Mercs preventing loot/cash sharing??
Hi !
Just noticed this, the setup is like this.. myself, the wife, and occasionally the grandkids, all play on my server.. Its working great (with your help), however when we get our mercs in the group, some missions don't add to your kill count, random players can't loot the corpses?.. I've tried this several times, and its always the same.. Is this a known bug with mercs? BTW, when using Bots, those issues disappear, Bots work normally :) I'm using the latest (well a few days old db dump), mercs work, (apart from the bug mentioned above), and I'm getting NO error logs at all.. As usual, I am very grateful for all your help :) |
bad_captain probably has a better answer for this...
I have noticed that the way bots are done, only the group leader can have bots in their group. Additional players' bots can not be added. Is everyone in the group getting experience 100% of the time? Or do they not for those odd times when other players can't loot, etc..? |

Very strange indeed! |
My first thought is that the group is somehow getting messed up. I'd have to look into it, though. Feel free to post any more information as you encounter it to help narrow this down.

KK.. just tried a little bug testing, If I'm on my own, there is no problem with my merc.. I get xp, can loot etc. when the wife is with me, the problem re-appears.. (I should point out, we each summon our mercs, THEN group), tomorrow I will try grouping FIRST, then getting mercs (but it's 04:20 here and way past my bed time). Will post more when I get it. |
That will probably help. There may be an issue when both of you are grouped and it tries to merge them (you are added to a group when you unsuspend or hire a merc). Let me know if you have the same issues grouping, then unsuspending.

YEP that seems to have sorted it :)
just tried the suspend merc/invite player/unsuspend merc there is a slight issue.. I hired a merc, and suspended it, wife did the same, we grouped, and she unsuspended her merc, I couldn't.. the button just clicked and nothing happened, I had to zone to get the merc back, HOWEVER.. loot, xp etc ALL seems to work on the small time I tested it. I WILL do more testing later today and report back here. Many thanks for your time, and your help. |
Do you think it's reassigning the partymember's merc to the party leader?
(I haven't gotten into the code yet...) EDIT: I see what you're saying b_c. |

I suspect the issue with this code from ClientPacket.cpp, handling the group invite:
Code:
if((!Invitee->IsGrouped() && !Invitee->IsRaidGrouped()) || I'll try and test it thoroughly this weekend. |
THANKS bad_captain :)
and thanks to you we have these mercs, they are great BTW I notice they are charging now... getting charged 1gold every 3 mins. are you going to add the ability to alter their charges? |
