MFBoard

For everyone having this issue: It is most likely because of a broken pet data configuration we are using to calculate pet fights. This file is located under "AppData/Roaming/mfbot.de/" (%Appdata%/mfbot.de) and is called PetXml.xml

If it is there and shows a size of 0KB, try to delete it and restart the bot. It should download a new one. If this doesn't help, please let us know! (this is important). Then you can use the attached one in this post and simply replace yours. This way worked for csumega.

We will have a look to handle download errors better in the future so this won't happen anymore.

The PetXml.xml file did have a size of 0 kb. I did what you recommended: delete the file and restart mfbot.
Everything is working again, many thanks to you for your help.

Yes, the problem has been resolved, thanks to Baaam's assistance. Follow the guide he posted to fix it.

This issue will be solved in the next version. The bot will

- use a fallback configuration bundled into the bot when the file can't be downloaded or it's empty
- delete empty configuration files in some situations and also use the fallback configuration

Just for clarification: The fallback configuration is mostly the same like the one on our server. Only when there are new dungeons for example it is possible that the server already has a new configuration file so we don't need to publish a whole bot update (which is very time consuming) to add a dungeon.
