Bandit Camp Vendor is not always loading in automatically after our daily server restarts

Hello @Wrecks

Like your plugin, our players seem to be enjoying it.

We do seem to have a problem where the Bandit Camp Vendor is not always loading in automatically after our daily server restarts.

The plugin is loading, as we can see the bounty NPC's spawning in at the monuments OK, but for some reason the vendor is not always loading at bandit Camp.

Have to reload the plugin, so he actually spawns. Not seeing any error messages to explain why he does not load on initial restart.

Not sure if its relevant, We are using the latest version of Carbon, and the plugin. Server is also up to date.

I dont have a carbon server, send your config, if it is set to dynamic, it should auto spawn, there is 2 preset points he can spawn at

The plugin just uses regular oxide hooks so it should work fine with carbon.

Id also use marker manager as a test, make sure you set allow marking the npc with marker manager to true, reload, and if you see the marker he is there.

Marker doesnt stay if the entity doesnt exist.

After reboot he is there, send your config if you want me to try off that

We are already using the marker manager, which does show him on the map, after we relad the plugin.

Here is the config file.

Ill try to load a carbon server, but yeah it works here on test

In the meantime you can just do a timed execute and restart it a few seconds after  server init, until i get a chance to figure out how to setup carbon on local

Testing now 

I see it spawning, trying to log on to see now if i set up local host right

I 

We have marker manager and Economics loaded.

Yeah that’s not an issue it spawns it still, I have economics and MM loaded. 

I see two versions of Marker Manger.

Marker Manager DezLife 3.0.3

Marker Manager DezLife modified by BlueDev 4.0.1

Which one does the plugin support?

I use the main one on UMOD 

Are your bounties marked? 

Yes, bounties show up on the map marked correctly.

unless its just loading before everything else somehow, on oxide it loads fine on initialization, and through debug i see it spawning on init on carbon. 

Im trying to figure out how to logon on local, never done it before 

We have been using the newer version, now testing using the older version of marker Manager.

Try

connect 127.0.0.1

if the marker loads on reload, i dont think marker manager is the issue

It spawned, It seems onserverinitialized gets called quicker on oxide than carbon, - might be vice versa, i been up too long  testing with an offset of the methods that rely on others being loaded.

I see it spawned by placing debug further in the code. logging on to see

With Delay i see the marker there, getting on to verify, but it should be there, if the entity was null the marker would not be there, relogging with auth 2

On Initial load

Rebooting for one more test then ill send this over in a message. ill have to tweak the other npc plugins i have as they use the same methods.
