Thanks mate for reply - I thought I was the only one with that problem.
TBH, I was looking for some neater solution or at least some point what is wrong, scripts or pol.
You can just block every enetered area from all npcs, except players and tamed ones, but still would be nice to know whats the ...

Are you using any known AI system?

Custom AI, originated from distro 94.
If you say no one had such problem with pol 99 yet, I will investigate my scripts deeper.

Hi everyone, I have a problem with spaming of ENTEREDAREA event.

After analyzing I came up with this:
Npc1 standing in areaX
Npc2 created in areaX using CreateNPC with real x,y,z,realm specified.

Npc1 whenever he moves, he gets ENTEREDAREA event from Npc2.

Imagine:
Npc1 wanders
Npc1 gets ...

Turley, is there any instruction how to compile pol ? Its obvious, you need special environment for it, and since you dont publish any builds anymore, you need to compile it yourself.
How can I do it without spending 2 days searching web for solutions?
Thanks in adv.

Peeps, seriously, from where did you get md5_ctx struct ? I cant find any special entry about such implementation of md5 algorithm. Ive found only something in gnulib.
What do you need to have on gentoo for example to get this working? On other way, if you have to manually download some md5 ...

Hi again,

You have to add to
clib/MD5.h


# include <stdint.h>
typedef uint32_t md5_uint32;

struct md5_ctx
{
md5_uint32 A;
md5_uint32 B;
md5_uint32 C;
md5_uint32 D;

md5_uint32 total[2];
md5_uint32 buflen;
char buffer[128] __attribute__ ((__aligned__ (__alignof__ (md5_uint32 ...

Unfortunatelly its not that simple to just remove all compile warnings.
There are bigger problems than warnings, like removal of PTHREAD_THREAD_MAX constant or some change in md5 lib, where struct md5_ctx vanished.
Unfortunatelly you cant compile it under new gcc and libs.
Anyways, thanks for answer ...

Hi there,

I want to ask you about POL compilation process.
Ive done checkout from pol repository (https://polserver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/polserver/trunk)
Im trying to compile it under gentoo with gcc 4.4.4, up to date glibc and everything else.
Why do I get such common errors like deprecated ...

Ive began to investigate newer clients network changes, and it seems Ive got them all, just wanna to share, maybe someone will use it, or devs will have lil work with this info.

I had to change 6 packets to make it work.

Hi everyone.

Today Ive updated my POL to 07-25 and noticed the same lil buggy.
As far as I noticed, POL simply doesnt send worn update for player and players around him, when item is equipped from different realm.
Bigger problem causes mounting (if your script is equiping it from brit), because ...

There is a little problem with item decay time. Item decayat do not reset when item is set to movable. (Fortunatelly, I can do it myself, because I can change .decayat member... but it would be probably better if core do that)

Problem occurs when for example: Item objtype has DecayOnMultis 1 in ...

Got the same SIGSEGV on fedora. If devs need more info, let me know.

Assertion Failed: pthread_create( &th, &http_attr, http_conn_thread_stub, reinterpret_cast<void*>(client_socket) ) == 0, pol/polwww.cpp, line 1019

Unfortunatelly, this assert is still poping up.
Dunno, any idea why pol cant create thread for http request?
It happens usually after 1 day uptime or ...

IMHO, this can be the same error which I encountered lately.
Check your hardware, especially RAM. Are all slots the same mark?

Calls to core functions seems to crash your pol, my problem was the same.

Can I ask what are the circumstances of that error? or is it random error?

Hm.. dunno what to think now, but its possible that I found what caused those strange crashes. It was some hardware glitch. We've changed configuration of ram, we use 4 slots, 2 kings and 2 others.
Configuration was changed from king king other other to king other king other, and then crashes ...

Did you upgrade your core lately?
Did you make sure you replace your .em files with the new ones from the core?
Did you recompile your scripts after applying the new .em files?

I know, that those are a common mistakes, but...

Sure I've done it, U can see which release I'm using in backtraces ...

I've experienced a series of strange crashes lately.
Sigsegv printed some random scripts and PCs every time, and I cant make a sense of it.

Hi, I've discovered a little problem with MoveObjectToLocation

When I try to move item from ilshenar, location 1212, 1122, -25, 2 to 6000, 1200, 0, 0 I've got:
error{ errortext = "Location (6000,1200,0) is out of bounds" }
like MoveObjectToLocation is comparing bound of ilshenar to location in ...

Hi,

I'm using pol97-07-28 on live shard and its working fine. No crashes.
In a short time I'm planning to use newest core.

Continue good work!

Hehe.. dunno, but it worked on previous pol96 which I was using (2005-12-08).

Anyway, thanks, and I'm still waiting on new release.
No more bugs found by me for now

Will work on a fix soon.

Its nice to hear it. I'm waiting then on new release.

Hi,

When Im trying to perform:
print(Mob);
print("setcrim " + Mob.SetCriminal(1));

I receive:
<appobj:MobileRef>
setcrim error{ errortext = "Method 'setcriminal' not found" }

However SetMurderer is working fine.

Something is wrong here, wont You guys agree?

Hi again,

Can we expect this problem fixed in near future? or it will wait some time until next release? The reason I'm asking is because people cant use guilds now, and I dont know if I should wait a little time, or go back to older version for now.

If devs need some more info on the subject, let ...

Sure thing, otherwise I wouldnt be able to ran script.
