What?
To aid in events, among other things, the staff's testing out an NPC plugin. It has its bugs, we're working those out, as well as what we can and can't do with this plugin. Therefore, the occasional test NPC might be found on the server.
That said, any found Ko'Ban NPC might be real. If you want to do anything in regards to this, kindly contact the staff. Mainly SentaiPink.
All other NPCs? Please ignore them.
If you have any questions, again, contact staff.
Why even leave the buggers around?
Testing involves multiple things. Including if the plugin lasts in the long run. Does the console save the NPCs? Does the plugin work when reloaded? Does it still work after restart? Does every single aspect of the plugin still work after restart? Does the skins change if the player with same name changes his/her skin? Does any other plugin conflict with this one? Etcetera...
KNOWN BUG:
My posts don't show in local!!!
This particular bug first occured yesterday. It seem to relate to the NPC name being the same as a nearby player's, and the chat plugin. That said, this bug has not occured every single time in this scenario. That might limit the occurances to the following criteria:
- Player with same name is nearby and the chat plugin suddenly gets grumpy.
- Multiple NPCs with same name are too close together.
- More than one NPC with same name as nearby player are too close together.
Why does this happen? It's likely that the NPC plugin is colliding with the chat plugin in this case (we got a very old chat plugin that's likely based on player name rather than UID). What can be done about it? The chat plugin can't be worked with in this case other than removing yourself from the area. We'll find a workaround for the NPC plugin which so far seems possible. If you notice this bug in any other occurance, please let the staff know!
See you all IG!
