Various Client Crashes on my Server

Post by n00bgames » Wed Dec 25, 2013 1:29 pm

Just trying to figure these out and pin them down, but I'm guessing when I try to use an NPC Merchant of sorts, I crash because when I hit or Buy or Sell the merchant doesn't have his own .lua script to determine what he or she should buy/sell?

Also, even with a stocked acution house, searching most things in the AH it crashes my client the moment it starts to bring up results.

FYI: FFXI -is- updated, and DSP is at the current version as of this morning.

Anyone can confirm the top one and give me an idea as to why the second one is happening?

Actually I've noticed some of the NPCs I've been trying to use do have associated .lua files for them, most of them in fact, yet when I try to buy or sell to them my client crashes. My client does not crash on other servers when I use NPC Buy/Sell. Anyone have any ideas?

So for any shop I attempt in Bastok crashes my client, but on the DS Classic Server there are no issues. It's just a client crash, not a server crash. The only errors in my log for missing luas reference an occasional missing door.

I know Zhiklom of Dragon's Claws in Bastok Markets crashed it when I was on earlier, and it's every attempt to open a Buy/Sell prompt that crashes the client on my server.

I'm wondering if there could be something wrong with the shops.lua global, but I don't know Lua, haha. Waiting for a friend or two of mine to get through Christmas and see if they can't help me fix at least one so I can dissect the code of a working one!

So from what I gather on servers that are working fine for me, this problem is something in the code base of the current revision that's causing my client crashes due to a recent live update. Does anyone by chance happen to have some working lua files? Or is the problem with all the NPC ID's because of the SE Update? Just trying to get npc's in general working and then I can fix the others if necessary.

Could be bad text ids or something causing a crash.

It has to be something ID related I just have no idea how to find it. Is there anyway I could see the classic or test server scrips folder? I'm running with base revision built tonight tested on linux and on windows and I get the same crash in both.
