BotReSpawn 1.2.9

Oooo this is a good one .....  Only 423 have the new vers. for $40 its $16,920.

The prev vers. there is 15 316 downloads ... so if it was $10 and only half those paid for the plugin it would be $76,580.

Prove it, show me the supply and demand curves.  If you are going to talk about economics you best have the math right too.  Those are number of downloads over many months and versions.  Current downloads are over five versions.  Right there the numbers are off.  And assuming a lower price point will get several orders of magnitude increase in sales does not match classic economics.  I suspect a lower price would get more sales, but net there is no evidence it would net more proceeds.  If you are going to make such claims, prove it.

And for those pirating plugins your ability to rationalise morally questionable choices is amazing.  Again there are alternative means of having more NPC to shoot on your server that are free other than your time to set up.  Are they as good as BotReSpawn, nope.  But they are in your budget. 

Free plugins offer no guarantee of continued support.  They literally owe you nothing, as you have paid nothing.  I understand it is inconvenient that things changed.  Facepunch was the catalyst, but that seems conveniently forgotten.  Rust as a game will continue to change.  Oxide will continue to change.  Some free plugins will stop working and not get recoded due to the complexity, or inability to continue.  It happened to many plugins this wipe.  Did you dump on all of those authors?  Or is this really about a paid alternative being offered, and not at a tiny price?  If you compare the code, line by line you will realize it is not the old code patched, it is a rewrite.  That is no trivial effort.

I am happy Steen had been working on this, and pushed it out so quickly.  Did I like spending $40 for it, nope.  Was it worth it, yes.  I even bought a copy for a friend I knew could not afford it as I like his servers.  Vested self interest.  Each of us has to decide on the value proposition. I just struggle when logical fallacies, or false equivalencies are used.

Why is every zombie in a scientist suit with guns? I don't see Murderer settings anywhere

You lose the heavy breathing for the radio noise.  But you can equip them with the same melee weapons and they go all melee on players.  Working fine on my server.

The overhaul of NPC to a single API after halloween means we will have to wait till next October to have them added back in (if at all).  I personally thought the heavy breathing was super creepy (and miss it).

It is an interesting journey we are on about NPC has had a rough start.  It will be interesting to see how it evolves.

Mals, just stop. You're cherry picking arguments.
This could go on for ever and accomplish nothing. People vented their frustration, there's no need to ask for more.
 

I'm not cherry picking, I thought it too much to reply to each and every logical fallacy presented.  Venting Frustration... You are far more polite than me in putting it that way.

Travel errors occur when used with ZombieHorde

Can you post the error messages?

What was occurring when the error fired off?

Oh, I keep getting error reports.
this is "Day_Time_Spawn_Amount": 0,
        "Night_Time_Spawn_Amount": 60,
It happens in the config I set like this:

It prints an error at night and sometimes kicks the user for this error.

Also, at night, npc's do not use lights.

alwaysuselights : Do not use lights even when in the true state.

Is this a problem with my configuration? Or is it a bug?

Can you post the entire config please, it could be some other parameter that is the issue.

When installed, will appear

damageModifier   seems to be the key here, did you alter this: "Bot_Damage_Percent": 40,   so like 0 or a tiny number perhaps?

Thanks for the reply, this is my setup for spawn npc at night.

It seems it was cut off, maybe attach it as a file?  the above lines look okay other than autospawn is false.

I'm trying to read everything and stay on top of reports but yes, please do use the Support section particularly when pasting errors - It's much easier to keep track of and make sure everything is being answered.

For anyone with the error containing
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object   at BaseProjectile.ServerUse
can you please ensure that your kit belts contain only normal bullet weapons or melee/slashing weapons?

If I can find out what specific weapon, or rogue item, causes this to happen, I'll code in protection against it.

MooDDang, I'm going to DM you. It's hard to keep track here.

Hi,
That's for internal use. You can ignore it.
