Boss Monster 2.1.3

After using it, an error of "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an objectclass" will be output in Console. How can I solve it?By the way, I have purchased your plug-in, but not on this account

Generally it is best to seek support on the account you purchased a plugin on.

But that being said, reload the plugin and you can share what you get in console. This should lead to where there might be an error.

hello this is an easy one. can we do a public chat announcement of people who kills the boss monster or who gets killed. i think its a fun server interaction to cheer for those who are trying to kill or help him. If we get the PVP zone, then counter opportunities are also possible.

Technically this already exists there are a couple plugins that do this to be honest. I just wanted to share that though you may already be aware of plugins that will show deaths and kills in different ways.

I'll add this as a suggestion to consider for upcoming updates.

could you share because i asked because i dont know

also, how does the standard monument location work?

      "Location setting": {
        "Type of appearance on the map (0 - random; 1 - own list; 2 - standard monuments)": 0,
        "List of biomes for random appearance": [
          "Arid",
          "Temperate",
          "Tundra",
          "Arctic"
        ],
        "Own list of locations": [
          "(-437.1, 62.1, -268.4)"
        ],
        "List of locations on standard monuments": {}

Can I just type in launchsite? or is it manual? would be great to have automatic (just type airfield) and manual (lets say I want him to spawn inside the warehouses in airfield)

If AdvancedAlerts doesn't do it yet it will soon or I'll fight @ProCelle haha. DeathNotes does it and has a few different integrations for the kill feed. Anything with a kill feed of some kind might do it honestly and there are a few out there I'd look around a little bit because what I'm familiar with might not be what you're looking for. Notify and GUIAnnouncements both work with the plugin as well.

• /SetType 2 "Boss Name"
  • sets appearance type for Boss Name to 2 (for standard monuments)
• /SavePos "Boss Name"
  • saves a new position to config for the appearance of Boss Name
  • uses whatever appearance type you have set for Boss Name (0, 1 or 2)

not working after today's update

No worries work started on this immediately after the update was released and was anticipated.

Stay tuned!

I have the new NPC spawn on it, bosses are there with little HP.

But no Better NPC yet  

when I load Bossmonster I get spam

None at all? Have gotten reports about the HP issue it is next to get sorted out obviously. Thank you for the feedback.

Is that RCON console? Do you have another console that gives more information? Sometimes I notice that RCON will have less than my main console so I always check there to see if it gives more specifics.

If you stop the plugin does it stop the spam?

Überhaupt keine? Ich habe Berichte über das HP-Problem erhalten, das offensichtlich als nächstes aussortiert werden soll. Danke für die Bewertung.

 

Ist das die RCON-Konsole? Haben Sie eine andere Konsole, die mehr Informationen liefert? Manchmal bemerke ich, dass RCON weniger als meine Hauptkonsole haben wird, also schaue ich dort immer nach, ob es mehr Einzelheiten gibt.

Wenn Sie das Plugin stoppen, stoppt es dann den Spam?

yes he stops 

and Better NPC loads but there are none there

I can also confirm the console spam. It's very similar to what happens when the Bosses are placed on terrain they cannot navigate. I've been assuming this is from the code in BossMonster not being up to date with NPCSpawn as of yet.

Thank you for confirming. Need to reproduce sometimes to get the quickest fix but will sort it out.

Just need to see what we can do to reproduce this instances since it's not happening everywhere, at least I'm not getting those. A lot of work was put into making NpcSpawn sufficient without requiring much coding changes on all of the other plugins. So this is somewhat intentional to be honest as far as there not being an update for BossMonster just yet. Most of it just needs rewritten due to the AI changes that were implemented.

Thank you for the feedback. Need to see what this is referring to especially for it to be frequently.

If you have another main console that has more detail with that error or your logs or something that has more information might be helpful to diagnose what the cause of some of the errors that are popping up. The bugs and plugin not working as desired with things like HP and proper navigation so just stay tuned and we will sort it all out as quickly as possible.

Everyone head to the Google doc and update to the newest version of NpcSpawn.

Then continue to let us know if anything else comes up. Thank you!

I'm still receiving the same error in console - HP is fixed though!

To add to this:
It looks like the plugin is now having a conflict with ScientistNames.cs - The icons on the map read as the random names assigned from that plugin rather than the Boss names set.
In my case, the Bosses don't move or attack, but do use their abilities. - I assume this is why I'm getting the error from before, as they seem to be stuck without any pathing.
