Yeah, deleting the scripts and then finding the problem is an awesome idea! It sure beats the heck out of finding and removing the problem!

actually, i just reduced severside timeouts, and deleted svr side loops (i think all of them, at least reduced in size) so less lag havent had any problems...yet

[excaliber7388]

Well, it's happened again. My NPC server refuses to come back, and we were getting along too! There are no serverside loops or timeouts, and i removed a few useless NPCs and weapons. The NPC server still will not start with the /npcstart or the admin pannel

The NPC-Server is not affected by a ban.

[excaliber7388]

okay, well it may as well be banned x_X it still wont come back. This is the worst it's ever been, and the conditions aren't as bad (no timeouts serverside, less weapins etc). It's now been off for a day x_X. can someone please check on this??

To late to edit
Anyway, the NPC server is FINALLY back (after being down for about two days). However, I would still like to know why it went down in the first place. I am reducing loops of all kinds, both server and clientside, and I'm continuing to check the scripts. Is there anything else I should do to prevent this?

[Maniaman]

clientside loops will not affect the npcserver, unless you are triggering the server in these loops.

[excaliber7388]

I should have been more specific but yeah...i was thinking, what would happen if I made another NPC, and made it like the NPC server? I doubt anthing, but I was wondering, since in stats it says # of NPC servers:1

Runaway NPC Servers! Who ever thought this day would come? Well, I tell you, NPC Admins everywhere may be trying many different forms of methods of discipline.

I am concerned that you bring up the option of timeouts. Timeouts usually only work for children, I think NPC Servers may be different. Perhaps purchasing a leash or sending it to the corner would be better. Or is the corner a part of the timeout?

Usually timeouts involve sitting in your room, but because I am not sure of the circumstances, I cannot say for sure. But from a psychologist's point of view, I would suggest possibly depriving it of scripts as a form of punishment might help. Whenever it comes around again, throw it a script as a little reward. Little by little, you may be able to win its trust back.

But I am just not sure a mere timeout is enough in tragic and rebellious situations like these.

Well, we give him plenty of love, and support his crazed plans for graal world conquest (watch out other servers, he's coming ), but for some reason he desides to hang out for a bit...I think he went out drinking last time. Anyway, I want to know if I can have another one, or how to repair this one But I realy would like a nother, a back up for when our first one runs away, if at all possible. However, getting this one some help would be nice too
