Investigate a missing InventoryRollbackPlus event record
Applies to: InventoryRollbackPlus; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .
InventoryRollbackPlus can record several player events, but a missing record may be outside retention or may never have been captured. The existence of a plugin folder does not guarantee every historical inventory is available. Check the record path before telling a player their items are recoverable.
Record the starting point
Collect the player's exact identity, approximate incident time and event type. Record the plugin version and configured storage. Preserve the current data and configuration before changing capture or retention options, because a new policy cannot recreate a record that was never stored.
Work through the change
- Inspect the player's available records and their timestamps through the documented interface. Compare nearby event types rather than assuming every entry represents a death.
- Review the generated configuration's capture and retention settings for the installed release. Check the relevant documented event permissions, such as deathsave, joinsave or leavesave, and any inheritance that may deny them.
- Use a consenting test account to produce one harmless event of the missing type. Check the console for storage errors and confirm whether a new record appears.
- Correct only the identified capture, permission or storage problem. Repeat the event and document the oldest reliable recovery point that actually remains.
Check the result
New test events should produce the expected record, and staff should know whether the original incident has a usable checkpoint. Retention counts and event frequency determine history differently from a calendar promise. State that distinction clearly when discussing available recovery.
If the result differs
If no new events save, inspect the first storage error and relevant permissions. If new records save but the old one is absent, compare retained history and other backup sources. Avoid repeatedly changing retention while expecting deleted records to return.
Restore any ineffective trial setting and preserve remaining records. Use a separate verified server backup only through an approved recovery process if the plugin record is unavailable. Do not fabricate an inventory or delete the player data to force a new entry.
