NPC/Bots implementation in VCMP 0.4 Servers

[habi]

Hi PSL, i thought so much but still could not figure where is the problem.

Can you provide me dumpfile.pcap which i can analyse to findout the cause of the kick?

It is simple process. I will explain step by step. I hope it will not trouble you.
1. Download and install Loopback Adapter from https://npcap.com/ (Downloads-> Npcap 1.77 installer for Windows )
(while installing just click next, next and finish )
2. This great tool https://www.netresec.com/?page=RawCap which will capture traffic.
3. Now open command prompt and navigate to the folder containing rawcap.exe

Code Select Expand

rawcap 127.0.0.1 dumpfile.pcap-127.0.0.1 is always the address of Loopback adapter
-This will start sniffing
4.
Do not press Ctrl+C yet
5. Start VCMP Server. NPC will connect and will get kicked.( if npc is not kicked, you can restart server again )
6. Now npc is kicked, close the server and comeback to rawcap console and press Ctrl+C
7. Hopefully you get a file dumpfile.pcap which contains cause of kicking npc.
Share dumpfile.pcap with me and i will examine the traffic towards npc to find out the problem.


Also could you check if this fixes the problem:

function onPlayerRequestClass(player,classID,team,skin)
{
    if(state[player.ID].isnpc==true)return true;
}
function onPlayerRequestSpawn(player)
{
    if(state[player.ID].isnpc==true)return true;
}
function onPlayerSpawn(player)
{
    if(state[player.ID].isnpc==true) onNPCSpawn(player.ID);
}

Hi Habi, I did what you told me to do, and I was lucky enough to catch a kick the first time. I hope this was helpful.
Not only armor, increasing health will also result in being kicked, because I set up, after killing people to increase health, NPC health increased from 94 to 100, the NPC was kicked, the increase in health is done in the server onPlayerKill event.
I will try to catch this health increase kicked error, if there is I will change this post.

Thank you PSL, i am happy that you were able to record the traffic.
That will contain enough information. I will be working on it soon. thank you again

Oh God, when i closely examined the file, the bug was before my eyes. It took me one minute only to fix it.

Here is a fixed version for you. Please replace the executable with the following one and tell me if the problem is fixed.
npcclient-fix.7z

thank you.

HI Habi, Thank you very much, I used the version without timer, that is, I originally sent the code to be kicked, after using this did not happen to be kicked, the NPC was never kicked from the beginning to the end, the problem has been fixed.

[habi]

You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that the issue has been resolved and that the NPC is no longer getting kicked.

Thankyou PSL, it was database problem and is now solved.

Hello, habi. Can you update the save location of the recording file?  I want to save it directly in the npcscripts/recordings folder, so that it can be played back directly, without manually copying the past.
