NPC Not connecting? - DJ_Shocker - 20.04.2014

I'm seriously doubting this is a script error. So I'm posting this to Server Support.

I'm working on testing my RP script I used on 0.3x, on 0.3z. Compiles fine, no warnings or errors and nothing has changed in the script since it was last used back in November 2013.

I cannot get the NPC to connect. It doesn't even show in the server logs. This is 0.3zR2 Windows Server 2008 R2 system.

Any ideas? Everything is in the right place (I think i would know, i ran the RP server for 2 years lol) and yes maxnpc is not 0

I can just think about two things:

1) The register/login system is blocking them.

2) You're putting on the playback param the name of the .rec file, not the .pwn and .amx files you put outside the "recording" folder inside the folder "npcmodes".

Nope. Nothing in the script has changed since it was last used in November 2013 and it connected perfectly.

I triple checked that. >.> everything is as it should be.

UPDATE:

I used the last 0.3x version and the NPC connects just fine. On my 0.3zR2, it won't.

You might not have maxnpc set in your server.cfg. Should be set to the number of NPCs in your server.

No you didn't, you said:

yes npcmodes is not 0

Not maxnpcs. But I understand now that was a typo.

Anyways, are you using any memory hacking plugins related to NPCs, FNPC for instance? It was updated for 0.3z recently and requires an update for older versions.

Yes it was a typo. My apologies lol

no it doesn't need a plugin. It's just a cop that stands at LSPD.

Re: NPC Not connecting? - DJ_Shocker - 20.04.2014

I've also ran crashdetect, no errors

Re: NPC Not connecting? - DJ_Shocker - 21.04.2014

Ok I tried different versions of SA-MP Server 0.3z for windows.
My NPC will NOT connect with 0.3zR2. It doesn't even attempt to.

Works on other 0.3z server versions.
If anyone has experienced this, please let me know. I've searched the forums and haven't seen anyone else with this issue. It's just a normal NPC that stands at the LSPD gate. Doesn't use FCNPC, nothing.
