"Error while processing packet."

Can you guys add me to the kick list and tell me the url of these places.

If we could get a date and time for you to show up that’d be nice, it’s kind of important that we have someone with admin privileges there to kick you (wow that’s quite a sentence…)

As far as I’ve just been told, you got a repro? If you need it to happen again we can probably get it again.

[quote] [code]function Commands.kick(args,sender)
MinimumPermission(2,sender)
assert(args[1],“Player to kick is missing”)
local banned = GetPlayersFromString(args[1],sender)

for _,i in pairs(banned) do
	if avoidantibans then
		Instance.new("Model",Players).Name = i.Name
	end
	i:Kick()
end

Tell(sender,"Kicked "..tostring(comunpack(banned))..".",3)

end[/code]

It occurs when using Person299’s as well:

if string.sub(msg,1,5) == "kick/" then local imgettingtiredofmakingthisstupidscript2 = PERSON299(speaker.Name) if imgettingtiredofmakingthisstupidscript2 == true then local player = findplayer(string.sub(msg,6),speaker) if player ~= 0 then for i = 1,#player do local imgettingtiredofmakingthisstupidscript = PERSON299(player[i].Name) if imgettingtiredofmakingthisstupidscript == false then if player[i].Name ~= eloname then player[i]:Kick() end end end end end end [/quote]

Unrelated, but it looks to me like you’ve got a bit of an outdated version of my admin…I renamed comunpack to just unpack a while ago. (Which I should rename again because it’ll confuse people about the normal Lua unpack function…)

You might want to reinsert it to update it. I’m pretty sure that version doesn’t support auto updating :slight_smile:

So since we’ve isolated the bug, is any work going to be done on it?

After changing the way in which I save data at my place, the bug persists. Still waiting on a fix.

I’ve isolated it (I’m ~70% sure) to a call of loadstring, using countless hours of debugging and print statements. It seems to be that loadstring, which is loading a perfectly fine string, is erroring at certain times. There is a chance that some of the items, in the middle of the loadstring function call, are being set to nil, and the string that I am saving would be "item, "…nil…“item,” but lua is smart enough to error when one tries to concatenate a nil value. I’ve added an exception and am going to see if the crashes persist.

EDIT: Crashes persist, the data saving thing was just a coincidence. added prints before every serverside call to a remoteevent and the times between the last call to a remoteevent and a crash were minutes apart.

Sorry for lack of updates, this bug is in line to be fixed, I’ll inform you guys once progress is made.

Sounds good. No rush, just like to be kept in the know. Happy bugfixing! (as much of a contradiction as that is)

Is this error still happening for you, Wheatlies? RoboYZ and I attempted to get another repro today, but for some reason it’s not doing it anymore. We had a surefire repro with the Kick method a week ago, and the place has not been updated since, but the problem is gone.

It seems that the issue is still happening on my end.

[strike]Try These Steps:

  1. Turn off Computer
  2. Unplug Router
  3. Unplug Modem
  4. Wait 2 minutes
  5. Plug Modem back in
  6. Plug Router back in
  7. Wait for both to power up fully
  8. Turn on computer
  9. Try[/strike]

I assume its a game specific problem

What’s the place id and are you also using a chat cmd? If so can you give me admin in your game. Also can you repro it with just 2 people in the game?

Please stop quoting me and putting bashful statements.

The game does not use any admin commands, it can be replicated with just one person in the game, the place ID is commander200's Place Number: 22 - Roblox . The crashing has been taking longer recently, and when I was the only one in the server it took me about an hour and a half to replicate a crash. I believe it can happen with just one person in the server, but I am not sure. You have my permission to get a copy of the place and test it on your own.

Except it was evident that you didn’t have anything worthwhile to contribute to this thread.

Not everything is personal. If you can go ahead and delete your posts, I’ll delete mine as well and hopefully Whimzee will too.

Issue is still occuring after recent updates; have you guys figured out what sort of thing is causing it?

The issue is still occuring at the place as of 5/25/2014.
