this has become a nuisance again. leaving npc's on the home server. if you spawn them, you kill them. if you are caught doing this, i will lock down all the servers. thank you for you cooperation in this matter. thank you all. MOTREC |

Someone left a bot on the server that looks very much like a crazy Darth Vader. All it does is spam buzz-saw moves over and over again. I think someone called it MO something. Please remove this bot cause its hogging all my bandwidth! _______________ Gone but hopefully not forgotten... |

Yeah okay guys/gals. I know now what to do, (I didn't at the time). At least I'm not the only one that this has happened to. It won't happen again from me that's for sure.

Yeah, if they don't run out at you automatically, run up and use force pull or grip them out. And if you don't make it in time, and you feel that you won't be able to take on 2 of them after you open the door, ask someone else on the server for assistance.

Virty said that he had a script which got them to walk out of their doors, but didn't get the script into it or something. But anyway, if you can't get them out, use force pull. But anyways, I hope this passes sometime soon. It'd suck having it happen all the time.  |

It IS a pain when they don't come out and get locked behind the door. I know, it's happened to me.

Well, the thing is, we shouldn't have to have a blocknpc thing. Everyone should know not to release NPCs from the room. Although it's not directly stated in the rules, it's still a rule. People are expected to use common sense with this. So, the NPC rooms will still be locked down until people can respect this. I appologize for those of you who have to suffer because your peers can't use their heads. But hopefully this will let them know that it's not something that we will tolerate. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.

Quote: Oooops sorry guys. Ithink I was guilty of something like this last night. I spawned an npc on wireplay, (far left door) and it didn't come out after me. I went back to the control pad thingy, and pressed it again. When the door opened for the second time, there were TWO behind the door. Only ONE came out! I killed it eventually, (after it killed me once) and left the room. I apologise to the next person who spawned an npc from that far left ?bunker. It won't happen again, I promise. I can assure you however, I didn't let one run loose! I'm fairly sure I was the next person who tried to spawn one on the left. NP though, I'm so 1337 it really doesn't matter. I've been a fan of the BlockNPC idea since the first map with spawners was released (academy_beta_2... I think). Of course there's no point adding it now, but it's definitely something to have on the to-do list for the next version. As far as I know, it doesn't affect server FPS significantly (about the same as any other collision-detection instance, like a wall, just with an added check for who's touching it).

Quote: The thing is guys, the NPC blocking shader is not very effective, cannot be applied to the map now (unless you want to convince everybody to download the 20+ MB again) and doesn't fix one major problem that the NPCs cause: every NPC uses precious processing power. Oh I agree, don't get me wrong here. I know it won't solve the problem, but it will keep the NPC's from roaming around like this. Perhaps a script in JAR that can be activated at wish, that when the server is empty, all NPC's are automatically killed?

Well, if it can't be put in for any reason, then people should know not to do it anyway. I guess it helps people to learn not to do stuff like that...  |

Okay, I just finished locking down the NPC rooms on all servers. Obviously they are being abused and even after this post was made some people don't take it into consideration.

Wow, today I visited both Home and Classes. On each server, I found an NPC just stood there in the NPC room. There was no one on Classes, and I didn't get much from the people on Home. These encounters are just becoming so frequent... |

I agree with this.

Twice this week I've been attacked by npc's as I entered the room, I know I'm not the only one either. This is getting out of hand as is leaving mines out and not to mention laming in the fort.
