Bug - Bard Stalling

[eqgeek]

I know this has been mentioned a few times, but I had some major issues with my bard this weekend and I hope we can figure out what's wrong. When running afk for a few hours, I will come back and see that the bard is standing around singing, but doing nothing else. My bard is the looter, so there will be a pile of corpses. Apparently the error is happening when using clickie buffs. Here is an example from my log file:

At time [2014/07/19 11:13:30] my bard stopped working.

At time [2014/07/19 13:26:37] I came along and realized what was happening. I manually clicked the belt -- [MQ2] Clicking > Frayed Elddar Skin Sash <

When I do that, it always spams the AA message, [2014/07/19 13:26:42] [MQ2] P**** gained an AA, now has 16 unspent, but doesn't always get back to work.

I manually hit attack: [2014/07/19 13:27:04] MQ2Melee::Attacking [a junk golem]. And Then I have to click another buff [2014/07/19 13:27:06] [MQ2] Clicking > Primal Force Ring < and THEN KA takes over again:

[2014/07/19 13:27:12] [MQ2] ATTACKING -> a junk golem <-

[2014/07/19 13:27:12] MQ2Melee::Attacking [a junk golem].

At time [2014/07/19 13:27:32] the mob is dead and the bard loots all the stuff that has been laying around, buffs some more with clicky items, and continues for a while before doing the same thing again:

It's not a huge issue in MOST cases because the bard is still singing, but when I was gone for a few hours it stalled again and the tank pulled the named with an add. The bard is CC so we all wiped (paper SK) and for some reason we didn't rez and just lost all the corpses.

I know some others are having issues like this. I don't know how to fix it, but I'll happily help debug if I can.

I have similar issues, but I first found it when I came to clickie items. If my clickies aren't in the first slot in a bag then they will not be clicked. eqmule posted something about needing to use /useitem instead of /casting from my post here.

I haven't been online much the last few days (son's baseball tournament and now I am having to do alot of field work the next few weeks. I know that when I tried to run williams12 Into the Hills (SK version) I noticed my bard would slow down but when I put that window into focus the bard would work fine for the most part.

I just haven't had time to pull up my /mlog's to see specifics. I will probably get a chance to get home in several hours and run some additional testing to see if I can reproduce issues.

 

[eqgeek]

Thanks for that. I will look at changing that if I can. I will have time tomorrow. Baseball is over, soccer is ON! :-)

 

[Maskoi]

Have you hacked Kiss in any way? Adding code to do stuff that's been posted here on the forums?

Maskoi, I have not.

 

[eqgeek]

I have not either.

 

[Warlock88]

My bard is doing the same thing .. going for about an hour then stops working all together. I use the INI fro the heroic bard for kiss

 

[GPS_Soldier]

Okay I'm starting a session since I have a few hours at home, gonna /mlog it all and see if anything crops up.

 

[eqgeek]

I'm going to remove the buffs from mine and see if that changes things. All my buffs are clickies in the bag or gear he's wearing.

- - - Updated - - -

Ok I've removed my clikies from the buff section, and after about 2 hours, no stalling. I think I see the issue though... with casters, doing /useitem "primal force ring" is no big deal because it's not interrupting anything. However, if the bard is twisting and I type or manually click the same item, I'm spammed with "You have not recovered yet". If I first do /twist off then /useitem no spamming. I wonder if there is a hang up there? Maybe KA needs to make sure bards stop singing before buffing.

Also, I think this is only an issue for bards who are singing while not in combat. Maybe those with problems can confirm that?

- - - Updated - - -

I took out all my clickie buffs, including the breastplate clickie and my bard ran fine for about 15 hours. I added in the BP clickie , and it failed within an hour. The bard just stands around singing whatever song set was playing when you clicked the item.

 

[eqgeek]

Anyone had any luck on this? I just removed all clicky buffs from my bard to keep from having any issues. Looks like just need to add something like:

/twist off
/useitem "blah"
/twist on

 

[DeathFromAbove]

I've been having the same issue and have not found any type of resolution.

 

[eqgeek]

a quick solution is to make a downflag that does this for you. You can also set your bard to not sing when there is a mob in camp and I think that will work. I haven't tried it.
