Bravo NPC-Server

Projectshifter · #1 05-08-2003, 06:23 AM

Arg, Bravo's NPC Server is QUITE annoying. We were messing with it, and everytime you reset it, wait about 1-2 minutes and it disconnects itself. It's not in the script as far as Sern says, but I haven't had a chance to sit down. But what I did skim through didn't look bad. It's making me want to pull out my hair!

Ah, more to add now!
I commented the ENTIRE CNPC and then it still died. QUITE odd. Perhaps I'll need to talk to Stefan about this =/ Sky (Manager) said it's been happening for a while.

Yeah but you can't tell those new scripters that.. They want to do things they're own way, even if their way is the wrong way.

Hmmm

I smell inefficient scripts.

What makes a script inefficient?

It could be an old version of the NPC Server , Npulse had something like this and when Stefan came on he upgraded the NPC server and the problem has not come back since.

x-x
I'm not stupid (at Least I don't think so), I have done some testing. You can reset any other NPC, but as soon as you call something like /npc<anything, if it doesn't exist> it crashes. Resetting, editing, changing, adding/removing other database NPC's works without error. But it's the CNPC that kills it if it is reset. I think we need to sit down this weekend and look over all of Bravo's scripts.

Why would you need to reset the C-NPC anyway...

Projectshifter · #8 05-08-2003, 11:28 PM

It's not JUST when you reset it, but when it's called upon using /npc<anything> and when you edit it, you need to reset it x-x

In my opnion,a script that is not being used or a script that is always crashing/bugging something..

Um, no? You don't have to reset an NPC every time you edit it, man.

(And I somehow doubt you are using if (created) in control-npc, which, if edited in a dbnpc, is one of the few reasons you would want to reset it.)
