I'm using a instance which worked on another emulator, but when I run it on this one I'm getting the following error:
 
[Warning]: Unexpected type for argument 1. Expected string.
[Debug]: Data: number value=-1
[Debug]: Function: instance_npcname
[Debug]: Source (NPC): Entrance#man1 at man_lob (99,98)
[Error]: script:instance_npcname: invalid instance NPC (instance_id: -1, NPC nam
e: "-1".)
[Debug]: Source (NPC): Entrance#man1 at man_lob (99,98)
 
 
This is the script that's causing trouble. It's the warper, does anyone know where it went wrong?;
 
Code: 
man_lob,99,98,0    script    Entrance#man1    2_M_THIEFMASTER,{
    set .@pname$,strcharinfo(0);
    set .@guid,getcharid(2);
    dispbottom "Name: " + instance_npcname(has_instance2("1@manp"));
    if ((has_instance2("1@manp") >= 0) && (has_instance2("1@manp") != "0")) {
        set .@party_id,getcharid(1);
        if (.@party_id == 0) {
            dispbottom "Error! Player is currently not in a party!";
            end;
        }
        getpartymember(.@party_id);
        set .@partymembercount,$@partymembercount;
        if (compare("BB solo",instance_npcname(has_instance2("1@manp")))) {
            if ((getcharid(0) != getpartyleader(.@party_id,2)) || (.@partymembercount != 1)) {
                dispbottom "Error! Only the party leader can enter the solo room with nobody else in the party.";
                end;
            }
        }
        if ((.@guid != 0) && ((.@guid == $bbguild[0]) || (.@guid == $bbguild[1]) || (.@guid == $bbguild[2]))) {
            mes "You have currently booked a guild room as well as a "+(compare("BB solo",instance_npcname(has_instance2("1@manp")))?"solo":"party")+" room, which one do you want to enter?";
            if (select("Guild room:"+(compare("BB solo",instance_npcname(has_instance2("1@manp")))?"Solo":"Party")+" room") == 1) goto GuildRoom;
        }
        set .@pname$,strcharinfo(0);
        message .@pname$,.@pname$+" : I feel a bit dizzy ...";
        sleep2 500;
        switch (rand(4)) {
        case 0:
            warp "1@manp",50,10;
            break;
        case 1:
            warp "1@manp",10,50;
            break;
        case 2:
            warp "1@manp",50,89;
            break;
        case 3:
            warp "1@manp",89,50;
            break;
        }
    } else if ((.@guid != 0) && ((.@guid == $bbguild[0]) || (.@guid == $bbguild[1]) || (.@guid == $bbguild[2]))) {
GuildRoom:
        set .@pname$,strcharinfo(0);
        message .@pname$,.@pname$+" : I feel a bit dizzy ...";
        sleep2 500;    
        if (.@guid == $bbguild[0])
            set .@gnui,1;
        else if (.@guid == $bbguild[1])
            set .@gnui,2;
        else if (.@guid == $bbguild[2])
            set .@gnui,3;
        switch (rand(4)) {
        case 0:
            warp "man_gu"+.@gnui,50,10;
            break;
        case 1:
            warp "man_gu"+.@gnui,10,50;
            break;
        case 2:
            warp "man_gu"+.@gnui,50,89;
            break;
        case 3:
            warp "man_gu"+.@gnui,89,50;
            break;
        }
    } else {
        message .@pname$,.@pname$+" : There are cables connected to that tree. Weird ...";
    }
    end;
}

Anyone any clue? >.<

I get this same error when rotating the valves at the official wolfchef instance. Wonder what it is....

 
*instance_npcname("<npc name>"{,<instance id>});

Haven't looked at the script in detail just from a quick glance I don't see you listing an NPC name. This also matches the error message you are getting. 

:/ not sure if that helps any.

Thanks for attempting to help. I don't know what I should do to make it work though. This happens to be a custom script, but it also gives this error with some official instances.

Well actually, all the use you have of the "instance_npcname" command are written the same way:

instance_npcname(has_instance2("1@manp"))

Basically, this can't work, as you don't specify an npc name to retrieve. So, replace all the call with some build this way

instance_npcname(Entrance#man1, has_instance2("1@manp"))

And everything should work.

Tried it exactly this way? Cause I see I was lacking quotes around Entrance#man1. SHould be 

instance_npcname("Entrance#man1", has_instance2("1@manp"))

Sorry.

We cant fix the error without knowing how you really set solo/party room.

Since you really cannot use instanced npc name to identify it, maybe add some unique variables to declare if its solo/party room?
