Bugs in DruidsRPG223

I suppose one way to test it out would be to just have one monster type configured, then see if it happens. If not, then move onto the next monster until we find it.

And since the vampire gnats are one of the most likely causes, we could just have 16 waves of vampire gnats.

Problem is, we might never get to the end of wave 1

Keep it up, Szlat

i have seen this bug as early as wave 2 and demon is correct ii have seen titans, queens, skaajars, pupaes, mercenary krall, almost every thig

BUT!! it has not shown up until just recently with the latest beta test go'n on! so I believe its with the addition of the pet lava skjaar or something along that lines that skewed the system

i'm still seeing left over critters when the wave count starts and its when 3 lava skaajr are on

I agree with dom. I think its the lava skaarjs throwing the count off.

Also, I think there may be something about them that is crashing the server way more often than normal. Since I started using them, I have seen a crashed server dozens of times. Anyone else notice an increased frequency?

acutally yes.. this days the server crash often and often.. and yes i was thinking about red skaajar, however there might not be a direct link between crash server and skaajar ( maybe red skaajar can hit server with a load of lava, that would explain a lot)

There are 2 changes I want to make, but I am hitting problems implementing them. So thoughts please:

The hardcode players cannot be healed, by medics or engineers. I was hoping to somehow change the bar above them to indicate that - but clientside I can't get the information I need. I might need to resort to just giving a sound back. But people playing with the sound down will not pick that up. Any other thoughts? Perhaps flash them in red rather than the healing blue?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "hardcore" but I assume you mean those players who don't want to be healed. (Which, IMO, should not be a viable playing style, nor encouraged, but whatever.)

I'm not totally sure how you are planning to implement this - Are you planning on literally preventing healing of these players? If so you're going to need to make some changes to the Medic/Healing weapons anyway, so it should not be a big issue to send a message to the owner of that weapon that the player being hit does not want to be healed.

There is a new hardcore ability which does stop others healing you.

monsters of the same class are fighting each other..
pic here

that happens too with skaajars.. etc

oh and it looks good the pic!

oh sorry didnt read the post saying this:

# There was a lot of inconsistency in the SameSpecies code. Some monsters thought they were they same species as other monsters, but they did not agree. Which is way too complicated to understand and could cause exploits. So DC versions of all used monsters created, with the SameSpecies just identifying exactly the same species. So an Ice Skaarj is the same species as an Ice Skaarj, but not the same as a Skaarj or a Fire Skaarj.

yes like said earlier server crashes are awful. whenever i get hit by something such as a titans rock or killed by a group of warlords or say a lava skaarj, it crashes, ut2004 closes and it comes up with an error message.
This is obviously annoying and I'm still unsure whether its me or the server.
