There must be a way to fix this without taking drastic measure, surely.

Windows 7 Ult 64bit

8gb ram

i5 2500

server and game on SSD

Any help recieved much appreciated.

Thankyou for reding.

Sslick, you should of printscreened it. taking a picture of your monitor hurt's peoples eyes.

I am getting a similar error. Mine is happening when i try to join a Tekkit server the code says: Internal Exception: java.util.zip.ZipException: Not in GZIP format

I am clueless as to what to do.

Word to the wise: back up server worlds daily, or more frequently if people are doing a lot of work on them. Sslick, you might be able to get away with a fresh server install and copying the world folder over. C_S, your world is lost, unless you have a backup. You could try deleting the world.dat file inside the folder, and seeing if the world will load, but crashed servers almost always have corrupted chunks and extra sets of issues that never fully go away without some expert work on the world with MCEdit or something.

Ya thanks guys. Torezu is right. I'm just backing up my entire server now very often. If I only back up the world it seems to still not like it so whatever. I can deal with this shitty bug until they fix it, but really I would like it to be fixed.

Thanks for the reply, its sorted my problem out, i copied the 3 world files into a new server install and everything runs fine now, il be doing regular back up now too, especially seeing as the other 3 guys on it are trying to build monsterous things aswell.

The only other thing thats weird since the new server install is that all the inventory and chest items and newly created items all appear to be really dark if that makes sense. It's like some ones turned down the contrast/brightness but only on items. weird, its not affecting game play so its not a huge concern but it wasnt happening before the server died. If theres a fix for this then great, if not, then i'l live with it.

Did you double-click the search bar in NEI? Is it yellow? Try double-clicking it again.
