the next update should have the crash fix. at least it hasn't crashed anyone on me since i made the change last week.
 
Did I read somewhere that RGMercs calls a version of LootnScoot from it's own directory?

rgmercs starts lootnscoot for you from its own location outside of rgmercs with command /lua run lootnscoot directed rgmercs
When you toggle DoLoot to on, it first stops lootnscoot if its already running, then starts it with the above command.

from the screenshots you're pasting they aren't really telling anything useful except that in most cases lootnscoot is exiting normally (status 0).

are you trying to run lootnscoot yourself at all or just leaving it to rgmercs to manage it?

It's defiantly running much better before the last patch the program would crash within looting 10 mobs now I can pull and entire zone and only crash once or twice when looting.
 
MQ is crashing every time any character tries to loot a particular corpse with LNS running.
I have never seen this issue before I updated this evening, and it does not occur without LNS running.

If I pause LNS, the crash does not occur. If I do not, it is occuring 100%.

Edit:
I had that item already in my inventory, and it is Lore/NT.
I deleted the item from my inventory, and looted the new copy with LNS paused, unpaused, and it worked well after that.

However, *only* my driver had that item, and he was the only person eligible to loot it (it is set to Can Use)... yet, any character doing the looting was crashing (I did it like 7 times, 100% repeatable). I don't see anything odd about the item, but giving as much info as I can in case it helps.

SetOverlayEnabled seems like a pretty odd spot for a crash, that method just sets a bool? But maybe that means its crashing somewhere in imgui that it is trying to draw when you go to loot that item?
 
Only with LNS running and not paused, right after LNS added a new feature in imGUI?

Thinking Think GIF


I can't be sure its from this update, it was some weeks ago when I first had that item and set the rule. If I come across it again (I'm farming that boss), I'll revert versions and check.

Having some problems with LootNScoot

1. LootNScoot crashes after pulling 3 or 4 mobs even on characters that do not have looting enabled.
2. I have an item configured for quest|1 , but when my first toon looed he got all 4. Did I misunderstand the |1 after quest?

have any output from it crashing? for quest there should be output in the LNS console about the decisions its making.
Click to expand...
I think this is the output you are looking for the item marked a quest|1 but got looted 4 times

Looks like that's happening because multiple of the same item on 1 corpse. It evaluates the rule and makes decision to keep because 0 < 1 initially. Then it keeps looting multiple of the item from the corpse based on that initial decision. It does check the updated count you have on each item looted, but appears to only be for logging purposes at that point.
 
Just happened again, this time with a different boss, different item. Same symptoms, 100% reproduce rate.
I reverted #61 (the last update) locally and was able to loot the corpse without issue.

Edit: It occurs to me the first item today when I was crashing was also a weapon augment with a skill mod.

I just came back to Project Lazarus after a year and getting reacclimated to RGMercs + new LootNScoot. I'm experiencing an odd condition where LootNScoot will... just stop/exit at seemingly random times on all of my characters. I only notice it's not running because one of the loot macros on a character will produce a command error. Otherwise I don't get any other MQ messages or obvious indicators about the Lua crashing or stopping. Once I restart it on the characters (using the directed rgmercs command) it will resume normally for another period of time before stopping. Any ideas on what might be happening?

See above posts from drawthow which are all about that, he made some workaround here https://www.redguides.com/community/posts/656614/ but if you have some kind of info on how to reproduce this i'd try to look into it, like what is happening when it happens to exit?

Thanks I missed this other thread. I can't really say how or why it happens, but as drawthow points out it seems to exit cleanly. For now I've also added the restart command to the lootnscoot.Lua file in rgmercs\modules. If there was a way to monitor the MQ chat window with MQ2Events, I could probably run the Lua restart based on the "LNS not running!" log message but I don't think that's possible.

Are there any
After this update I have been able to run for just a little over an hr. without crashing. Before this update characters would only run for between 3 and 20 loots before crashing.
Click to expand...
the only change here was to add a line when the script exits to say why it's exiting. do you see that print?
 
I just did get a crash rom deleting the Iron ration and the water flask from the buy table. Happened on multiple people.

aquietone updated lootnscoot (for emu) with a new update entry:

12/11/2025

〰️Commits​


PR # [63](https://github.com/aquietone/lootnscoot/pull/63): split up init.lua into ui, db, actor, settings
- Maybe fixed CTD errors. Ran under debug build and fixed a bunch of random imgui errors popping up.
- Maybe fixed script randomly exiting. Seemed to occur mostly when both a modify and add rule actor message are sent when setting a rule from new item table.
- Fixed removing entries in restock list.
- Refactored a bunch so probably broke everything...

May or may not be improved not really sure.

The update mentioned above hasn't released yet. That message you keep showing is also printed by rgmercs, not LNS, and offers no useful info about what might be up with LNS.

Sorry I posted it because that was the first time I had seen an error number. Thought it may be helpful.
 
Under the Normal Items every time I click the Table drop down LNS crashes with this error Screenshot 2025-12-18 155800.png
 
After the last update, I've noticed when I goto group Sell stuff it fails. In the MQ window I see it states cannot parse. And I see the error is a missing A. It has /dgg /multi-line /tar.... etc etc. So I made a quick key /dgga /tar etc etc.... and that works fine. Just thought I'd let someone know.

dgg is the same as dgga. are you sure it wasn't some other part of the command failing to parse? a screenshot of the command / error would help
