Bots causing zone crash

Nightrider84 · #1 07-15-2015, 01:30 PM

Everytime a bot camps or dies it crashes the zone any thoughts as to what might cause this?
Also only seems to happen in certain zones. And since I updated the server recently my bots don't zone with me, they seem to camp out after zoning and I hafto disband the group and resummon them.
Should i consider sourcing in load_bots again? or will that wipe the current bots on my server?

Do you have the latest source? I would say probably not because those are old problems that were recently fixed by natedog. That Sql will not help

Yeah, it sounds like the old problems from a month or so ago. There also may be required sql updates that need to be patched into your database.

A lot of these problems have been ironed out as of the new source and bots are highly stable compared to what they used to be, I've fixed around 10 crashes with them myself and Natedog re-wrote a lot of broken logic. You'll have to update your source if you want them to be worth using.

My source is from a couple weeks ago, which is why it didn't make sense to me.

pffft apparently I compiled the code but I forgot to move the files over....fail

Always nice when there's an easy fix!

Yeah im hoping that it fixes the issue ill find out here shortly, im recompiling today anyway just to make sure ive got the most up to date

So I recompiled the server. with the latest git pull and bots still dont zone with my toons. I don't seem to be getting the zone crash when they camp or die anymore. but the not zoning thing is more of an annoyance than anything. I even went and sourced in all the updates from required and optional from 4 months ago till now.

Do they not zone ONLY if there are more than 1 client in the party?

They seemed to zone fine with me when its just my character in the party.. but adding other players does mess it up (currently). I know what the reason is, I just never had the time to go and fix it.

Nightrider84 · #11 07-16-2015, 10:19 AM

no its just 1 bot and my toon, two weeks ago they zoned fine for me but now they don't even after recompile. The only thing thats changed since then is taleason helped me fix the

[MySQL Error] 1305: FUNCTION peq.GetMobTypeById does not exist
DELETE FROM `guild_members` WHERE `char_id` = '634' AND GetMobTypeById(1070934671) = 'C'

Error I was getting, Im not sure what the function does but im going try and remove it and see if it fixes the issue. if not I can simply put it back in.

I would really not like to hafto drop the bots and resource them. but im starting to run out of options for them. I might just hafto do that and see if it corrects the issue. You guys are the gods of code, im just a peon trying to cut a tree down without breaking my axe lol

update*

I decided to just drop the bots DB and resource them and that seems to have fixed my bots zoning issue. I must have missed something but the issue seems to be fixed for now.
Only thing thats left to figure out is why buffs won't stick after zoning. ohwell atleast they zone now
