Problem - GRRR Kiss loot all screwed and mobs pulling crazytime

[Razkle]

I am seriously about to lose my shit! Last night I lost out on a fabled, oh I killed it, but again loot.ini had the item marked as keep and it never looted it, I know because it looted the other non fabled items. It seems to happen to any no trade items marked =keep AND in multiple zones now my tank keeps pulling shit that is clearly on the do not pull list! and ignoring burns on named in the list.

I think I need to copy off my .mac files and start with a fresh install of KA and company?

Just start by backing up then new file on your looter.

 

[Razkle]

it is doing it on no less then 7 accounts, here is what I have done so far...
backed up all files.
deleted the entire mq2 directory
downloaded a fresh RGupdate and Kiss8
ran them and created the base files, started eq and ran kiss, exited and set the toon to loot.... reran kiss to start a loot.ini
carefully copied ONLY my /mac toon files and the contents of the loot.ini and kissassist.info over to the new files.....
carefully copied all my server_toonname to the mq2 directory as well but I am leary of that....

testing it now.... its CRAZY!

 

[Maskoi]

how is doing it on 7 accounts? how many people do you have looting? if you copied all the same files its probably going to do the same thing.

Im having some weird things happen with KISS this morning also. Not having the loot ini issue yet
but I am having similar pull issues.

-having issues this morning with my tank ignoring mobs on my kissinfo ini that are marked as ignore.
-occasionally tank is pulling when in tank mode...
- always setting camphere to on if he is in pullertank mode even if I have it turned off in my ini (tank does not turn camphere on if I run him in /mac kissassist tank mode)

oh yeah
-and mage pet is just standing there with its finger up its nose. Not attacking at all.

I run 12 computers at any given time and they all share the same dataset (copied to ssd drives locally) Most days I run a group of 6 a group of 3 and a group of 1-3 to play on... its an addiction

1 What? did you mean Not ignoring
2 Impossible. He will attack anything in his radius if it aggros but it is impossible for tank role to pull
3 umm puller tank is perma camphere thats the role pull bring back to camp tank.

I find that when I put things in the list, the tank pulls them anyway, about to test it with the new setup...
a prime example was my tank pulled everything on the ignore list:

[The Iceclad Ocean]
MobsToPull=The Fabled Stormfeather,Fabled,Stormfeather
MobsToIgnore=a snow cougar,a howling dervish,Bilf,Blik,Feld
MobsToBurn=List up to 10 mobs. Use full names i.e. Beget Cube,Helias,Raze or NULL

ok after 20 minutes of testing, he is not pulling any of the IGNORES but he will defend if they attack, now lets see if I can get it to loot no drops.... I think I had a file fubar'ed somewhere and in my case a new fresh install was the best choice! Seems to run faster too and so far not 1 single crash.... hmmm

- - - Updated - - -

seems to be looting/keeping no drops as it should now too. I can only assume I had ini and or old plugin issues that caused this, either way, its working as intended now! woot!

Yes, not ignoring mobs on his ignore list. If a reinstall worked for Razkle Ill try that in a bit.

2 Impossible. He will attack anything in his radius if it aggros but it is impossible for tank role to pull

I am camping a namer I have camped a fair amount, through previous installs where I was able to park the tank right on the spawn location in tank mode and the PH and namer were the only mobs I agroed. Now my tank is pulling in mobs from the area. Not far but definitely outside of my camp radius.

3 umm puller tank is perma camphere thats the role pull bring back to camp tank.

Maybe Im crazy but I was able to start my toon before without campreturn on. I would just move my crew little bit at a time through some HAs as he pulled.

 

[Razkle]

When camping some epics I have set my return to as little as 5 (sol lava kills) when in doubt lock it down!

after quite some testing everything is running SO much smoother! I cannot stress enough that sometimes backing up your .macs and starting a fresh install after a major upgrade is a must, Kiss8 is awesome!

- - - Updated - - -

overnight testing on LONG Fabled yielded fantastic results, got the fabled item in my bag this morning, so this problem is officially fixed, please people if you have had issues with things like crashes, misspulls, no pulls, no loots, strange events, whatever, the equivalent of reboot and defrag for kiss is to back up all your player files (all your files actually) in a safe subdirectory and reinstall kiss from scratch with all the current goodies! Then just add only your .mac and server_playername files to the new install. I actually have not had a single crash in the last 2 days now after crashing 8-10 times a day on zoning or death or just named kills.....
