Lung Capacity Weirdness

[MacFurdith]

Hello all - I did a search on Lung Capacity and it appears others have this issue but there didn't seem to be a solution.  Hopefully someone currently knows what's going on.  

New server set up a few days ago, hosted by Bisect.  I copied solo config over and started game.  Lung Capacity was initially set at 60000, or 60 seconds in the serverconfig file.  I am set as Admin.  I get 40 seconds (default) of air time.  The weirdness however is that ALL OTHER PLAYERS get a whopping 6 seconds of air.  Now, I double checked the air time in the config file.  It is 60000.  I changed it to 80000.  No change for myself (40 seconds) or the other players (6 seconds).  I changed it to default 40000, no change for anyone (though I wouldn't notice a change for myself).  I sent a command via console to set lung capacity via worldconfig and restarted server. I did it within the game via message panel /worldconfig lung capacity 60000 and many other permutations of the number....   same result.  I reinstalled the server and got a fresh config file.  Same result.  I created a new solo game and customized the game to proper config settings, then copied that config file over...  completely changing the config - and saved it.  I still get 40 seconds, other players get 6 seconds.  

Somehow, the server is ignoring all worldconfig commands and serverconfig settings and remains stuck on me having default 40 seconds and others getting a completely unworkable 6 seconds. The only difference between me and the other players is the OP role.  

Any ideas?  We have advanced quite a ways on the server so unfortunately I'm hoping the answer isn't start over on a new world.  I don't understand how lung capacity seems to be getting ignored whereas everything else seems to be set fine.  It simply doesn't matter what I set on the config or console /worldconfig for lung capacity.  It gets ignored. 

I've included the config file with the post.   EDIT to add:  Game is 1.19.8

Some server settings don't take effect on an already existing character.

I believe this is one of them. You can run individual player commands on those characters, or nuke them out of existence and let them create a new one.

The wiki is pretty helpful on this.

Thank you!  I'll try the player commands.  I did not know about them...  I kept reading people post about solo configs being brought over and using worldconfig to fix things after server creation.  Missed player commands entirely.  As soon as Bisect gets their data center / servers back up I'll give that a shot and report back for other's education.

Welcome to the forums, @MacFurdith

The reason for no downloads of your config is that uploading files feature is currently broken.

Oh, is that happening just with Bisect, or is it a Vintage Story issue? The owner of a server I'm playing on suddenly had trouble uploading mods a day or two ago.

No, I mean downloads of the file he thought he uploaded in the first post.

Though I'm just guessing that part of the forum software is still broken.

Do a

/worldconfig lungCapacity

and check what value you get when in the world with the problem.

If it's not the desired value, set it with the same command and desired time at the end.

The config file is only used when creating new worlds, and not read once the world has been created, so changing anything in the config file will not do anything, because the parameters used is fetched from the world data file.

It should affect anyone who joins the server after the fact.

Krougal had the solution.  World config didn’t work on existing players, which was confusing as most resources indicated doing world config. but it absolutely didn’t work.  “/player entity maxoxygen ######” did the trick on existing folk. 

sorry it took a while to report back.  Thank you again everyone, especially Krougal.  Hopefully if anyone else gets stuck this will help.  There’s some bad or contradictory info out there, unfortunately.
