Having a dedicated server and everything was working fine when today I joined and I saw that my custom roles disappeared. I checked the other roles and thos are missing too.
Getting a error like this in the console:
ERROR: Multiplayer f:115, t:1768126637553, st:1,928,090,372> INetworkPacket.sendToConnection> Exception thrown
java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "zombie.characters.Role.getName()" because "zombie.network.packets.RolesPacket.defaultForModerator" is null at RolesPacket.write(RolesPacket.java:73). Message: Packet Roles send error

Can you reproduce the role issue on a new server? What roles did you add or modify?

I can wipe the server to check out, but didnt want to lose the progress.

I added one custom (same as admin except, it cant open all the doors).

#

It was just on me

#

Also it was good yesterday, today when I joined occured the problem. But didnt edit or add roles since Thursday

#

which one could solve the problem?
