Problem - MQ2autoloot / instant crash to desktop on TEST - 5+ items in loot queue

[LorDeth]

Hi guys,

I'm getting an instant crash to desktop when i have mq2autoloot running and one mob drops 5 items at once (i get this occasionally in RoS zones off named) or get up to 5 items (or more) in the advloot window without chance to clear them -- catch is, mq2advloot just stops looting once it hits that 5 item count.. no crashes UNTIL i try to manually deal with one of the items with the EQ advloot window..

As soon as i do that, BOOM, that eq client is gone... no errors, no windows, nothing..

Now, if i do an /autoloot turn off on that toon first, then proceed to manually handle that backlog, its good.. in fact, if i bring the count back down to 4 or less, and /autoloot turn on, it takes care of it as usual, no issues..

I'm not sure what its choking on other than that 5 number.. it seems to be no matter if its a lore or just common TS mat or collectibles..

I'm playing on the test server and seeing this, and it was happening on dec-05, and dec-06 VV test compiles.. I havent installed the dec-07 one, but i would suspect same issue, since no patch notes relating to advloot changes..

Cheers,
Lordeth

I'll attempt to reproduce it when i get home. In case i can't reproduce it, can you get me a crash report?

sure I can do that..

one thing i just noticed.. using kiss 11, its got ninjadvloot.inc and tries to manage loot itself.. would the two of them conflict with each other? I was just going to try commenting it out to see if it made a diff..

If not, I'll turn on debug and logging and see whats going on, will send you the log.. (and do a crash report)

I had tested running both approximately a year ago and didn't have any issues then.

ok this is weird..

again, running mq2 vv-test from yesterday, and using kiss 11.010 Beta, im getting some mq2 spam: and this only starts as soon as i have 5 items in my advloot window.. 1-4 never errors or sticks.. 5+ boom stops.. and if i try to manually touch the advloot window items with 5+ and /autoloot turn on , insta crash..


nothing modified in the kiss11.mac by me at all..

Im not sure where to start.. i may try re-downloading the compile and clean ini's.. because this is being weird and I'm not exactly sure why it started..

I can't reproduce the bug on a live server. Whatever is causing you to stop looting the items must be the issue. I can AE down 20+ npc in a single shot and it works like a champ. I can force someone to have more then 5 items in the loot window and start sending them to people and it keeps running. I need a debug report to make any sense of your issue.

Does mq2autoloot make sure loot is not in progress before it moves on to the next item?

This is on test though, so maybe something different between live and test compiles that changed? I'll get you a debug..

Edit Sunday morning: Ok, so I cant get it to crash anymore.. but it still likes to stop auto-managing loot once i hit 5 items in my advloot window queue.. Now, when fighting multiple mobs, it normally keeps up fine as i kill them.. but it seems that with named in RoS (which is where I am at right now), they quite often drop 5+ items all at once.. a vis, non-vis, a rk2, and usually a TS or two, plus a collectible..

I wonder if its this specifically that is causing this.. since in previous xpacs, it is extremely rare to see one mob drop that many items all at once (save for raid mobs).. but i can also say I've never seen this happen before this past week, and i've used advloot on both live and test in the past..

Yes, it skips doing actions during pulses where looting is in progress. The screen shot is due to ninjadvloot not checking would be my guess.

I wasn't able to find an npc that dropped 5 items at a time, I just killed alot at the same time with an AE spell in a lower level zone.

yeah thats the thing.. RoS named seem to be the first lot that actually do that in the group game.. with the new TS mats for the crestra earring, plus regular TS mats, and all that other stuff, its a sudden influx of items all at once if say fighting a name plus an add.. at least its not crashing for me now - i can manually dole out the loot til it hits 4 items in the queue and then autoloot takes over.. but still sorta weird..

I've played here in RoS killing these same mobs in the past though, and never had this happen.. so at this point i am not exactly sure whats up..
