On it.

Ended the battle and let them win. I don't know when this bug started happening, but I must have changed something that's set it off.

Did you check the code that for when a player dosnt show up The NPC wont attack them ? Isnt it supposed to time and if they don't move in a certain time frame keep them from moving and the NPC from attacking them ?

I think you are right but it looks like the code is mistaking the pc's for the nps's, if I understood the below bit I highlighted correctly, that is.

I need more info to know where the code went wrong. It was assuming the Lionelli were the players, and the Things were the NPCs, for some reason. Did you move at all at the start of the battle? It says you all only missed 1 single turn, which indicates that you let the first turn pass by? I wonder if that caused the bug.

Anyway, there's another fight scheduled soon. We'll see if it does the same.

Yes that is what it did see the timer that starts the battle is off ... so they are not starting exactly at the hour so people are having to refresh over and over about 5 mins until the hour to see exactly when it pulls us in .

So I'm betting both of those things are causing the problems

I'll need a bit more info on this. Somebody didn't show up? Did it allow you guys to move as normal until the point where one person was supposed to auto flee due to not showing up?

No everyone was there ... the battles don't start on time it starts Probably 5 minutes early or more I haven't timed it exactly ... We never know when it will pull us in So for about a 5 minute window we refresh our screens to see if it has pulled us into the battle.

As soon as we were in the battle we were not able to move. It kept saying it was the Disciples of Crows turn. The timer would run for the 2 minutes then it would sometimes give a server error 500 ... then go right back to the NPCs turn count 2 minutes then give the Error again or just say it wasn't our turn .

Some people were experiencing the Error screen every turn before the end of the battle .

Things defeated The Parliament in a battle for Hunting Grounds. Things retain control of their territory.




I don't know if this had anything to do with it But Things Vs Parliament was the first PVP territorial battle that there has been since you changed that code ... So it might have triggered the bug. I'm no coder but seemed like a plausible theory when we were talking about it .

This is still happening. Currently stuck in a territory battle against Helheim complete with unable to move, internal server errors and a countdown that never seems to end.

I poked David on facebook, I wish I could do more.
