[B42/B41] Bandits NPC (v2)
Bandits not spawning in multiplayer
I tried out the mod and it works fine in singleplayer but when I put it on my multiplayer server It didn't work. I then made a test server with only three mode. the bandits, the extra options, and the mod options but I still couldn't get them to spawn. Does the mod not work for multiplayer, and if so do you know of any other alternative mods?

To clarify, I'm on B41
Yes, I'm having a similar issue I suppose- I installed the mod on a multiplayer server that a friend and I play on and everything worked perfectly- keep in mind this was probably closer to February.

I tried playing recently a few days ago, and while the tooltip (friendly wanderers, for example) appears at the top, when I navigate towards it, it's always just zombies, no more NPC's. This seems to be consistent at this point, anyone have any ideas?
Try don't use Bandits Extra Options. I never had zombies spawn instead of real bandit after that.

Same here, multiplayer, existing save, B41. Also no Bandit options in the Sandbox Options.

dont use the extra options because if messes with how the time is counted and it will be bugged in multiplayer

also try this: as admin use the option remove all bandits from the context menu.

Oh, so perhaps this is the problem. In my multiplayer server bandits AI is simply broken, they spawn, actually (as you can see the icon at the top of the screen), however when i get to them they're just freezed. I thought it could be "No Mo Culling (Formerly known as Zombie Fix)" mod (mod id: 3115293671), but it just removes the zombie culling. And when i tried with the regular game files, bandits still behave weird. So i'm guessing it's a multiplayer problem.
Read the description and it says that you can re-enable the mod, but doesn't say how. I have the mod options mod as well on my dedicated server, yet bandits seem to be completely disabled. No bandit spawns and no sandbox options or mod options as of the update earlier today.Has anyone figured this out yet? Maybe mod author is still working on the issue?

I am having the same issue, bandits no longer spawn, and I cannot spawn them in manually. The mod appears in my servers mod list followed by [Not Found] even though I have it enabled in my mods tab. I am on b41

Im glad I wasn't the only one who was experiencing problems! The mod description since the new update wasn't very helpful in all honesty. What I ended up doing was first having mod options since it says required, and second, removing the Bandits2 mod completely (including the workshop #id) save, reload server, quit server, and then add the Bandits2 mod again PLUS BanditsCreator mod, save and reload server. This at least allowed me to spawn in bandits manually again and reduce group size and spawn chances. HOWEVER, i'm still not seeing bandits spawn in automatically now, which is kind of a shame. I even had my character sleep to fast forward time but nothing.

Guys, if anyone can solve this problem, please reply here!
Same problem here, build 42. I have the prints of the errors. The error is in the BanditServerSpawner.lua file, line 662. It is something related to RoadBlockSpawn .. Slayer, I have the prints and I can send them to you via steam message
It works great in solo play, but it doesn't work in MP. Who knows how to solve the issue?

Yes. Through the "Mod Manager" it shows that the mod is working, I specifically set the chance of bandits appearing at 100%, but when creating the world and the server, the icons do not appear on top. And I set the bandits to appear on the same day as soon as I created the server. Everything is fine in single player mode, but there is silence and no icons on your server. I also checked with my girlfriend, it doesn't work for her either. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I believe we will wait for Slayer to check, I sent him some prints that I collected in --debug running only the mod in build 42.
