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?

Sorry for the delayed response. Had you sorted this out?

What is happening when that pops up? Could be from a lot but let's narrow down which NPCs are throwing the error and when and go from there. Any changes you've made recently that we can backtrack and check?

been the same config the entire time, just loaded into my test server to spawn bots and getting this. doesnt affect anything that i can see, just says it every time it loads.

Correct but which bots are you spawning in? NpcSpawn is API for other plugins to use. It doesn't spawn bots without another plugin telling it where to spawn them and what their configuration is.

It's only on the test server that this is happening? I'd go through checking to make sure everything is the same between the two. It's very easy to let plugins get out of date or to have other version mismatches on a test server if it's not used regularly, or even if it is. I'd start there then I'd look at config changes or backtracking any other recent changes.

will be a fix for the error messages in the console when the NPCs are spawning?

That didn't show me anything specific. I meant recently. I do see what you are saying though near the end of October. I suppose what I mean to say is that if it were a problem with the plugin overall we would be getting a lot more reports.

If you are in the Mad Mapper Discord create a ticket, if not feel free to join. We can help to look into the error. We need as much details as possible the error only tells so much.

Do you know at all what is happening around the time this error occurs? It may be a config option but only because I'm curious and not sure what the key is referencing there. If you can tell us what happens when the error occurs we might be able to more quickly find out what this is about.

It would also be worth reloading plugins like NpcSpawn and anything that is using it to see if they are loading properly.

Yes they are always kept current both here and on the Google drive.

When you reload either of those plugins do you see any error occur during the loading messages?

Do you have Discord? Would you be interested in jumping into the Mad Mapper Discord and opening a ticket there? Can look into the files, grab video clips, and figure out what's causing this to happen in your case.

Greetings, is there a list of which weapon types and / or ammo types the NPCs can't use ?

For example in Convoy if I equip an npc with a rocket launcher and give it fire rockets it wont attack.
Or the new weapon like the m4 shotgun (but that's fine, I assume its not added yet)

I'm finding the trial and error of equipping different weapons and / or ammo types quite tedious.
Fyi we mainly only use this for Convoy and some of Adem's plugins at the moment.

It would be great to know if its not too much to ask from a lovely free plugin api

There are very few, single digits, weapons that might not work. We will look into the new weapon soon. Otherwise there may be one bow type that I can think of that they cannot use.

As to rocket launchers NPCs will use these when the player is inside or behind defenses that they must raid to get to the player. They do not use them for normal attacks.

As to the ammo types I don't recall there being any that do not work.

Hi Jbird, thanks a lot for the hasty and clear reply!

That's great to know.
Okay I will have to experiment a little further and see if there is a restriction within Adem's Convoy plugin then.

Happy to help!

Adem's plugins and any other that use NpcSpawn, this is the plugin that gives them their functions and such, so it would likely not be an issue with another plugin. It's possible but unlikely. With that information though it should expedite your tests and give you a clearer idea of expectations.

Let us know if you run into other questions, feel free to drop them here, a support request, or better yet we are quite active in the Mad Mapper Discord as well and have a ticket system.

Have fun with it!

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

Got this today, just a heads up.

Can you get any context like when that is coming up or what is happening?

Have you pointed this out to the BradleyDrops developer too? Haven't used it myself so don't know what all it does until I have a chance to look into it.

In any case more context like what entity is in question for example could be helpful.
