C++ Runtime Error with Custom NPC

[Bohbo]

I made a very simple custom NPC following these instructions.
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33005

Whenever i try and spawn the npc even just a #dbspawn the zone i am in crashes and the server gets an error.



Any help is appreciated.

Does it produce a crash log in /logs ?

The instructions in that thread look fine. Though, after using "#npcspawn create", you can use "#npcspawn add" and skip the steps of having to use #fixspawn and #repop.

I haven't had any issues with creating spawns using the #spawn command. Though, I did notice that it doesn't populate some of the fields in the npc_types table at all. It leaves some of them null such as bodytype (which should probably be defaulted to 1).

I haven't seen anything directly on the logs next time it happens i will not time and try and hunt it down. If it helps, I can copy an existing NPC and then spawn that and that seems to be fine.

Here is the last bit of the Log on latest crash from NPC spawning.

It has to do with the melee texture 1 & 2. I'll look in a little bit if no one beats me to it.

EDIT: About to push a database fix. Only guessing at default for these.

[Uleat]

Does this have to do with the 'meele' to 'melee' name change?

[joligario]

Yes and no. Not the name change itself, but the database entry not having a default and allowing null.
