3-6-2019 Hightlight: Cazic Thule is now live. credit to Torven

Code: Haynar

  • NPCs that are rooted, should face their top hated target when no one is in combat range.
  • Changed the defaults for adjusting best z, when mobs are in water. The default setting now checks if the mob is in water, and only adjust their z to the ground if they not in water. This should prevent cases where mobs seem to always be on the bottom.
  • When someone is charmed, it was removing that entity from only npc hate lists. If a player is charmed, they will also have a hate list. So now a charmed entity will be removed from all hate lists. This helps prevent two charmed players from fighting each other.
  • Fixed an issue where some spells, will not land when the player has all buff slots filled. Some spells like Antidote were incorrectly being identified as having an associated buff. They should now land correctly, whether buff slots are full or not.

  • Client special attacks now do hate equal to the base damage of the skill. This is a reduction.

  • Wizard innate critical spell chance is now (min(INT, 255) + min(DEX, 255)) / 2 + 32 / 100
  • Aggressive discipline now increases the 'DI' portion of damage taken by 50%, like a reverse Defensive disc.
  • Stonestance and Protective Spirit disciplines are now precise. Note that they were only supposed to apply to the 'DI' portion of NPC damage and they are now less effective.
  • Fix to Beastlord hand-to-hand hate generation.
  • Summoned pets are now subject to a haste cap. Summoned pet haste cap is: 10 + petLevel + max(0, ownerLevel - 39) + max(0, ownerLevel - 60)
  • Archery hate is again back to weapon damage + arrow damage per shot without the multipliers, hit or miss.

  • AE spells with AEDuration set will now do a second range check at the end of the cast.
  • Pacify will now always land on NPCs assuming all other spell checks are met. If the NPC is immune, the buff will simply have no effect.
  • Applying spell effects and bonuses are now done after the second spell action packet is sent. The method was split into two, AssignBuffSlot() which is still done in the same spot, and SpellEffect() which was moved to the end of the SpellOnTarget() method.

  • Removed several redudant bonus calculations done while a spell is cast.

  • Harm Touch now has precise damage scaling: 1 + level * 10, with an additional bonus of (level - 40) * 20 (max 400) after level 40. (this is an increase over previous scaling for SKs above level 50)
  • NPCs now use the same HT as PCs and do the same increased scaling damage.

9-20-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Added the ability to disable the casting of specific spells in the database. Any spells disabled in this way will be interrupted as soon as they are cast, before all other checks. GM flag will allow the spell to be cast.
  • Changed the functionality of CanBeInZone() to also support checking a zone before the player enters it. This allows us to cancel the zoning process before it even happens, so the player won't move at all. Unfortunately, this will not work for teleport spells as the client initiates an unsolicited zone request when those spells are cast. However, it works very well for things like doors (PoK books/stones.)
  • Changed the default rule for NPC buff slots to be 30.
  • Corrected an issue that would cause a trader account to become stuck, if they lack the Luclin expansion on their account. (This is not an issue on TAK, due to our web account management system.)
  • Primary factions can now be given unique faction cap values. min_cap and max_cap were added to the faction_list database table to configure the caps.
  • Having a DoT going at any time while feigned will no longer result in faction hits after the NPC is successfully mem blurred. If a DoT hits the NPC after the blur lands faction hits will again occur.

  • Cleaned up the server weight calculation a bit more. There are times we are still 1 off, but I've confirmed that is because the client will randomly skip over items below 0.5 weight. I have no idea why. The server side weight is correct, and it's never more than 1 off, so it's good enough.

Scripts: Cavedude

  • Removed the code that cleared a NPC's quest inventory when handed an item they don't need. The item plugins will now only clear the inventory when a hand-in is completed.
  • Corrected an error in item_lib.check_turn_in that would cause items the NPC requires to be deleted when another quest was completed on the same hand-in. Depending on the logic in the NPC's script, the item will either be handed back (the NPC is using "if elseif" logic) or added to quest loot (NPC is using "if if" logic.)
  • Added new plugin item_lib.count_handed_item.
  • count_handed_item acts as a full replacement for check_turn_in. It should be used whenever a quest can be completed multiple times in a single hand-in. It will count up all the items specified in the plugin (up to 8 are supported) in the hand-in and quest loot and will return how many times the quest should complete.
  • NPCs that ask for Deathfist Slashed Belt can now complete their quest multiple times in one hand in.
  • Kunark spell turn-in quest NPCs can now complete their quest multiple times per hand-in.
  • PoK guildmasters who accept armor in exchange for gems can now complete their quest multiple times per hand-in.
  • Updated Sheriff_Roglio.lua to use count_handed_item for his runnyeye warbeads quest. Obviously since he requires 4 items this quest cannot be completed multiple times per hand-in. However, in this case using this plugin instead of check_turn_in is a bit cleaner, since you don't need to check each quest slot.
  • Added optional text parameter to item_lib.check_turn_in. The NPC will Say() this text for each item handed to them, except for the final item that completes the handin. Methods (GetCleanName()) can be passed to this text before it is sent to the plugin. However at present the text will be the same for each item handed to the NPC. If unique text per item is required, that will need to be added later.
  • Updated Phenic_Dionicas.lua and Cryssia_Stardreamer.lua as examples. Phenic_Dionicas.lua also had MQ enabled for his multi item handin, as the bug that required it to be disabled due to the previous faction check is now fixed.
  • Fixed an issue with Dalorio_Blistbobble.lua causing him to eat items he didn't need on the handin that completes his quest.

  • Ring of Vulak: Vulak will no longer poof on kill.

  • Selling an equipped item to a merchant will now properly update your appearance.
  • Added the ability to force a NPC to equip a loot drop item. This can be used if you need a NPC to prefer one item over another in a specific slot.

  • The method NPCs use to determine item material in AddLootDrop() for OP_WearChange is now matches the one used by all mobs in GetEquipmentMaterial().
  • Moved several NPC equipment methods from npc.cpp and mob.cpp to loottables.cpp.
  • Changed AddLootDrop() calls to be uniform with the database column's default values.
  • Removed several methods that were duplicates or no longer used in the NPC equipment code. (RemoveItem() being one of the primary ones.)
  • Rewrote three methods that delete NPC items to be safer, to send out OP_WearChange, and to properly clear the equipment variable for the given slot.
  • Fixed some odd behavior that occurred when a NPC has duplicate items and they have their pockets picked.
  • Hopefully improved the loading of Bazaar trader items.
  • Added rule AlKabor:LightBlueExpPenalty which controls how much of an experience penalty light blue conned mobs will have. This can be tweaked until it feels AKcurate if need be.
  • Removed the Client variable XPRate which was unused.
  • Removed support for evolving items, and several item columns we are not using in the database.
  • Added rules to change the exp percentage for each con except green.

  • Corrected an issue in the WearChange struct which hopefully fixes a few random minor problems we've seen.
  • Removed some custom messages sent by merchants.
  • Removed server agreement rules.

Haynar

  • Restored a change to spell casting animations.
  • Fixed some comparisons in eqstream.
  • Improved some of the timer functions to be more efficient. This reduces idle zone cpu usage.
  • Removed unused Lua methods for Archery and Throwing Attacks.
  • Changed delay range for static mobs, when they return home, after losing aggro. This is closer to how EQLive behaves.
  • Improved some of the precision calculations associated with geometry calculations.
  • Optimized the calculate heading to target, to go directly from radians to EQ angles. Rather than go Radians -> 0-360 degrees -> EQ angles.
  • Added delayed damage for bolt spells, archery and thrown weapons.
  • Added mob and geometry collisions for bolt spells, archery and thrown weapons.
  • Mobs fleeing should stop turning to face their attackers behind them (hopefully got rest of cases where this was happening).
  • NPCs spawned with the #spawn command will now have a default size assigned.

Database Robregen

  • All Gorilla type NPC in Plane of Mischief should drop Library card.
  • Slightly increase drop chance for Hilt of the Nobleman from skeleton in Najena.

Cavedude

  • fixed the graphic for Frist Giant Femur
  • Fixed alchemy skills.

5-3-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Disciplines will no longer be faded on client death.
  • Player armor textures will now be set in a variable each time a client initiated wear change occurs. This allows us to use these variables when sending appearance instead of iterating through items. It also allows us to send "bugged" armor appearances due to illusions. Because weapons are always sent/expected by the client, there is no benefit to store those as variables.
  • OP_WearChange will no longer be sent for armor slots while illusioned as a non-playable race. Primary/Secondary will always be sent, to match what the client expects.
  • WearChange will now only be sent for the helm slot when a player illusion fades (the client doesn't seem to keep track of the helm for whatever reason here.)
  • Removed SendTextureWC() as WearChange() has replaced its functionality.
  • NPCs will now yell for help when a detrimental spell hits them and they are mesmerized.
  • Fixed many memory leaks in bazaar trading, and a couple other minor ones else where.
  • Removed support for charm and power source inventory slots. This reduces the size of our items in shared memory, and removes a memory leak in the quest parser.
  • Some more memory leak and misc fixes found in debugging.

Haynar

  • Owner's of pets will now add to the rampage list, if the pet gets added to the hatelist of a mob that rampages.
  • Additional Memory Leak fixes.

Code: Haynar/cavedude

  • Fix for inventory items not showing up.

4-19-2017 "A great rustling appeared in the void as if the server derobed countless heroes."

Code: Cavedude

  • Corrected an issue causing damage shields to count towards XP added in the previous patch.
  • NPCs will act as if they have never been damaged before when a charm spell they are buffed with fades. This does not affect damage they do to other mobs while charmed. The owner of the pet will retain credit even after charm fades.
  • Corrected an issue that could potentially cause nobody to get credit for a NPC kill.
  • Adjusted the Feign Death skill to have a lower success chance at lower skill levels.
  • Sneak will no longer prevent quest say triggers from working.
  • Group exp split rewrite. Simplified the code and added comments and logging to make it easier to read. It is also less likely to cause issues due to counter variables with invalid values. The counter variables are now set in a single loop, instead of being set and then possibly changed later on.
  • Corrected an issue sometimes causing the split code to attempt to hand out exp, when nobody in the group qualified.
  • The server will no longer ignore /sit packets that occur after the spell is cast, but before Eye of Zomm takes control of the client.
  • Changed playeraction to use the animation enums instead of meaningless numbers.
  • Rain spells will now use the beacon's entityid in OP_Action instead of the caster's so the caster is no longer forced to stand to other players on each wave.
  • Some more tweaks to the Feign Death skill chance.
  • Reclaim Energy will now use the pet's current HP to help determine the percentage of mana that should be reclaimed.
  • Reclaim Energy now works with the Mage epic pet.
  • TGB spells will now hit the caster regardless of raid affiliation.
  • The server will no longer allow Foliage Shield to land on other groups/raids when TGB is used.

Haynar

  • Fixed some hatelist management issues that resulted in no faction hits on some mobs during ring war 10.
  • Added a fix for picking up items off ground, to prevent item loss in certain situations.
  • Zoning with a bag on the cursor will now add the internal items to the character weight appropriately.
  • Fixed some memory leaks, potential leaks, and some general inconsistencies.
  • Added some fixes for potential world server crashes.

Database: Robregen

  • Added server reset timer to HoT ToV drakes, Named Wurm in NToV, Angry Goblin, and HS boss.

4-6-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Corrected an issue causing damage shields to count towards XP added in the previous patch.

Misc: Speedz

  • move queryserv tables to separate VM to improve game server performance. Did not go as planned, reviewing for a different date.
  • Magelo - Changed the need to click worn items into a hover to see details.

4-5-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • /who all will now display AFK and LFG.
  • Pets will now use the same melee range as their owner.
  • Damage done to a NPC used to credit XP and the corpse upon their death is now kept in its own list, instead of using hatelist.
  • Removed the hatelist methods that previously handled this functionality. As a result, the Lua export GetHateDamageTop() has also been removed. (It was unused.)
  • Damage added to this list by all player pets will now count towards their owner to correct issues with charmed pets losing damage credit when charm fades. (NPC pets will keep track of their own damage, since they don't despawn when their owner dies.)
  • Rewrote a large portion of NPC:Death() to implement this new list, optimize the method, remove obsolete code, and correct a potential zone crash.
  • Rule AlKabor:HighLvlCorpsesAlwaysSpawn has been changed to AlKabor:LevelCorpsesAlwaysSpawn and now can be used to specify the level NPCs will always leave corpses if a player is present (defaults to 55.)
  • NPCs will no longer seek out other NPCs to attack in zones that never idle and have no players. (Boat/Quest zones.) This saves a good amount of CPU in local testing.
  • NPCs will no longer fully process death in zones that are idling (this shouldn't happen much anymore due to the above change.)
  • Created a new variable for /assist range, and set it to be slightly higher than /target range.
  • [Performance] Fixed a large overhead issue where every single NPC in a zone was checking to depop themselves as a swarm pet every 3ms regardless of being a swarm pet or not. Swarm pets now check to depop only when their timer is up (Akkadius from eqemu)
  • Converted the loginserver to use LogSys, removing the old error_log system. The categories used in this commit are Login_Server, Netcode, and Error. Set all three to general in order to get full log output.
  • The login's trace and world_trace options have been removed from the database. In order to enable those logs, set Netcode to general.
  • The packet_dump in/out options are still valid, and require Login_Server to be set to general.
  • Added DumpServerPacketToString() so that Server Packets can be dumped using LogSys instead of DumpPacket(). DumpPacketToString() already exists for Application Packets. Converted several DumpPacket() calls to use LogSys.
  • Some console color syntax may have been lost in this commit. New LogSys categories with a custom color can be added in that's an issue. By default, the colors are yellow for Login_Server/Netcode and red for Error.
  • Aggro scan timers will now be disabled in no combat zones.

Haynar

  • Increased Rule PetCommandRange to 200. This is used for pursuit range of pets.
  • Updated some message ranges to clients.
  • Dragging your own corpse will no longer cause aggro in some Velious zones.
  • Added some optimizations in hatelist management, where distance to mob was being calculated multiple times.
  • Added a min persuit range where timers are used and mobs will continue to chase. This will help prevent runners in ring war from being kited.
  • Pets will no longer apply hate bonuses due to closer proximity. Low HPs are still appealing though.
  • Adjusted some spell casting AI values to save CPU cycles.
  • Added combined packets for OP_MobUpdate

Robregen

  • Updated glm library to 0.9.8.4 (from 0.9.6.1) (Uleat from eqemu)
  • [Performance] Reduced CPU footprint in cases where a client is checking for aggro excessively every 750 millseconds. This has been adjusted to 2 seconds per new rule RULE_INT(Aggro, ClientAggroCheckInterval) - When zones have many players, with many NPC's, this adds up quickly (Akkadius from EQEmu)
  • [Performance] Removed a timer where clients would constantly calculate light amount on equipment every 600ms, instead clients will update light when changing equipment or entering a zone (Akkadius from EQEmu)
  • [Performance] Disabled enraged timer checks for NPC's that do not actually have enrage as a special attack (Akkadius from EQEmu)
  • [Performance] Remove unecessary log calls from EQStream hot paths (read/write) (Akkadius from EQEmu)
  • [Performance] Reworked how all log calls are made in the source (Akkadius from EQEmu)

Speedz

  • Added settings to allow/block client types.

Script: Robregen

  • Coldain Ring 10: Added a missing shout from Zrelik when issue the command to call all Coldain.
  • Coldain Ring 10: Removed an odd emote made from Dobbin Crossaxe when a command is issue to call all coldain or Dobbin.

3-22-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Dying while LD will now correctly send you to your bind point.
  • Spirit of Bih`Li will again properly stack with illusions that aren't also runspeed buffs.
  • Throwing and ammo items will no longer be placed in a container that is below their size capacity when a trade is canceled.
  • Added wandertype 8, which is labeled GridRandomCenterPoint. Wandertype 7 has been renamed to GridCenterPoint to avoid confusion. This new type causes a NPC to alternate between a random waypoint in grid_entries and a random waypoint marked with the new centerpoint column set to true. If no waypoints are marked as a centerpoint, this wandertype will not work. There is no numbering requirement or limit for centerpoints. You can have as many as you need.

Haynar

  • Updated damage message range.

Robregen

  • Config File Update Initial Update (phredi from eqemu)
  • Fixed various compile errors due to Config File update commits(KimLS, Mackal, Akkadius from eqemu)

Script Robregen

  • fixed a couple of name that should reflect a player's name with Atheling Plague and Hierophant Dexl.

3-8-2017 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

  • Removed the dupe lore check that occurs before a tradeskill recipe is performed as it breaks some recipes. The lore check will only be done after the recipe completes, meaning the product will be deleted if you already have one in your inventory.

3-8-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Added new pathgrid type 7. This grid causes a NPC to alternate between the first waypoint in their grid (Number 1 in the editor) and a random waypoint. (1 - 7 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 11 - 1 - 5 - 1, etc)
  • Changed the wandertype IDs to an enum so we know what we're looking at.
  • Added rule Character:DefaultExpansions which allows us to change the expansion that is set when a new account is created without having to change the account database table.
  • Implemented the Necro AA Flesh to Bone.
  • Added singingMod to the SE_AddSingingMod spell effect. This should fix the Bard AA Singing Mastery.
  • Corrected the AA resue timer message to use white text.
  • Removed the player_lootitem namespace so we don't need to maintain two identical ServerLootItem_Struct structs.
  • Added new method GetFactionValue() and exported it to Lua. This works similar to GetFactionLevel() except it returns the numeric faction value instead of the con value.
  • Corrected a stacking issue involving Speed of the Shissar.
  • Corrected an issue causing a duplicate lore item to be allowed during certain tradeskill combines.
  • Mod Rods' reuse timer will now persist over camping and zoning.
  • Fixed an issue causing tradeskill recipes to incorrectly use a product item as the recipe container if all other variables succeeded.
  • Tradeskill recipes that would result in a duplicate lore item on success will now fail before any items are consumed. This will prevent item loss and a possible item desync.
  • Corrected a tradeskill packet desync caused by not sending the reply packet OP_TradeSkillCombine when a tradeskill fails due to a race or class specific combine.
  • Removed some methods related to the overhauled tradeskill window newer clients have.
  • Fixed a Windows compile warning in GetDiscTimerID().
  • Bard songs with an ATK component (McVaxius` Rousing Rondo, Jonthan's Provocation) will now use normal stacking rules when compared with a spell that also has an ATK component. This corrects a buff slot desync seen in this situation.
  • Going into water on a horse will now fade the horse buff.
  • Bard beneficial AE spells will no longer land on pets.
  • Identified LastModulated field in the player profile, and we're now populating it with data and sending it to the client.
  • Implemented opcode OP_ResetSkill which resets an activated skill. (Thanks to Haynar for helping to work out the struct.)
  • The server timer for Mend will again survive zoning and camping. The skill will become available again after the original timer expires, even if pressed. (The client incorrectly resets the button.)
  • Resisting a spell will now break invis.
  • Movement speed buffs will now be blocked by illusion buffs that have a movement speed component.
  • Spells that land on any target will no longer break Feign Death.
  • SE_LimitSpellType will now check for spells that land on any target and treat them as Beneficial.
  • Smoothed the death experience loss at higher levels a bit.
  • Sacrifice will no longer cause the target to remember their HP and mana values.

Haynar

  • Many netcode updates. Many improvements to prevent client desyncs.
  • Added more size checks in inbound packets to ensure buffer is adequate.
  • Sends to client will keep track such that acks do not get more than 120 behind, preventing going into packet loss.
  • Added more checks when rolling over the ARQ under high data rates and packet loss, to prevent client from desyncs.
  • Improved pathing logic for finding hazards.
  • Reduced damage message range to match client.

Database: Robregen

  • Siren: neriad maiden / mistress should now be waterbound only
  • Warrior Epic will now combine up a new container and delete the old one. Can now have both 1h weapons and 2h weapons in inventory if use summon mage weapon "sword of runes".
  • stone skeleton in Lake Rathe should now respawn at 6 minutes.

Torven

  • necropolis: Frakadar's Talisman now a guaranteed drop.

Script: Robregen

  • Invisibility and Alliance line of spells should now work with faction involving scripts such as Shaman / SK epic quest and Circlet of the Falinkan quest.

Misc: Haynar

  • Fixed some pathing issues in Lower Guk and Estate of Unrest.

2-22-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Refreshing a buff or debuff will be blocked if the effect values are the same, and the second caster is lower in level than the original caster.
  • Skills that are affected by a skill mod will now use a hard cap of 252.
  • Moved racial skills to CanHaveSkill() and MaxSkill() to avoid having to do extra checks in multiple places. (Removed the extra checks I found.)
  • Added support for randomly spawned NPCs. Instead of requiring a spawnpoint, these NPCs will randomly spawn anywhere between the specified roambox. They will then begin pathing within that roambox. If no roambox exists for the given spawngroup, no random spawns will occur. The NPCs will be pulled from spawnentry for the given spawngroup like normal spawns are. When a random NPC dies or despawns, a new NPC will respawn in a new location after the respawntimer expires.
  • Corrected an issue causing NPCs to use their off-hand weapon's animation when no weapon can be found in their primary hand.
  • Fishing an edible item will now use the item's name in the message, instead of telling you that you caught "something."
  • Removed the code to fish up a NPC.
  • Spilling your beer while fishing will now delete a single charge of an alcoholic beverage in your inventory. If you have no alcohol on you, you will no longer get the spilled beer message.
  • Removed the hardcoded forage items, as they are completely handled by the database. This should also eliminate incorrect messages seen while foraging.
  • Corrected the issue causing shuttles to fall out of sync when there are no players in the zone.

Haynar

  • Fixed potential crash issues associated with iterator handling.
  • The pause parameter with lua moveto should now work correctly.
  • Fixed a potential crash in Client::AI_SpellCast()
  • Updated crash fix to use MAX_PP_MEMSPELL

Script: Robregen

  • Jemoz Lerkarson should now cast heal to the player as the reward for Corrupt Guards (cleric).

Misc: Haynar

  • Fixed some pathing issues in templeveeshan.path around first four-way in West Wing, and one way walls in HoT.

2-17-2017 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude:

  • The charges variable should now be uniform in methods where NPCs handle items.
  • Rewrote the code that NPCs use to swap their item's inventory slot during a Disarm to be safer, cleaner, and to prevent an exploit. MoveItemToGeneralInventory() can also be used in other systems if need be.
  • Updated player_lootitem to match ServerLootItem_Struct.


2-15-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Fixed the issue causing weapons to not update when swapped.
  • FindBestZ() will now check to make sure the Z it selects isn't lower than the zone's underworld coordinate. This will help to reduce the amount of NPCs that fall below the world. The underworld coord may need to be tweaked in problematic zones.
  • Feign Death will now display a message when it is broken due to being a target of a detrimental spell.
  • The NPC Gate message will now be filtered under critical spells.
  • Ground spawn items within a bag will now log the bag's ID when dropped or picked up in QueryServ.
  • Flaming Sword of Xuzl and Unswerving Hammer of Faith will no longer taunt.
  • Heavily reduce idle cpu footprint with many zone processes loaded simultaneously and not active (Akkadius from eqemu)
  • Handle_Connect_OP_WearChange will now be processed instead of returning, and all client initiated OP_WearChange packets will no longer send a packet to the sender.
  • Corrected an issue causing a helm update to be sent when weapons are swapped. (Todo: Figure out why the client doesn't always send OP_WearChange on swaps so this code can be removed entirely.)
  • The client initiated OP_WearChange that happens due to removal of a helm will now send the packet properly if the client has showhelm off.
  • When a new player with a helm that has a graphic enters a zone, an additional packet will be sent to every player with showhelm off to hopefully prevent general texture updates from overriding the helm texture.

Haynar

  • Netcode updates to fix desyncs for very low latency connections.
  • Added netcode improvements to help with desyncs.

Robregen

  • Apply KLS' tweaks to Log.Out (CPU saves) (Akkadius from eqemu)

Database: Robregen

  • Raster of Guk / PH should despawn and respawn
  • Added a missing east common NPC "a leaf scarab" as well as a missing drop "Large leaf scarab eye".
  • Added a missing drop "Rijoelys Dancing Rapier" from Rijoely in Velketor
  • The following effects items were fixed to match the era we are in: Abram's Axe of the Stoic, Tolan's Darkwood Boots, Singing Steel Vambracess, Wolves Blood Potion lines, Fleeting Lanquor Potion line, Spiroc Wingblade, Spirit Caller's Boots, Spirit Weaver's Boots, and Rune Crafter's Boots.
  • Added a missing NPC "Omorb" in Qeynos Catacomb.

2-8-2017

Code: Cavedude

  • Moved OP_WearChange from encode to native code.
  • Removed hero_forge_model and other out of era code in OP_WearChange.
  • Helms using idfile IT240 and material 0 will now send their idfile in OP_WearChange instead of their material. (This fixes 20 custom helms.) The same was also done to the character select code.
  • Cleaned up some logic in the character select armor appearance code.
  • Removed the player tint code for LoY dye.
  • Added code to ensure helm updates are always sent to other players.
  • Replaced meaningless numbers in many material loops with the informative enums MATERIAL_BEGIN and MATERIAL_END.
  • Added player command #showhelm. Full syntax is:
  • #showhelm on/off [all]
  • This toggles all player helms (including your own) on or off both in-game and at character select. If the optional "all" argument is used, all characters on the current account will be toggled. If it isn't used, only the current character will be affected. The showhelm option is saved in the database per player, so it doesn't need to be toggled each time you play. Also, different characters on the same account can each have different settings if desired. This command will not work for NPCs who spawn with helms. (It may work if the NPC is given a helm, but that is untested.)
  • Disarm will now return magical weapons to the NPC's inventory, instead of failing.
  • Added IMMUNE_DISARM special ability, to allow content developers to mark specific NPCs as being immune to disarm.
  • Made Disarm() a virtual method to clean up the code some.
  • Form of the Great Bear will now turn Iksar into a black bear.
  • Group invites will no longer place players in a existing raid as an ungrouped member if the group they were invited to has become full. (They will need to be raid invited or invited to another group.)
  • Moved up some more events and emotes on NPC death.
  • Changed the merchant item quantity cap to a variable, and set it to 500.
  • NPC database emotes now supports basic variables. More than one variable can be used at a time.
  • A NPC can now have multiple emotes per event type. They will randomly choose one of the emotes each time it is triggered.
  • The hailed emote trigger will now pause and turn the NPC to face the hailing player.
  • Corrected an issue causing NPCs to not be able to equip secondary only items without first equipping a primary.

Haynar

  • Pushback spells will now push in the direction the caster is facing.
  • Added a check for a potential buffer overflow error with TCP communications.
  • Added a check for releasing stale USC connections that closed abnormally.

  • Rogue poisons that are applied to piercing weapons will now only proc once on the first successful normal attack and then will fade.
  • Ranger archery bonus will now be applied to permarooted NPCs.
  • QuestReward() will no longer give faction hits if the NPC is charmed.
  • Corrected an issue causing pet health to exceed 100%.
  • Corrected spell stacking rules for resurrection effects and for beneficial vs detrimental spells with an AC effect in slot 4.
  • Optimized /consent a bit to hopefully prevent an issue causing consent to be denied when it shouldn't be.

  • Ignore distance now has a timer that starts when the entity has outdistanced the NPC. When the timer expires, the entity is removed from the hate list. This time is currently set to 180 seconds, but what it was on AK was unknown. Debate welcome.
  • NPCs will now not ignore mobs that outdistance them AND have damaged them until 24 seconds have passed. Entities that have done no damage will be ignored immediately after exceeding ignore distance.
  • NPCs that have nobody in range to chase will now loiter (if they are loitering NPCs) before returning home. When they return home, they will remain at run speed so long as they hate somebody.
  • NPCs will no longer forget non-feigned players once they reach their home points.

Code: Cavedude

  • Ground Spawns (both dropped and picked up) are now logged by QueryServ including items within bags.
  • Player trade QueryServ logging will now log items within a bag.
  • Fixed an issue causing incorrect item counts and charges during trade logging.
  • Rewrote player and NPC item trade QueryServ logs to use the same table, qs_player_trade_items_log. Only pertinent information regarding the current item will be in this table. Coin and other information will be handled in other tables. The type column will also warn you if the item is possibly eaten.
  • qs_player_trade_log will log coin and item counts for player trades, and qs_player_handin_log will log the same for NPC trades. The schema of these two tables have been changed quite a bit, so the required SQL will archive the old table before souring in the new.
  • Dropping items to the ground due to being full will now be logged in qs_player_ground_spawns_log and will be marked, making these entries easier to identify.
  • Client::CreateGroundObject() will now handle the message when an item is dropped due to being full.
  • Corrected an issue where items within a bag may not be dropped correctly if a trade fails, is reset, and the player's inventory is full.
  • No drop quest rewards will now be forced to the cursor queue if the inventory is full. If the cursor queue is full, or the item already exists on the queue the new item will be deleted!

  • Fixed an issue where large mobs returning to guard locations, may not find nearby path nodes due to being too large.
  • Mobs on a grid that have a move_to used, will now use path when available to return to their grid.
  • When a mob is aggro'd on a grid, they will return to the waypoint they are on if aggro is lost, rather than moving on to the next waypoint.
  • NPCs will now respond and start moving immediately following execution of the quest::MoveTo command.
  • NPC thrown items (i.e. spears) will now show the correct item flying through the air.

  • Fixed an issue with mobs charmed while in flee mode, so they will respond correctly to commands.

Torven

  • Fixed a problem with UCS trying to close streams multiple times.
  • Fixed a timeout issue with UCS timeout checks that results in trying to close the stream again in the closed state, when the connection timed out. The issue was associated with not allowing the stream enough time to actually close and the timeout remained triggered leading to a race state in closing the connection.


Code: Cavedude

  • Harm Touch and Lay on Hands will now sync better between server and client.
  • More player timers are now cleared on death.

  • Netcode fixes - Changed how resend are flagged for packets.

Torven Spell Partial Determination Logic Change

  • IsPartialCapableSpell() has been changed to return true if the spell's first effect is effect id 0 or 79 (damage), else it will return false. It will no longer return false if the spell has a duration. Dispel effects are no longer ignored. Dragon AoEs will still partial as their first effect is damage.
  • The result of this change is that certain raid boss spells will now use the 600 resist scale instead of the 200 scale, and will partial hit even if the spells have effects like stuns or AC debuffs. This fixes it to function as Sony's spells do.
  • Some player spells will now also hit better. Enchanter DDs will now partial hit. Druid magic DoTs and necro fire DoTs will now hit much better.

11-30-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Charmed pets will now be aggroed by NPCs that are KOS to their owner.
  • Simplified the logic in CheckWillAggro().
  • Removed rules Aggro:SmartAggroList, Aggro:IntAggroThreshold, and Aggro:UseLevelAggro as they are either obsolete or produce unnecessary code.
  • Group members while in a raid are now sent in the player profile like normal groups which prevents an incorrect message and allows us to send a much smaller group packet.
  • Raid group members will now receive the group leader update packet instead of the full group update packet when they enter a new zone.
  • Changed or removed some packets sent when a raid group member is added or removed. This will prevent duplicated or incorrect messages.
  • Added some messages when a raid group invite fails.
  • /consent can now be used whenever a new corpse is created to grant permission to the new corpse (or any others that are not already consented.) Using the command a second time when all available corpses are consented will revoke consent.
  • The consent list will no longer expire on a timer. Consent will now only be revoked using the command, looting a corpse, having a corpse poof, or on server resets.
  • Lay on Hands and Harm Touch are now excluded from the spell recovery timer.
  • Simplified the logic in CheckWillAggro() even more.
  • Summoned pets will now use their owner's resists and level when checking if they will resist a spell if the caster is a NPC. They will continue to use their own immunities.
  • The GetFaction() lua method now will return 0 if the player is max ally (+2000) with the given faction or 10 if they are max scowling (-2000.)
  • NPCs will now use light source items from their general inventory.
  • NPCs that are fleeing will now set a 7 second timer, and once that timer expires any feigned players (or players that feign after that point) will not receive XP or a faction hit. This is not exactly how Live works but it approximates the functionality, without changing our flee pathing code.
  • Players that feign before the NPC begins to flee are not affected by this, because they always avoid the faction hit anyway.
  • Changed corpses to use the same light source code as NPCs.
  • Fixed a spell buff desync that occurred when a player's buff bar is full and a detrimental buff is cast on them.
  • Corrected a spell buff desync that occurred due to incorrect stacking rules involving HP regen spells and DOTs.
  • DOT damage is now combined with the HP tick packet, to keep the client and server in sync better.
  • Fixed some logic that was causing DOTs to give an incorrect message and prevented the client from completing its death routine.
  • Corrected an issue causing the server to not always fade buffs by client request.

Haynar

  • Fixed an issue with the pathing node system, when a fleeing mob is snared to the stop, their heading changes. They should continue to face the pathing node they are heading towards, rather than rotate towards their final destination.

  • Fixed the issue causing players who aren't on the hatelist to fail to receive part of the group XP split.


11-16-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Hide is now treated like an invis and will use the see_invis column of npc_types. see_hide has been removed.
  • Whenever a Rogue is hidden or made invisible, they will also get invisibility vs undead. This means that any invis spell, ability or hide on a Rogue is now dependent on both see_invis and see_invis_undead in npc_types. A NPC will need to see through both in order to see the Rogue.
  • Added see_sneak, which allows NPCs to see through sneak if set.
  • The blur component of feign death no longer needs to succeed in order to prevent a faction hit.
  • Faction hits will occur if a player feigns while the NPC is already fleeing (not rooted.)
  • Renamed dot_memory_list to faction_memory_list as that name makes more sense for the list's purpose.
  • Players will no longer receive XP or count towards the split if they are feigned and in a group.
  • Corrected an issue causing the damage report to display twice.
  • The Depop spawn_condition will no longer start spawn timers.
  • Fixed a problem that caused freezing to death to be counted as an client initiated death instead of environmental (Only really matters for bookkeeping.)
  • Factions now have an overall cap of -2000/+2000. Players will no longer be able to go past either cap, even if their personal faction has not reached the cap for a given faction.
  • Corrected an issue causing illusions to not use a player's base mods when writing their faction to the database.
  • Removed spells_new columns that were either unimplemented in our current code or that were all one value in our table. Columns that exist in our spells_en.txt file were all kept, even if they did not have valid values.
  • Renamed all unknown columns using http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?spell_effect_fields
  • Changed pushup and pushback columns to be a float.
  • Removed any code associated with the removed columns.
  • Removed all unused spell target types and their implementations.
  • Corrected the spell stacking desync that occurred when a upgraded beneficial ATK spell is cast over a beneficial illusion spell with an ATK component. (The ATK spell should be blocked by the illusion.)
  • The output of /pet health is now AKurate.
  • Expanded the see_illusion column under faction_list to affect normal non-base race illusions in addition to Treeform/Minor Illusion. This will cause any NPC on that faction to view the player as they have no illusion up at all. This column does not work on base race illusions!

Haynar

  • UCS Fixes
  • Included Dual Wield chance in the secondary weapon proc rate calculation to make it more accurate.
  • Increased Beastlord pet buff based proc rates to be correct.
  • Spell buff based procs will now only be possible on primary attacks. Some special attacks and secondary attacks were causing spell based procs incorrectly. This was happening for PC and NPC.

11-2-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Normal damage shields bonuses will no longer stack with reverse (healing) damage shields. When a reverse damage shield fades, any normal damage shield still on the mob will continue to work again as normal. Damage shields of the same type will continue to stack, provided they passed the spell stacking rules.
  • A small number of merchants are now considered greedy and will sell items at a higher price and buy lower than other merchants.
  • Removed rule Merchant:UsePriceMod as it wasn't needed.
  • CalcPriceMod() will now only be called when needed once, instead of being called on every item.
  • Added command #setgreed to set a NPC's greed. #showstats will now display the greed value and percentage.
  • Added command #giveplayerfaction [factionid] [value] which gives the target player or self the specified number of faction points with the factionid. This acts exactly like a lua faction hit.
  • Faction hits that originated from Lua or command will no longer skip GMs with their flag up.
  • Added a check to prevent a duplicate lore item from being removed from a world container.
  • Rewrote most of NPC::Death(). Consolidated much of the logic, removed unused or unnecessary code, and improved the overall stability. Also added many comments for clarity.
  • NPCs level 55 and over will now grant XP and faction hits if there is at least one player on their hatelist in most cases.
  • Corrected a couple of cases where a pet could "steal" XP credit.
  • DoT damage done while feigned will now be remembered by NPCs and will result in faction hits and XP. (This damage will only be remembered upon death, it won't count towards normal hate.)
  • Added command #clearfeign to clear both the dot_memory and feign_memory lists on the target NPC.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the total damage done by players to a NPC to go negative by mistake.
  • GMs will no longer need to have their flag up to see damage report totals on death, they simply need to be on the hatelist. Also added a message to it telling you if faction hits should occur or not.
  • Removed Combat:EXPFromDmgShield and NPC:EnableMeritBasedFaction rules.
  • Eye of Zomm will now always grant 1 point of XP, ignoring the server multiplier rules.
  • Client bonuses will no longer be calculated continuously when the caster has an Eye of Zomm up.

  • ONDEATH NPC emote will now work if there is no deathblow Mob.
  • Fixed an issue where a corpse is created, but no player is assigned loot rights.

  • Both of the above QueryServ categories will now take one less internal packet hop.
  • SameFactions() will now return false if one or both of the given factionIDs are 0.
  • Resurrection effects will no longer be faded when players zone with low health.
  • Added a couple more greedy vendors.

  • Lower Guk undead frogloks should now only flee when alone.
  • CoV should now assist GoV faction mobs in ToV.

Torven

  • A significant change has been made to Veeshan's Peak. The zone is now flagged to disable LoS checks. Previously only the dragon spells were flagged No LoS, but as they are used in Velious content, they had to be reverted to their normal state. Veeshan's Peak on Live is a 'semi-LoS' zone-- meaning some walls block sight but most do not. TAKP currently lacks the capacity to create server side semi-LoS sight maps for zones, so it's either make every little bump in the geometry block sight/AoEs or none. The latter was chosen.
  • templeveeshan: Fixed the 'unslowable' drakes in NToV which had incorrect attack delays.
  • templeveeshan: Dagarn the Destroyer's ATK and AC increased.
  • templeveeshan: Aaryonar will now AoE more frequently.

10-21-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

Haynar

  • Added using Mutex to the UCS Stream. Changed how stale UCS connections are removed, to prevent crashes.

  • Attempting to /tar an untargetable NPC will now display "I don't see anyone by that name around here..."
  • Changed IsUnTargetable() to always return true for quest triggers.
  • NPCs that can't see the attacker due to invis will still assist if they are on the same faction (npc_faction_id) as the NPC requesting help. If the factionid is different, and they cannot see through the invis, they will not assist. This allows for situations were NPCs on the same primary faction may not assist each other due to invisibility if they are on different factionids. (Due to having different hits, or different assist behaviors.)
  • The above applies to all forms of invisibility, including VsUndead, VsAnimal, hide, and sneak.
  • Sneak will no longer break when a player attacks, or uses a ranged weapon.
  • Trader accounts are now locked in Bazaar. New characters will start in Bazaar and have bind set to the same. All zoning requests will be denied. If your character is currently not in Bazaar, they will automatically be moved when they log in.
  • Bazaar is now the default zone in case of a server error for all characters. (Previously it was either qeynos or arena.)
  • Trader accounts may now enter nexus and poknowledge in addition to bazaar.

  • /consent will no longer work on corpses created after consent was given.
  • CombatRange() is now a virtual method. The definition for both NPC and Client are in roughly the same spot as the old Mob method was in aggro.cpp.
  • Under normal melee conditions, NPCs will now use their target's combat range in addition to their own to determine their position.
  • If the NPC is rooted or moving, it will only use its own combat range, meaning its position may be in a spot where it can hit you, but you can't hit it.

Torven

  • The melee push code will now readjust the NPC's center point if the point is too close to walls, which should make corner tanking much more reliable.
  • The collision 'cushion' size cap around NPCs reduced back down to 2.5.
  • The Archery nerf has been re-enabled.
  • Rogue evade changed to the following logic:

- hate amount = level * 10, capped at 500. (note the scaling is a guess and subject to change) - if Rogue is top hate and 3 or more haters on list then reduce hate to point between hater 2 and 3 if point would reduce by more than hate amount, else reduce by hate amount - rogue hate is not reduced below 1 point

  • Rogue evade was previously erroneously adding extra hate instead of subtracting hate on high hitpoint NPCs and has been corrected.
  • #hatelist is now sorted by entity hate in descending order, not including bonus hate.
  • #hatelist now displays entity classes and the rampage top 10 will also display entity distance to the NPC.
  • NPCs now also check feign memory while in combat instead of only while not in combat.

Haynar

  • Updated UCS mailkey to match captures from AK.
  • Added LoS fixes for large mobs and AEs.

  • Bind Wound will no longer heal above 50% HP, without bonuses.

  • Cleaned up the slot code, and removed a few completely unused defines.

  • An error message will now display if Alliance can not land on a NPC due to not having faction in the database.

Torven

  • The ExtraAttackOptions struct that was passed to Attack() and used by special attacks (rampage, flurry, wild ramp) has been removed and replaced with a simple damage percent paramater. The struct was merely a collection of redundant damage modifying variables that did not exist on AK. (e.g. armor penetration, criticals for NPCs)
  • Attack() parameters 'FromRiposte' 'IsStrikethrough' 'IsFromSpell' removed as they were not used.
  • Rampage now has a maximum range, beyond which targets are not rampable. The default range is 75.
  • Rampage paramters read in from the database have changed. The new paramters are: chance per round, range, and damage percent. E.g. if you wanted an NPC to rampage 35% of the time, with a limit of 150 range, at 50% damage: 3,1,35,150,50
  • Rampage will now class attack (bash, backstab) the ramp target 50% of the time instead of 100%. This was a sort of middle ground as Sony's logic to determine whether ramps should class attack is unknown.
  • Several special attack related rules removed as they did not apply to AK and frankly made little sense.
  • default wild ramp targets
  • Corrected an issue where glancing push vectors would have incorrect magnitudes.
  • The 'cushion' size around NPCs that prevents their centerpoints from hitting walls has been capped at 2.5. This means that larger NPCs will go into walls more than they used to. Shrink on medium to large races will generally be required to corner tank large NPCs now.
  • Archery will no longer hit cornered NPCs.

  • Fixed so mobs that depop at end of pathgrid still path and depop while zones are empty. This makes these mobs no longer always appear at start locations for the 1st person in a zone after long idle. (Credit to Noudess)

Code: Cavedude

  • Added boot_variance column to spawn2.
  • Bard clicky songs will no longer attempt to pulse.
  • Fixed the crash caused by casting Bind Sight on a corpse.
  • Coin will now be properly updated when /split is used and the server is unable to successfully complete the split.
  • Large race NPCs will now open doors as they walk through them.
  • Eye of Zomm will now be faded when an Succor type spell is cast on a player to avoid ending up at invalid coords.
  • The server will now calculate the SeeInvis worn effect bonus properly.
  • The range values when checking if a NPC should open a door or not are now rules, so they can be tweaked on the fly if needed.
  • Numerous fixes to keep linked doors in sync with each other when one is opened or closed.

(close_time specifies how long a door will stay open for before it is closed server side. This allows us to control the time on each door, instead of hardcoding values in the code. Setting the column to 0 keeps the door open until is is closed by a player or NPC. (The PoK elevator uses this.) This column is also useful to keep a set of linked doors in sync when they have two different client side close timers. KELSEYDOOR and KELSEYDOOR2 in sleeper is an example of this.) (Added can_open to doors, which specifies if the door is usable or is just a zone object (crate, tent, torch, etc.) This prevents NPCs from trying to open these objects, and will also return on a player click instead of trying to work with the door. I've populated this column the best I could, however there may be errors and I am sure omissions. (There is no way to tell if a door is a real door or an object in many cases without going in-game and looking.) If players are unable to open a specific door after this patch, please post in database bugs.) Haynar

  • Added support for dragging corpses to cause aggro in certain Velious zones.
  • Increased the max amount of nodes culled, when determining a path, to improve pathing route calculations.
  • Improved "/camp desktop" to more consistently allow the client to completely exit.
  • The command /pet attack [mobname] will have similar restrictions comparted to /target [mobname]. The command will no longer have unlimited range, allowing it to function like a ghetto form of tracking.
  • Set the max range to 350 for /pet attack command.

Torven

  • NPCs above level 60 now have slightly less ATK.
  • The Taunt skill will now add +10 hate on success above the top hater if the taunter does not have the most hate before or after bonuses. This allows the taunter to overcome the minor first-to-aggro bonus after 4 successful taunts.
  • The random 0-4 second recast variance for NPC spells was not being applied as intended and has been fixed. This means raid boss AoE recast times are now an average of 2 seconds longer.
  • Spell hate on belly caster NPCs maybe possibly hopefully fixed.

Code: Cavedude

  • Fixed the crash caused by casting Bind Sight on a corpse.

hotfix: Cavedude

  • Fixed broken damage spells. Whoops.

Code: Cavedude

  • Changed some size related columns to be the same as what Al'Kabor sent in the ZoneEntry and PlayerProfile packets.
  • Going unconscious should work better.
  • Flee will now be paused when a NPC is charmed, and it's also checked for in ProcessFlee()
  • Added a check if flee is paused for an unknown reason to manually recalculate a new path, as the likely explanation is a node could not be found.
  • Added HP regen while unconscious and hungry.
  • Added alive/unconscious/dead state to #showstats for clients.
  • Removed all references to NPCTypedata_ours as it was created, and never accessed.
  • Removed all spell effects and associated code (spell variables, spell bonus variables, timers, focus defines, etc) that we will never use and are not found anywhere in our database.
  • Corrected a missing break that was causing the fade message to not always occur when an invisible spell faded early.
  • Skin of the Shadow is now a fixed invisible spell.
  • Right clicking a charged item on a bazaar trader will now properly display the item's current number of charges.
  • Discipline timer groups are now set by a rule, which defaults to disabled. All discs will now share the same reuse timer.
  • Bind Sight will now longer cause beneficial aggro.
  • Changed logging a bit to try to track down the cause of the "did not take hold" bug.
  • Removed Perl and associated files.
  • Fixed healing spells that were broken in the spell cleanup commit.
  • Corrected a specific situation where temporary items were not being deleted from merchants properly.
  • Bard beneficial songs will now always overwrite songs of the same type, regardless of level, modifiers, or spell. This includes Shauri`s Sonorous Clouding, which is the sole exception to invisibility stacking.
  • Corrected an issue causing Bards to stop pulsing if another Bard is pulsing the same song nearby.
  • Skills that skillup on green cons will now only skillup if the mob is 1 level away from light blue. (This needs more research to determine if it should be a global rule, and affect things like XP as well.)
  • Correction to last commit. When a NPC is one level below light blue, its con message is slightly different than a normal green. This http://i.imgur.com/ED2YKYG.png screenshot provided by surron suggests that NPCs with a normal green con message could produce Offense skillups using a DS on AK. So, I increased the calculation to allow skillups from NPCs 2 levels away from light blue in this particular situation.
