have you seen this npc server? - Page 3

Yeah, the timeout's in a corner, at 0,0 XD but anyway

is it possible to have more than one NPC server to handle the work? Would it be as simple as creating a new NPC that is of the control type and setting all the flags and scripts a like, so that there is a backup?

I highly doubt it. Surely both NPC-Servers would run each script, there would be no benefit.

Yes, true, however what if yuo divided stuff up between them somehow, and then if one crashes, use the other to take it's work, while you work on finding and fixing the problem.

ARG! This time it happened with no new changes, wtf?
And why won't the Admin Pannel ever work? I hit restart, nothing happens, i hit stop, nothing happens, and obviously, start does nothing either. Sometimes they work, but recently, i hit confirm, and nothing happens

In RC, type /stats and see if any NPCs are taking up an unusual amount of time.

I do, normally there aren't any NPCs with more than 5% (I'm being generous there, it's normally around 1% or less for the top 20 scripts)

Kind of weird problem yes. I guess some level contains a local npcs with bad script, and once someone enters the room it goes into endless-loop.

excaliber7388 · #39 03-21-2006, 04:15 AM

Thats possible, since the past few have occured when there were no recent changes to the script. I suppose I could start tracking them down, there may be a constantly true while loop serverside somewhere (I hope not, I'd feel like an idiot, but thats probably a problem)

Admins · #40 04-04-2006, 06:53 PM

The freezing should be fixed now.
Problem were things like 'while (playertouchsme) { }' which confused the optimizer which decides if an object has a script or not (and can be removed from the serverside npcs list)
