Common Errors

Common Errors — Backrooms | Quasar Store | Quasar Store

There are no exits, boxes or lockers

The console said Creator points loaded: 0: sql.sql was never imported, so the level layouts are empty. Import qs-backrooms/database/sql.sql — on a fresh install, as it drops the Backrooms tables first — and restart.

Every exit says Locked — Needs a keycard

Correct behaviour: most exits need a Rusted Keycard, and the lock keeps it. When a floor's exits need one, a keycard is always hidden in one of its containers. Map fragments, radio parts, film rolls and tapes reveal where the exits are.

Nothing happens for the first minutes, or no monster ever shows

Correct behaviour. Every run starts with a quiet period, and monsters only come when the group's tension is high enough — darkness, noise, low sanity and time on a floor all raise it. Some only appear at certain moments: The Still One during a blackout on Level 1, The Colossus when the lights turn red on Level X. To check a monster works, turn debug on and use /brspawn on a test server.

Exits that lead out does not seem to change anything

The setting only rolls exits that have no fixed outcome. Exits placed with the level editor keep the outcome they were given — Descend, Escape or Trap — and the shipped layouts give every exit one. To change where the doors of a level lead, edit them with /brdeveloper.

Friends who went in together ended up in different runs

A run takes newcomers only while it is younger than Time to join a run (3 minutes), on the same level (Only runs on the same level), and up to Players per run (4). Players sent in with /sendbackrooms or the export always get a run of their own.

A player who disconnected inside came back outside

Correct with the defaults: Pull out on disconnect is on and wins over Back in after reconnecting. Turn it off to put returning players back on the same level with their items.

Players from another script appear inside a run

Each run uses a routing bucket between 5000 and 5999. Another script handing out buckets in that same range shares them with the Backrooms — move that script's range.

Key	Means
`notify.too_far`	The server found the player too far from what they used — an entrance, an exit, a container or a body.
`notify.exit_locked`	The door needs an item the player does not carry — a keycard.
`notify.already_inside`	The player is already in a run.
`notify.entering_failed`	The entry was refused: the entrance was deleted or disabled, or the player was not actually dead for a death entry. The console says `No free routing bucket` in the rare case all 1,000 are taken.
`notify.machine_broke`	Not enough cash or bank for the machine's price.
`notify.item_unusable`	The item cannot be used, is not in the bag, or the player is not inside.
`notify.container_empty`	Someone in the run already searched it. It fills again after several minutes.
`general.no_permission` · `settings.no_permission`	Missing the creator or settings ace, and not a framework admin.
