I have recently started seeing the error listed in the title of this post. Where "playername.xml" is appears the name of a player logged into the game world, I have not noticed any issue in the game. This player is not interacting with any npc or doing anything at the time the error occurs. The error displays as:

[Error - Npc::Loadfromxml] failed to load data/npc/playername.xml file was not found
[Error - Npc::Loadfromxml] failed to load data/npc/.xml file was not found

Any suggestions?

I can't say for certain but I'm pretty sure no. The server was originally set up a year ago on an AWS box. I recompiled on windows last month.

If you write /s Colandus and /s without any parameters it will do as you described. Probably some GM in your server was using the command.

I tried executing /s without a name and it returns:
[Error - Npc::Loadfromxml] failed to load data/npc/.xml file was not found

The issue I was seeing before was looking for a playersname.xml where playersname is the name of a player that is currently logged into the game world. I see no reason it should be looking for that player. I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have typed /s playername since I have never used /s.

Not sure if this is relevant but I have encountered two other errors as well. Both SQL related. The first is where it queries ip_bans for some random ip number and then says it lost connection during the query. I see the same error maybe once or twice per day. It is always looking for something in ip_bans with a random ip number. The other one I see is a SQL update to server_config where config = motd_num.

Does any of that make any sense? All kinds of issues apparently and I have no clue what the solution is to them.
