EO3 server crash after leader leaves party

[Justin Knight]

After the leader of a party leaves the new leader kills something and the server crashes. Is this only for me?

eo 3 is old version best thing to do is get vb6 and find what line the error happens on

[Justin Knight]

Okay, just thought I'd find out if someone else had a solution for this. I'm still new to vb6\. My friend had a good idea though, until i can fix the issue I think I'll just disband the party when the leader leaves.

How is that a good idea, leaving a bug in your game that could be fixed and having to do stuff manually. If you have vb6 run your client in vb and have server live sign in start party tell us what line it highlights on error? then tell us here and will see if we can help without info not much we can do.

Okay well, I ran the server in vb6 and made a party. The party can earn EXP all day but when one person leaves and the party gets smaller the new party crashes the server on the next kill. the error happens here:

Server side

```
Function GetPlayerExp(ByVal index As Long) As Long
> GetPlayerExp = Player(index).exp
End Function

```

its trying to pull an index that is outs of bounds, if you hover over the word index it would probably say 0.

just means that when the leader leaves its not kicking people properly and unloading everything, its trying to continue the party and boom error.

OMG found the fix… maybe. We'll see but for now it looks like its working :)

Edit the server in Public Sub Party_ShareExp

Find

```
' find out the equal share
expShare = exp \ (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount)
leftOver = exp Mod (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount)

```
Replace with

```
' recount the freaking party members
Party_CountMembers partyNum

' find out the equal share
expShare = exp \ (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount)
leftOver = exp Mod (Party(partyNum).MemberCount - LoseMemberCount)

```

Thanks :) I'm sure my fix isnt the best way to handle this issue but I'll see what happens
