Hello,

I'm hoping that somebody can help me out with this really irritating bug that, no doubt, I've caused by doing something stupid.

We have a bug in our DB where Bards' songs do not hit bots in their group; You just get the error "Your spell did not take hold.". I have tested with a fresh PEQ DB, from the same working directory, and Bards' songs work as intended, so it's definitely DB related. Is there anything that could cause such an issue?

I'm familiar with MySQL, but not to the extent where I could work out this issue. I have spent the best part of 12 hours looking into it, to no avail. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Few more hours later and I figured out what was causing this bug.

Somehow, our rule Spells:MaxBuffSlotsNPC had been set to 100, this caused Bards' songs to no longer take effect on Bots - not sure how, not really bothered why. I reduced it back to 25 and this was fixed. Hopefully others who do something silly like this can learn from my mistakes, and not spend over 12 hours fixing it :p
