I have the same problem. Check the logs all I see is the zone going down and the server bring it back up.

I am having this problem on my server as well. When you tell the ranger to use archery, it crashes the zone.

Here's the code:

zone/bot.cpp (http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/source/browse/trunk/EQEmuServer/zone/bot.cpp?r=1064#9282)

if(!strcasecmp(sep->arg[1], "archery")) {
if((c->GetTarget() == NULL) || (c->GetTarget() == c) || !c->GetTarget()->IsBot()) {
c->Message(15, "You must target a bot!");
return;
}

Mob *archerbot = c->GetTarget();
if((archerbot->GetClass()==WARRIOR)||(archerbot->GetClass()==PALADIN)||(archerbot->GetClass()==RANGER)||(archerbot->GetClass()==SHADOWKNIGHT)||(archerbot->GetClass()==ROGUE)) {
//const Item_Struct* botweapon = database.GetItem(archerbot->CastToBot()->GetItem(SLOT_RANGE));
const Item_Struct* botweapon = database.GetItem(archerbot->CastToBot()->GetItem(SLOT_RANGE)->item_id);
uint32 archeryMaterial;
uint32 archeryColor;
uint32 archeryBowID;
uint32 archeryAmmoID;
uint32 range = 0;
if(botweapon && (botweapon->ItemType == ItemTypeBow)) {
archeryMaterial = atoi(botweapon->IDFile+2);
archeryBowID = botweapon->ID;
archeryColor = botweapon->Color;
range =+ botweapon->Range;
botweapon = database.GetItem(archerbot->CastToNPC()->GetItem(SLOT_AMMO)->item_id);
if(!botweapon || (botweapon->ItemType != ItemTypeArrow)) {
archerbot->Say("I don't have any arrows.");
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcheryRange(0);
return;
}
range += botweapon->Range;
archeryAmmoID = botweapon->ID;
}
else {
archerbot->Say("I don't have a bow.");
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcheryRange(0);
return;
}
if(archerbot->CastToBot()->IsBotArcher()) {
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcher(false);
archerbot->Say("Using melee skills.");
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_PRIMARY, archerbot->CastToBot()->GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_PRIMARY, &TempErrorMessage));

if(!TempErrorMessage.empty()) {
c->Message(13, "Database Error: %s", TempErrorMessage.c_str());
return;
}
//archerbot->SendWearChange(MATERIAL_PRIMARY);
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_SECONDARY, archerbot->CastToBot()->GetBotItemBySlot(SLOT_SECONDARY, &TempErrorMessage));

if(!TempErrorMessage.empty()) {
c->Message(13, "Database Error: %s", TempErrorMessage.c_str());
return;
}
//archerbot->SendWearChange(MATERIAL_SECONDARY);
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcheryRange(0);
}
else {
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcher(true);
archerbot->Say("Using archery skills.");
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotRemoveEquipItem(SLOT_PRIMARY);
//archerbot->SendWearChange(MATERIAL_PRIMARY);
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotRemoveEquipItem(SLOT_SECONDARY);
//archerbot->SendWearChange(MATERIAL_SECONDARY);
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_SECONDARY, archeryBowID);
archerbot->CastToBot()->SendBotArcheryWearChange(MATERIAL_SECONDARY, archeryMaterial, archeryColor);
archerbot->CastToBot()->BotAddEquipItem(SLOT_PRIMARY, archeryAmmoID);
archerbot->CastToBot()->SetBotArcheryRange(range);
}
}
else {
archerbot->Say("I don't know how to use a bow.");
}
return;
}


Just scanning through, it looks like there may be a spot or 2 that could end up with a null pointer, but adding some debugging code would help to verify.

There is definitely an issue here that crashes the zone when you tell your bot ranger to use archery. I have reproduced this crash and I'll have a fix committed for it later today.

Thank you for reporting it.

[WildcardX]

I just committed a fix to address this issue. Download at least r1082 from the repo and give it a try.

[Lillu]

WildcardX, you are a hero. Thanks for all your hard work!

[WildcardX]

I love your love.

[prickle]

question out of curiosity, because I haven't tried it since I discovered archery crashed my zone server. Now that it's fixed, will the bots you tell to use archery remember to use archery when you camp and respawn them? Or will you need to tell them to use archery again on respawn?

Do these ranger bots need arrows in the apprpriate slot? I hope they do not need arrows. I am getting the rangers to go with the bow but they melee anyway. So they equip it then engage with swords.

From my testing they have the Endless Quiver AA from the getgo, I gave my Ranger bot a bow and single arrow, and the arrow never disappeared.

Figures it would be so simple. Haha, thanks
