Npc Spawn 2.7.9

This dependency is stopping all NPC's from moving on the server. Have troubleshooted the issue NPCspawn is 100% the issue.

See what version you have and look at what circumstances you are referring to.

With one of the recent Facepunch updates NPCs use a lot more resources, this has happened in the past but it was a big jump and was causing a lot of serious server lag and issues at certain counts. We had done research and we concluded that most average servers would have a lot of issues if they were to get around 1000 NPCs on the map at once all moving and such.

NPCs outside of active player range will be dormant with the recent versions to combat this. If you are having issues check that you have the current version of NpcSpawn and any plugin that uses them. Is it BetterNpc NPCs that you're referring to?

Sick thank you for following up here too so I know it's taken care of!

would you please show an example config value that you pass to the api call?  Specifically the hashset for states.

thanks

Возможно, у вашего сервера нет доступа к чему-то. Что происходит, когда возникает эта ошибка? Обновляли ли вы другие плагины, которые использует NpcSpawn, с момента выхода обновления?

It was fixed yesterday. Always recommend reading all of the update notes. All you have to do is either use new configs or grab a copy from a backup if you customized them. Or you can even just replace the prefab path. The update was inadvertently clearing the prefab path if you use option 4 or 5 for loot.

@Jbird@FoXy I was once given this solution for this

hello how can i fix this?


Calling hook CanEntityTakeDamage resulted in a conflict between the following plugins: NpcSpawn - False (Boolean), HeliSignals (True (Boolean))

What is happening when that error occurs? That helps to answer the question to be honest.

Check your versions of NpcSpawn, BetterNpc, or any Events that you updated that day. Likely one or more just need an update and you should be good to go.

I redownload all of them but it still freezing my server after about 5hrs of the server running I have removed them all for now

Here is a list of what you need to check. Check the versions and make sure they are current. Use the plugins command or check them manually. Current at the time of this post.

• NpcSpawn 2.5.7
• BetterNpc 1.2.6
• HarborEvent 2.1.8
• SatDishEvent 2.1.5
• JunkyardEvent 2.1.2
• PowerplantEvent 2.1.2
• ArcticBaseEvent 1.0.9
• GasStationEvent 1.1.2

Kind of the same issue except now its only after the update about 5 hours ago.

Before that everything was running perfect with them all week, massive FPS hit now for some reason. Not 1/2 like WP does, very playable, but lots of banding all of a sudden. Only updated this CS last night. (Water patrol related code responsible? lol) I have WP disabled for now anyway, still, somethings weird. And I kinda screwed myself out of the backup cs just incase. Woops, wish we could grab previous versions.

Example. I set the SFPS to 60 and typically SFPS stays there. Past 5 hours, say Harbor Event fires, fps drops to 45-49 just from that one event now. 1 or 2 more fire from npc spawn and its in the 20s and rubber banding every 2 min or so. Night before I could fire 4 of his events and it would sniff & laugh at 60 still.

Just curious are you using an older version of the plugin now? If you were having issues we wouldn't mind knowing about them. We don't want people to have to revert versions if there are any known issues we can fix.

Ya.

It was minor FPS dips with the new version, but it was enough that people were complaining.

When I got on myself & drove around it was a slight stutter every 2 minutes after updating or so.  Reverting back to last weeks version, there was no stuttering at all. And cost per event running went from 0 (At 60 capped) with old version, to about 5-10 per event. on new one. I didn't do a lot of narrowing, it totally couldve been something else, but I did reboot the server 3 times (With the new version exclusively) and the only change between the first & last reboots was changing back to the old version and the small dips vanished.

Have now tried going back through all previous versions, still getting this error:

Error while compiling NpcSpawn: Unterminated raw string literal. | Line: 1665, Pos: 81

Anyone any idea?

updates are made to comprehensively improve the product, and not for you to simply download it again, since you are also asking for support for an outdated product) I have been using the plugin since the 1st day of the update and have not experienced any problems, and judging by the fact that there is no million messages from different users, I'm not the only one, thank you, I hope your problem will be solved with the current version
