NPC Server Question
 

when i say /stats in RC it lists something :

Top ten of npcs taken most CPU time:

What does npcs that take the most CPU time mean?

it means what NPCs are taking the LONGEST ammount of time to execute

if this is true is there a such thing as ghost npcs?
the level doesnt exist anymore but the npcs are still in the level and are in the list of the top 10

try updating the level and wait for the nc list to update, usually the NPCs do not update right away if you just delete/(re)upload a level

my co manager and I have already tried updating the level with it there and with it not there, the npc still remains.
When I remove a level or every level off Level List, it comes right back. Is this a error, or is this normal?

stefan made it so you cant remove levels from the npc level list unless the npc server is offline, so basically it means only people with direct access into the database can edit it
and how many seconds does it take for the top npc? most servers that dont have too much lag has there top npc around .06-.3 (maybe a little bit higher)

1. 2.230493 secs
2. 2.093126 secs
3. 1.484498 secs
4. 1.329864 secs
5. 1.058501 secs
6. 0.765579 secs
7. 0.328151 secs
8. 0.272026 secs
9. 0.257736 secs
10. 0.148282 secs

The Top 6 are the ones that are the ghost npcs.

I have tried that, the npcs are still there -.-

I believe /clearnpcs is only for removing npcs done by putnpc2


and try searching for the level on the local npc search, see if the NPCs actually exist or if the list is just taking too long to update

I am getting Variables dump from level. Also the attrubutes of the npcs.

next npc server restart SHOULD restart the list and clear the 'ghost' npcs

Do you any way to contact Stefan or Unixmad?

hmm, kaimetsu's way should work, upload a blank level with the same name, go to the level, update it, then delete the level

Thank you so much, this worked :D
