[Bug] Summons are almost immediently dissappearing.

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • [X] I have searched the existing issues

Observed behaviour

Simply put, all summon spells, whether it be related to vanilla mobs (such as necromancy) or summons that invoke wraiths have said entities appear for a moment, before seemingly being removed by the server. I don't see any mention of it being done in the server logs, so I'm not sure what would cause it.

Expected behaviour

I summon the mobs for the time they are allowed to be summoned, rather than the vanish.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Ready up summon spell.
  2. Spell Summons, mob appears, may move.
  3. Mob then forcably is removed.

This crash report is unrelated to the issue; it seemed the easiest way to list the mods.

Are you in Peaceful mode?

I am not.

Looked a bit more into it; this does appear, as I reported, to be solely a server issue; I can load into a world with the same mods in singleplayer and they summon just fine. Perhaps somethings weird with the server properties? Can't think of what that'd be off the bat though.

Curious if you know, uh, from the mod list there, are there any ideas that stick out to you where a conflict could arise on a server with 'em? Do you have an idea of what code/function that could exist that would despawn entities after a short period from your mod? It's not just yours either, summons from the addons for Electroblobs also get despawned.

AW2 has a special logic which prevents certain mobs from spawning within some structures (most notably skeletons, zombies and variants of them). Perhaps you are trying to spawn summons within a structure's area?

Intereeeesting.

That could be it. Maybe. I'll look into it.

As far as I can tell, its universally everywhere, at least whenever I've done so. Again, no issues on my client, just on a server, but perhaps something with Ancient Warfares configuration serverside messed it up.

I'll dig around here tonight and see what I can find, if anything.

As far as I found, not much dealt with its configuration on Ancient Warfare itself regarding spawning.

The only two server-side mods I've got on are performance related, and the issue was present before they were installed.

Weird enough, its specifically summoning related to EB and any of its addons I use. Even if, say, NPC Wizard's cast Summon Zombie or anything of the such; same result. Found that out the other day. It's like it affects any summoned entity that has AI from EB stuff; Ancient Spellcrafts animate (weapons, item, etc.) present the same issue.

Lycanites, for example, seems to have no issue with its summoning anywhere. Maybe some weird config is in some mod somewhere, but I dunno what could be causing this incompatability off the top of my head. Wasn't Zombie Awareness (Saw some trouble in a few other issues with it) nor Wizardry Tales, doesn't seem to be Ancient Warfare.

Please test this with just EbWiz on your server, and if you have no issue with it, keep adding mods till it happens
