In what instance would this be needed?
-
This is a duplicate ticket. Please see response in other ticket.
-
Interesting! Thank you for the update. Glad to hear it has been resolved.
-
Check things like a custom map file that you are loading, positions for bosses, things of this nature. There is likely one or more boss that is trying to spawn in a place that it cannot. Depending on what settings you use, a fresh install of the plugin can confirm that there is an issue. If you have done much to customize, then keep copies of your adjustments if you do this.
-
Thank you for your diligence in testing and observing this. And yes depending on the time that this is being observed, NpcSpawn is used in many plugins and BetterNpc alone does check many NPCs at any given time. As long as you are not noticing performance issues that you think are a cause, then it is normal and not a concern.
-
Thank you, let me know what you find. No rush.
-
Is NpcSpawn working properly, including its use by other plugins that use NpcSpawn?
-
No worries at all and not a waste of time. Would just need to know what damage is taking place to be able to sort it out. We may still try to run some further testing to see if we can sort out what the conflict is but for now if there is no major issue that we can note and they are performing properly next to each other, whatever it is must be minor and rare. Let us know if you do track down what is happening when the error occurs!
-
There is already more than one timer, time between events (which includes when server starts) and length of event for example, along with a few more minor timers. I will add it to our notes as a suggestion for the developer as far as a post wipe timer. They may consider adding this for all events. Short term you can disable this and enable it manually or with a timed command that will start the event at a certain time. -
No it is not.
-
No problem. We all have those moments where the answer is staring us in the face! haha Any time!
-
Is there an entity that they seem to be running into? Which map is this happening on? Are there any console errors at the time this is happening?
-
Yeah I do see an increase of just over 800 heavy scientists in the two screenshots. Some things to consider in this change. Ensure that the heavy scientist is your base NPC in the NpcSpawn configuration file. It likely is. If it is, the one thing that could greatly affect this is going to be which files you have enabled, and what changed in the maps. Perhaps the other map had less monuments, so this map having more monuments or more viable locations to spawn in general has led to this. One other thing to consider would be the timing. If perhaps one event or more were active at the time, certain events may produce a lot of NPCs in a small amount of time that could also contribute to what you saw in that snapshot. Check the numbers more periodically, let us know if you are having performance issues that you think are a result of this, and any other information you can collect and notice.

In the future please create a new ticket as this ticket is over a year old and will send notifications to the original ticket author. To answer your question yes that is correct. If you intend to come back to certain maps again or often, you can simply disable the custom files and enable them when you return to the map. But yes custom spawn points will need changed when the maps change as they are set by map positioning. Read up in the Description and ask questions if you get stuck on anything. Just use the Discussion tab or create a new ticket if you need support. You can also always jump into the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket there.

NRE are actually most often a configuration issue. Look into exactly when this error starts to appear, and use that to sort out which plugin that is using NpcSpawn is throwing the error, and we can sort out step by step the source and what needs done to resolve this. More information is helpful like what plugin using this starts or is running, how often it comes up, things of that nature.
-
Please don't apologize I completely understand. I just started a new job in the past few weeks and I have been doing a lot of traveling, and have a lot going on outside of that. So I completely understand. Take your time and just reply when you've had a chance. No rush at all. Just to offer you can also always jump into the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket there. Be sure to tag me and KpucTaJl if you do and we can continue dialogue there. Otherwise here is fine I will be watching for a reply whenever you can get to it.

NPCs will use rocket launchers only when players are inside of a base or behind built defenses. They do not use them in normal battle. You can use the multiple grenade launcher for something like this otherwise. -
What you are likely noticing is that the NPCs are inactive outside of player range. Usually it should not be noticeable. Performance is always something to check and consider. Quite some time ago when NPCs got a large update in their AI, their performance impact in large numbers grew exponentially. So this option was added to the configuration. "Enable sleeping NPCs outside of player range to improve performance? [true/false]": false, Setting it to false like I have above will let all NPCs move around at all times, but if you have any server performance issues you may want to set it back to true and reload. -
I think I am following you. Can you get a video clip showing the ammunition increasing? Or can you confirm do you mean that a reload is able to be carried out even if no bullets are spent, or the amount in the magazine is increasing as they reload? Thank you for testing this. The last time the information was shared I did not get any feedback whether it worked or helped, and I do believe it was for the same interaction with the same plugin.
-
Will run it again myself and have the developer run it as well. What I find odd is that the card reader is lit up. An error would be helpful. Do you have a test server that you can try this without other plugins running? Or quiet periods of action on the server where you can unload other plugins and run the event with only the necessary plugins running?
-
Yes they are in the Description. But I will share them here. void OnSatDishEventStart() — called when the event starts void OnSatDishEventEnd() — called when the event ends void OnSatDishEventWinner(ulong winnerId) — called at the end of the event, where the winnerId is the player who did more actions to complete the event

No there really should not be since that is simply a damage indicator for damage input. And the errors are not showing. These are what the developer would like to check. As essentially on his review of the error it is saying that the NPC has nothing on their belt as if the hotbar for a player, which could happen if their first held item was something like meds or throwables that had been all used. I noticed that the error indicates that this is for the Bomber NPC. He has NPC in his hands at all times and it is mainly for decoration, as they have a specific goal. But here are what the developer would like to check. Does this error occur every time Bomber is killed? I don't think that this is the case since you have reported it doesn't happen often. Does Bomber C4 have such an error in its hands? In other words are you seeing that the Bomber NPCs are holding C4 in their hands as they spawn and approach? If the error does not appear every time Bomber dies, then which death does it occur? Try testing this when possible to try to narrow down when this error is occurring. Is there an error during Bomber spawning? If it is happening when they spawn this could be another error. Once you have had a chance to check these things, if you have been able to collect this data or are still having issues, please consider creating a ticket in Discord as this is where the Developer more actively is engaged as well. You can tag me and KpucTaJl both if you would like to come to the Mad Mapper Discord and create a ticket for us to pursue further finding out the cause of this error and a fix to keep it from occurring.
-
Running this past KpucTaJl. Just to ask, have you narrowed this down to any specific NPC sets? NRE can also often be a configuration error for example, so just checking while I share the information with him.
-
No worries. If you can try getting an NpcHorse by an NpcSpawn NPC to try to find out what damage is taking place it will help a lot to be able to resolve that error. Are you getting it often?
-
Just to confirm does it work with the skill enabled, and it has this issue when it is disabled? Any chance you can get a video of the bullet increase happening? I will get with the developer again to discuss. We may want to get the two developers together to create a fix for this, you are the 2nd person to request it but I don't know that I ever got a response when the potential fix was shared.
