Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
Bug ID : 365 - Just inside the Khal bank ther... Bug Date : 2015/12/11 04:06:59 Assigned To : Jakkal Priority : Low Category : VGClient Sub-Category : Gameplay: Other Severity : Standard Reproducible : Every timeDetails:
Just inside the Khal bank there is an NPC cat named "Shadow." When I target it, it shows up in my DEFENSIVE target window. I don't remember NPCs ever doing that (though I suppose it is possible with is a remnant of someone's pet, though it doesn't look like any pet I've ever seen).
Originated From World: New Telon (1) Chunk : Khal (85) Location : -4889 -50573 1594

Kill the kitty.
Re: Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
Is this some bizarre initiation ritual?! Okay, let's kill a kitty.
Re: Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
Okay, I used .spawn remove on him. I hope this was the right thing to do, as he's gone now. I couldn't find anything in the DBE that would let me remove it from the world.
But he's gone now, from New Telon and Targonor.

That is exactly right. Now, hopefully kitty doesn't come back after a server restart
You can also go to the kitties Actor record, click on Locations, and delete the Unreal Location Name record, which will ensure he never appears again.
But what we really want to do is first ensure it is in fact a Pet, and a Players Pet, and not an NPC who should be there (eg,. an NPCs pet)

I believe this one was a cash shop pet.
Re: Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
He came back, I solved the problem.
Re: Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
I made him a killable NPC while I was messing around in the DBE. But he'll still come back.
John: When I look at the DBE, on the location tab, it says: Status: No data for record id: 850305
That's all it says. That's all it said when I checked earlier, but I thought you might have removed him. But he's sitting pretty on New Telon right now, and there's no Location Tab info.
I don't see any other location information in the DBE for this pet.

Re: Bug 365: (Jakkal) Just inside the Khal bank ther...
Here's the rub; I've been complaining about our master spawn list for a year, and how it doesn't "really" reload anything. So you can delete a spawn completely from the database, yet it's still in memory. When you .reload spawns, it doesn't clear the list and re-load, it just adds new shit to the existing list - thus Kitty will keep respawning until I completely restart the server.
I complain about a lot of things, but we lack the resources to address them all (it's a huge list) so until I can sit down myself and rewrite how spawns are handled, this is what we're stuck with. Note that this will need to be addressed before Content Design starts, because I cannot have errant data showing up for people building the world.

No worries, I just didn't know if I was missing something, or if something was supposed to be working, but wasn't for this NPC. He's set to killable now, so people can just whack him as a loot pinata.
