| Summary | 0005256: Bug on finding second settlement at lvl 16 | ||||
| Description | Myself and Dizzard had played and reached level 16 when a new settlement had appeared we entered and accessed the settlement screen and this caused lots of errors in the log. Also as in the screensht below even though we had reached level 16 the settlement management interface wasn't there. Error in AVWW multiplayer http://steamcommunity.com/id/hyfrydle/screenshot/594703803976533899 if you need more info let me know. | ||||

Thanks, I see what method the null exception occurred in, though I can't get line numbers from a public build log. I can get them if I reproduce it while running in the Unity editor, though: does this reproduce if you restart the server and enter the strategy screen again? If so, can you attach the world to this mantis record? Thanks! In the meantime I can apply some paranoia null-checks to prevent the errors, but even better is to find out what exactly is null that wasn't expected to be, as that could reveal the actual underlying problem so we can fix that. |

Hmm. Seems to look fine on my end... The only file updated (other than the world-files, of course) is output_log (not sure if it applies to server?), and I can't find anything funky in there. Appending it just in case though. |

Actually I do think I found it, for 0.546: * Fixed a bug where viewing the strategy-map or settlement-management screens on a settlement with no npcs at all would cause null exceptions. Of course, that leaves the question of why it would have had zero npcs. And if it didn't, then another bug must have been in play. So getting that world would help track that down. |

|
I can't reconnect for some reason and when I change the name in settings it keeps reverting back even though I click on save. |

@Toll: yea, the exceptions were happening in interface code. But the same method would be called on the server if the turn were ended when it computes food consumption. Of course, the bug we see here may be that while the settlement actually does have npcs (and thus the server has no trouble with that method) but the clients who connected before the revealing of that settlement have never actually been _told_ about those npcs and thus think the settlement is empty. |

Try reconnecting again, Hyfrydle. Just restarted the server. |
|
|
Just got back on the server and the settlement map is now fine and no errors encountered. New settlement has three npc's. |
|
|
@Hyfrydle: yea, that's the various disconnect bugs in 0.545; if you completely close AVWW, re-open it, change your username, and then try to reconnect it should let you in. In 0.546 none of that tomfoolery should be necessary. |

"Just got back on the server and the settlement map is now fine and no errors encountered." That makes a lot of sense, actually: the when you reconnect the server sends you a whole fresh copy of the world state (not the chunks, just the macrogame and world-map stuff), including all the npc's and all the settlements and which npcs the settlements have. Do you see npcs in that settlement now? |
|
|
Yes three running around now. |
|

Sounds like you were spot-on with your guess then, Keith! |
