Bot Core: Mervbot (latest version)

On VIP and sysOP.txt

For some reason my bot’s keep dying after 2-4 days, and right after they die this message shows up on logs:

Code: Show/Hide

Kick out delay exceeded: Halobot
Kick out delay exceeded: Halo2bot
Kick out delay exceeded: Hevent
Kick out delay exceeded: Guilty.Spark

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Someone recommended me to change the [Latency] settings so I did to these:

Code: Show/Hide

[Latency]
NegativeClientSlowPacketTime=0
SendRoutePercent=500
ClientSlowPacketSampleSize=100
ClientSlowPacketTime=40
S2CNoDataKickoutDelay=10000
KickOutDelay=1000000
NoFlagDelay=300
NoFlagPenalty=1000
SlowPacketKickoutPercent=200
ClientSlowPacketKickoutPercent=200
SlowPacketTime=50
SlowPacketSampleSize=300
MaxLatencyForWeapons=45
MaxLatencyForPrizes=80
MaxLatencyForKickOut=120
LatencyKickOutTime=2200
CutbackWatermark=2400

But the bot still died out, and they did not restart after they were kicked. I am not sure why this keeps on happening maybe a plugin? Or is this something else that is causing this error?

Correct me somebody if I'm wrong, but that means your bot didn't send any packets to the server for longer than the kickout delay

Why is that? Or like what is causing it?

If you have more than 1 spawn i think it will send packets slower than usual. Make your kickout delay in the latency settings double or triple what they are. Increase what is considered a slow packet. Basically just higher the numbers in [Latency] and you should be fine. I have that same problem in my zone. Especially when were hosting on Home PCs.

Hmm i'd make the kickout delay 15000 (15 seconds)

The number is too high...

The bots still kick out though, so I think it is some other problem?

Your bots are probably spinning (running inside an infinite loop doing nothing, like while(1);), which causes them to not do anything packet related at all.

Try looking over your code and adding debug statements. If possible, run the bot through a debugger to find where it breaks.

Well MGB there arn't really custom codes except for one, but where can I find a debugger for merv?

Your compiler has a debugger...

What compiler are you using? Also, make sure that you're specifying a correct debug executable file (not in Release mode, etc.).

I am using "MERVBot_debug", this was in my bot folder.

Anyone have any ideas? It just stops responding after a few days.

yea right, AG wont attach the source

There is no custom code besides the bountrabbit which has been edited (the name of it), other wise it is the stuff found at CatID site: cred-gamble,ranbot,bounty,flag,alias,lagbot,playerlog,monitor,rampage,awarp,flagmover,jp ,dodge,generalbot,doors.dll

Thats what we have spread out between 2 spawns.

Isn't there a limit to how many plugins a core can hold?

There was some discussion on this a while ago, there is no hard limit. It's all pretty much performance based, so if your bot still functions with a zillion plugins its ok.

I had the same problem what I did was made the SecurityKickOff=600 higher and the .dll plugins make two bots and put half of the plugins in the bot u have in the other bot it should work then.....By the way Agurus I still dont like you since you called me a nigger
