after a while ..... I started the server and players came logging .. .... server crashes when decomposing function works ....
and it doesnt have to do anything to -3002001 to -3002005 values ...
then we can say that the problem isn't connected to specific id's ... its a general issue in dropgroupresource ....
my question now is how can we edited the dropgroupresouce safely ...
thank you in advance ..

Some resources will cause issues if they are not tied to specific items, You may find it easier and less stressful on the server rather than removing items tied to a drop group if you just change the percentage to drop to 0.

I just simply do not know what to look for or what to replace to fix these errors.
I am totally willing to dig in there and do the work....but I am spinning my wheels without the know-how. So....is there anyone willing to teach this old dog a new trick?
If anyone has time...may I humbly request a tutorial on fixing these errors....thank you for your time and all your efforts.

Are you sure you have not mixed the 7.4 resources in with the 8.1 client.
With the 8.1 AL7roB server files and an updated 8.1 client with a modified 8.1 sframe I had 0 NPC issues aside from the following...
1. There is an auction broker missing in action in the scarecrow fields, you can only see her if you launch the client under a certain locale. (This happens in the 7.4 files also.) She was easy to relocate and changing her local_flag to 0 makes her visible to any locale.
2. The NPCs for cash shop items for the KTS do not really appear or function properly unless you launch the game with the KTS locale argument. You can easily hide these non functional NPCs by setting their local_flag value to -1 this will hide them in the world and on the mini map. A cash shop NPC is easy enough to make anyway and yes there are guides out there for it and they are linked in the tools and guides threads. They may have empty string names because they are not commonly translated in the US db_string(ascii).rdb
I did not have any trouble at all with the 8.1 daily quest NPS being invisible, they worked just fine however you should be able to make them show just by setting the Local_flag value to 0 I am not sure why you should have to do that unless the dailies are only available on some versions and your sframe client version mismatch is creating some issues.
After making these changes you may need to dump the database dbo.NPCResource and turn it into a db_npcresource(ascii).rdb and hash the name to put into the client resource folder in order to update the client so that it matches the server tables. Without doing that you may not see any of the server side changes.
This may be of some help...
