7-21-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Revert "Removed mod_functions.cpp and the associated calls."
7-19-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Revert "Charm should now break as soon as the owner zones, to prevent kill steals by the former pet and possibly faction wars." -- an attempt to fix an elusive crash.
7-17-2106 (hotfix) The year is 2106 and cavedude still needs beer
Code:
Cavedude
* Removed all references to NPCTypedata_ours as it was created, and never accessed. It was causing a zone crash when deleted in the NPC destructor, so hopefully that will be fixed.
Script:
Robregen
* Fixed the "Cure for Lempeck Hargrin" quest where it was not giving reward.
7-13-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Treeform will no longer be faded immediately after casting.
* Expendable and potion items will no longer have a level restriction to use.
* Elevator/Lift type doors will now function without requiring multiple clicks.
* Beneficial spells will no longer break sneak and hide.
* Damage Shields will activate on hits where the damage is completely absorbed by a rune.
* Gating within the same zone will no longer cause you to lose your pet.
* Groups spells with TGB on will now target the caster if the original target is out of range, or is not a client.
* Implemented OP_CancelSneakHide.
* /guildstatus will now work on yourself.
* Cleaned up the /split handle some, and added the correct messages.
* Gravity Flux type spells will now work properly.
* Gravity Flux will no longer send an extra action packet.
* Fixed an issue causing expendable items to have 0 cast time.
* Shrink spells will now be capped at Gnome height. Growth spells will be capped at Ogre height.
* Shrink will now require the correct number of casts to get to minimum size.
* Shrink will no longer affect entities size 20 or higher.
* NPCs on roamboxes or grids with no delay on the first waypoint will no longer pause before starting to path.
* Corrected an issue causing Minor Illusion and Treeform to not show up correct for new players in the zone.
* Corrected the chance of Feign Death spells with a base value of 1 in the database.
* Removed mod_functions.cpp and the associated calls.
* Fixed aggro which was broken by the mod removal.
* Fixed an issue causing an old group member to rejoin the group after zoning.
* Accepting a group invite after the group is already full will no longer prevent the client from joining another group.
* Speaking in a language will now be sent to group members in other zones.
* Mobs that were blinded were being included in every use of IsFeared() which was bad. Blinded mobs can still cast spells when in melee range. The original fear code had no blind rolled into it, I added that. This was an overright. I changed the macro to use bonues and fleemode instead of looking at curfp. Testing looks good to me. (cherry picked From EQEmu credit to Paul Coene)
* SE_IllusionPersistence affects self only (Cherry picked from EQEmu - Credit to Demonstar)
* Fix illusions on zone (Cherry picked from EQEmu - Credit to Demonstar)
* Fixed a zone crash in AE spell logging.
* Invisible spells will no longer flash when they fade early.
* Bind Sight will now be faded when an illusion fades.
* When a player death occurs during a trade, any items in that player's trade queue will now directly go to the corpse to prevent item loss.
* Increased the default decay time for items dropped to the ground due to being full to 6 hours.
* Client initiated deaths will no longer generate duplicated messages.
* Removing an item that has more HP than your base max will no longer kill you, assuming the difference between your current HP and your max HP with the item wasn't more than your total HP without it. (Eg: You have 32 HP, you equip an item with 50 HP, making your total 82 HP. If you get hit for 35 HP and remove the item, you will die/go unconscious because 35 is greater than 32. However, if you are only hit for 31 and you take it off, you will survive with 1 HP left.)
* Fixed some potential zone crashes and altered some logging for trading.
* Players that die during a trade who do not leave a corpse will now cancel the trade before the death packet creation. This ensures the trade queue items are returned to the player, or dropped to the ground properly if the player has become "full" due to shifting items around. (This is mainly an issue with bags, since normal items will just go to your first open slot.)
* The client will now handle death due to a DOT tic, this will prevent double messages.
* The client will now also handle deaths caused by damaging yourself.
* Changed the logic regarding death to a DOT to accomodate NPCs.
Haynar
* Updated z_offset calcs for fixed size races.
Torven
[Tradeskill combine and skill-up code redone]
* TradeskillExecute() and CheckIncreaseTradeskill() cleaned up for accuracy and readability.
* Mastery AAs for tradeskills other than Jewelcrafting and Alchemy removed. (Poison Mastery not yet implemented)
* The tradeskill combine fail chance reduction beyond the last 5% has been removed, as it was a July 2003 addition. All combines now have a 5% minimum chance to fail regardless of crafter skill.
* The 5% minimum chance to fail is now applied after mastery AAs are considered.
* Added the increased chance of a skillup for tradeskills when skill <= 15.
Database:
Robregen

7-6-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Fixed a zone crash caused by Begging without a valid target.
6-30-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Treeform will no longer be faded immediately after casting.
* Support code to prevent charmed NPCs from eating multiquest items.
6-29-2016 they had an npc that straight up summoned gold this is fine!
Code:
Cavedude
* Added message for disarm success.
* Updated the Bard stacking rules to correctly handle movement speed buffs and debuffs.
* "You cannot see your target." when casting a spell will no longer generate interrupted messages for players around the caster.
* Sacrifice and DOTs will now produce the proper messages on death.
* Rewrote Beg to no longer cause a client desync.
* Changed the chance for a NPC to attack while begging and the coin type and amount on success to be based on the player's beg skill.
* Coin on beg successes will now be removed from the NPC's loot, instead of being summoned.
* Fixed an issue causing controllable row boats to not update their position properly.
* Bard pulses will now always do a resist check.
* Renamed ResistSpell() to CheckResistSpell() to make its function more clear.
* Consolidated the code that handles successful resists to ResistSpell().
* Changed AE spells with a target limit to default to 5 targets allowed. Damage spells are limited to 4, with the exception of the Al'Kabor line of spells.
* AE Mez spells will now have a target limit.
* Corrected an issue where the target would not count towards the limit for certain AE spells.
* Casting a Mez spell on yourself will bypass the level cap check. You still have a chance to resist the spell.
* Bard pulses will now be cancelled while on a boat.
* The Stun, Charm, Pacify, and Mez family of spells will now only enforce the spell level limit when the caster is a player and the target is a NPC. Every other combination will not use a level limit.
* Removed the rule Spells:NPCIgnoreBaseImmunity as it only served to create confusing logic.
* Corrected an issue where Mez spells would sometimes be considered beneficial.
* Prevented an unlikely situation where Harmony spells could use the wrong target to perform its casting checks.
* Added a caster check to prevent a redundant spell resist message.
* Spells will now set a recovery timer upon successful completion of a cast. This timer will be checked after a spell completes the casting phase. If the timer is not yet expired, the new spell will be interrupted.
* Removed the 400 millisecond delay when using clickies with a cast time. Clickies are also exempt from the recovery timer.
* Added a rule Spells:SpellRecoveryTimer to control how long the recovery timer is. It defaults to 2500 milliseconds.
* When any Alliance type spell is cast, any faction bonuses caused by a previous cast will be removed.
* All players in a zone will now receive door open packets by NPCs for the benefit of Eye of Zomm.
* Fixed a spell slot desync issue that happened with specific buffs.
* Treeform will now be faded server side when a player movement update is recieved. This is a workaround for the issue allowing Treeform to stick anywhere server side due to a lack of tree data in our map files.
* Corrected the spell stacking rules regarding illusion spells.
* Wolf Form spells will now use the correct texture.
* Bind Wound will no longer force the target to stand.
* Corrected the Bind Wound messages.
* Corrected an issue causing the max heal percentage of Bind Wound to not be calculated correctly.
* Added combat messages for Thunderkick, Silentfist, and Ashenhand disciplines.
* Fixed an overflow found in the Monk disc reuse timers. Monks who were affected by this will see their discipline reuse timers drop considerably, so be sure to check.
* Lowered the chance that spin stuns can break early. (This excludes Whirl till you hurl and Dyn`s Dizzying Draught - they remain broken.)
* Charm should now break as soon as the owner zones, to prevent kill steals by the former pet and possibly faction wars.
* Rez will now fade charm on your pet. The hatelist is cleared after the charm is faded, so the former pet will not have aggro.
* Beneficial and Detrimental single target spells no longer use the Z coord in the server's range check.
* Casting on a target who is standing on "ice" or "slime" and the caster is in a normal region or vice versa will now work properly.
* Added NPC Special Ability to always leave a corpse if the deathblow was dealt by a client or a client's pet.
* Added support code required for charmed NPCs with lua scripts to accept and equip items they do not require in their trade event.
* NPCs will now use the correct damage messages after being disarmed.
* Consolidated breaking sneak and hide to a single method. Replaced most of the raw packet creation for both with SendApperancePacket().
* Sneak/Hide will now break properly when casting a spell, when a spell lands on a player, when a player resists a spell, when attacking, when attacked, and when an old world trap is clicked and the player either lacks the disarm skill, or the disarm attempt fails. (Many of these were already working, I just confirmed them.)
* Resting a spell or being missed by a combat swing will cause the sneak button to "bug" if the player is not also hidden. The player will need to click the button to reset it. This quirk occurred on AK.
* Fixed an issue causing the hide packet to not be sent out correctly for racial hide on failures.
* Corrected an issue causing Sneak to sometimes incorrectly cancel hide, and to send out an invisible appearance packet instead of a sneak packet (copy/paste error?)
* Rewrote Sense Traps to support old world traps (swinging axe, falling ceiling, etc) and to provide accurate messages.
* Old world traps can now be disarmed by clicking on them, if you have the trap disarm skill.
* Added more logging for sneak, hide, and traps.
* Removed the cooldown timer that occurs when clickies are used.
* Removed support of the RecastDelay item database column since no clicky item in the DB uses it. Also removed pTimerItemStart which is the associated timer.
* Tradeskill skillups will now use the difficulty value from the database instead of the hardcoded values. (No values have been changed!)
* At skill 190, the chance to succeed on a tradeskill skillup will correctly be 5%, instead of 5.99%.
* Removed rule Skills:TradeskillSkillUpModifier. Difficulty can be changed per skill in the DB now.
* Increased the difficulty cap for normal skillups to accommodate begging.
* Bard pulses will no longer check for line of sight.
* Skills that allow skillups from green cons (offense on damage shields) will no longer allow skillups if the NPC is green and level 18 or under.
Haynar
* Bard instrument modifiers associated with buffs will now carry when zoning
* Added code support for zoning out of airplane, to replace the zoner script. (This should fixed the issue with the occasional death when jumping off the islands.)
* Fixed an issue with zoning that drops you to server select, under certain conditions.
* Very high snares will no longer make running mobs stop. Walking or fleeing (feared) mobs can still be stopped by high snares.
Database
Robregen
* Added a missing groundspawn "Abandoned Orc Shovel" in lake rathe
* Putrid Skeletons should now cast Putrid breath
* The Spectre in Feerrott will now see ivu
* decaying initiate / decaying councilman should be more common in Nektulos.
* a spirit of flame (cleric epic) should now leave a corpse if it recieve a death blow from the player.
* removed roambox and add grids to named cycle in Frontier Mountain.
* Named Cycle in Frontier Mountain should now instantly respawn
* Hangnail in Karnor Castle should now give a negative faction hit with Venril Sathir.
* adjust the following tradeskill:
-- Jewelcrafting, Fletching to 4
-- Baking, Brewing to 3
-- Tailoring, Smithing to 2
6-17-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Changed the random location adjustment that happens when a port or spell is used to get its value from the random_loc column of the zone table. This allows us to disable it per zone (set to 0) or make the value bigger smaller as needed (default is -/+ 3)
* Player location will no longer be adjusted for intrazone moves.
* Fixed an issue that caused doors to save the adjusted coordinates the last player used, instead of rolling with the door's default coordinates.
6-15-2016 (hotfix)
Code:
Cavedude
* Fixed a zone crash that happens when a player is damaged and there is no attacker.
6-15-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Eye of Zomm will no longer force the caster to stand after it has faded.
* Eye of Zomm will now swim at a painfully slow rate.
* Corpses will now sink to the bottom in water.
* Fixed an issue that sometimes caused corpses to end up in the wrong location when they fell off a boat.
* Rewrote /camp to fix an issue causing the player to leave their group when the camp is abandonded.
* Removed the "soandso has left the zone" message players recieved when a group member zoned.
* Moved a log message when a player leaves the group to a better spot to avoid spam and confusion.
* Added accountid column to group_id. This is for the benefit of world so it can remove a member of a group after the client's variables are cleared.
* Changed success in CheckIncreaseSkill() to use uint8, and added an enum for SKILLUP_SUCCESS and SKILLUP_FAILURE to make it less confusing and easier to read.
* Damage and death packets will now be sent in the correct order. This corrects some invalid messages including most pain and suffering messages.
* When death occurs on a combat swing, the final damage packet will no longer be sent. The death packet will handle the final damage message(s).
* Consolidated the death packet creation code to a single method.
* Environmental deaths (falling, drowning, etc.) will no longer produce the pain and suffering message and will now generate the proper message for the type of death endured.
* Added comments, logging, and performed a general cleanup of the damage code, particularly when a death is involved.
* Damage shields should now bypass runes.
* Non-melee damage messages will no longer filter under Damage Shields.
* Divine Intervention/Death Pact will no longer fade on a failed rolled. The buff will remain until you either roll a success or die.
* Changed the success chance of DI/DP to be closer to the client's formula.
* DI will now heal NPCs for 100,000 HP.
* When zoning, players will now receive the message "soandso is now the leader of your group." instead of "You have joined the group."
* The out of range spell check that happens at the end of a cast will no longer generate interrupted messages. Instead, only the caster will see "Your target is out of range, get closer!" using the spell failure text category.
* Changed healing messages to use the spell chat category.
* Corrected some NPC spell messages to use default white text instead of spell.
* Players will no longer see what spell has been cured, and instead will see "Your target has been cured."
* Fixed multiple messages that were not correctly displaying for corpse summon spells.
* Addressed a rare zone crash I see locally. (Not clue if it's fixed or not, I'm not exactly sure what's causing it.)
* Removed the hardcoded zone_controller NPC as it was creating issues with encounters. The NPC is now found in the DB with ID 10. It will need to be given a spawnpoint in whichever zones it is to be used in.
* Call of the Hero will now despawn the target's summoned pet and fade charm on their charmed pets.
* If the target of CoH is within 100 coords of the caster, aggro will not be cleared and the caster may draw beneficial aggro.
* Randomized the zone-in locs of ports slightly to help prevent players from incorrectly falling to death. Please note: This does not prevent falling to your death while encumbered. The more weight you have, the more likely you are to fall while zoning.
* AE Mem Blur spells will no longer cause beneficial aggro.
* Added some logic I overlooked in the Divine Intervention rewrite.
* Bard pulses will no longer stick on targets who are invulnerable.
* Corrected the Bard stacking rules regarding spells and songs that are different types (Beneficial vs Detrimental.) This allows as an example Guardian Rhythms and Tashania to stack.
* Mobs buffed with Divine Aura will now be picked last when a NPC chooses who it will attack each swing.
* Mez spells with a Mem Blur component will have the Mem Blur effect skipped if the target is already debuffed with the same Mez spell. If a different Mez is cast, any Mem Blur component will be rolled as normal.
* Spells that use a stack blocker are now properly handled in the Bard stacking rules.
* NPCs that are immune or are too high in level for a charm or mez spell will now properly resist it.
* Healing a charmed pet will no longer create beneficial aggro.
* Minimum faction value cap is now -2000 instead of -3000.
* Bard song server filters should now match the client's filters.
* Bards will no longer see the "Your spell did not take hold" message when detrimental AE songs are cast and there are nearby players. Instead, the player target will receive a protected message.
* Spin stuns on NPCs will now have a random chance to break early. Whirl till you Hurl and Dyn`s Dizzying Draught have a higher chance to break.
* Corrected an issue causing the stun component of a spin stun to drop without fading the debuff.
Haynar
* Improved movement of mobs/pets over short distances, so they no longer look choppy sometimes while moving.
* Fixed an error with the delta position translations from the client, which was not accounting for the (+/-) correctly.
* Improved the loiter logic when a mob resumes moving, associated with feign death. Mobs should not linger every single time and will resume movement after they start facing their desired direction.
* Fixed an issue with rotations when mobs return to their guard position. They should rotate smoother until they are facing their guard heading.
* For NPCs, the delay in moving following loss of engagement, should no longer reset for other loss of aggro methods, such as coh, mez/memblur. The total delay is maintained so that even for FD, it does not reset after one attempt unless it has all been used up.
* Fixed an issue when a client's charm on an NPC breaks, causing their target to get corrupted.
* Snared pets will follow their owners a little better, rather than being snared to a stop, when they hit the distance they would switch to walking.
Database:
Robregen
* Pet should now duel wield without weapons.
* Added a missing flavor text to Froggy in Sebilis
* Goblin Drunkard in Sol A should now cast spells and a pet.
Robregen / Haynar
* added Various possible spawnpoints for Quillmane/PH found on live
* shorten the respawntime of trash roaming mobs in South Karana to 36 seconds.
Misc:
Haynar
* added pathfile for Runnyeye.
6-3-2016 (hotfix)
Database:
Robregen
* fixed Pets not being able to equip weapons
* Shorten the respawntimer for Sarnak Courier / PH in Lake of Ill omen.
* Grand Herbalist in Chardok should now always drop a loot.
* Change PH / Death Beetle to one spawn instead of a various spawnpoint in Soldungb.
6-1-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Eye of Zomm/Tallon can now open doors again.
* Spells will now finish casting when they could not take hold on the target. (Consuming mana, triggering cooldown, etc.)
* If the attacker is no longer valid (dead, LD) when the damage packet is being constructed, we will now have the defender attack themself, instead of letting the client use pain and suffering. This will produce more predictable damage output.
* Excluded generic factions from counting towards flee ally count. (Indifferent, animal, KOS, noob monster) These NPCs can still be counted if their race matches the NPC about to flee.
* Eye of Zomm will now spawn in front of the caster.
* Quest NPCs will now decline hand-ins if their faction with the player is threateningly or scowling.
* Renamed special attacks SPECATK_QUAD to INNATE_DUAL_WIELD and INNATE_DUAL_WIELD to DO_NOT_EQUIP based on the content developers usage.
* Implemented DO_NOT_EQUIP NPC special attack. If set, the NPC will never equip any items, including from their loottable or ones handed to them. The items will be placed in the general slot of their loot inventory.
* Fixed an issue causing AE pacify spells to not check level or immunity of the targets.
* Mule character limit is not configurable by rule World:MuleToonLimit. It defaults to 8.
* Moved the defensive avoidance skillup checks while invul to the correct class :I
* NPCs will now only block KOS handins if the BAD_FACTION_BLOCK_HANDIN special ability is set.
* Multiple key groups will now display properly when /key is used.
* Sentinel will no longer create a string error.
* NPCs will no longer enrage while fleeing, unless they are also rooted.
* Call of the Hero can now be cast on players in a different map region (water vs land.)
* The target of /makeleader no longer needs to be in the same zone.
* Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the group leader to not be set or updated in zones they are not in.
* Merchants will now be capped at 767 items per slot. If you sell items that exceed that limit, you will still recieve coin for them but they will be immediately deleted and not able to be purchased back.
* Rewrote /pet who leader logic as it was completely broken.
* /pet feign now requires the Feigned Minion AA and uses rank to determine the chance of success (25/50/75.) Pet feign likely needs to be implemented in the code at a later time.
* Added a check to cancel a merchant transaction if the merchant tries to send a 0 quantity stacked item to the client.
* Rewrote keyring to no longer depend on zone flags. Keyring information will now be loaded from the new keyring_data database table.
* Quick description of the new table (which can be edited under the Server tab of the editor):
~ key_item: The ItemID of the key.
~ key_name: How the key will display when the /key command is used. Most use the item name, some like frozenshadow do not.
~ zoneid: The zone the key is used in, NOT the destination zone.
~ stage: Used to determine what step you have in tiered zones like frozenshadow. Most keys will just use 0 for this.
~ After the new key is inserted in the new table and the keyitem column is set in doors, you can complete the keyring setup by either:
1. Toggling the nokeyring option under the specific door to "no" in the editor and let the server handle it.
OR
2. You can use the keyring methods in lua (with nokeyring left as yes) to manually unlock/port/whatever else you want to do.
-- I have converted all existing keys to the new system. Player keyring data is unaffected, and their zone_flags can be deleted.
Torven
* The Defense skill made to only have a chance to skill up when the defender successfully rolls a miss.
* Spells cast on 'belly caster' NPCs will now do 0 hate if casted from out of melee range if the spell is not unresistable.
* Defense skill raises moved to AvoidanceCheck()
* The divisor in Mob:GetMitigation has been removed as the database has been mass edited to have more compatible AC values.
Database:
Robregen
* VP wurms should now be paci-able
* Spiders in East Karana will now dominate the hilltops.
* VP Guardians should now be mezzable.
* Replace the roamboxes in Steamfonts with grids to fix an issue with mobs falling below the world.
* Replace the roamboxes with grids for Firiona Drixies in Firiona Vie so they should no longer fall below the world.
* fixed a stacking issue with Worked Silver Chain and Gem Studded Chain
Torven
* Kithicor Dark Elves now have the 'Not Loitering' flag applied.
* Veeshan's Peak dragons will now only cast charm on their current targets.
Misc
Haynar
* Updated path files for the following zones: warrens, crystal, skyshrine, necropolis,and droga
* Added new path files for Sirens, mischiefplane, acrylia cavern, caves and tunnels in dreadlands, and rockhopper caves in dawnshroud peaks.
5-18-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Charmed vendors can no longer be browsed.
* NPCs will no longer be affected by Levitate or See Invisible spells. (The spell will take hold but have no effect.)
* Corrected the success formula for Memory Blur spells. (Thanks Ravenwing and Darchon for the formulas!)
* The client will no longer apply more damage than it should on melee hits.
* Added the ability to add an item to the cursor queue without sending a packet to the client. This should help prevent desyncs caused by items being in a different order on the server and client's respective queues. This also allows us to control the cursor queue "rules" server side, and have GMs bypass them if need be.
* This change fixes the desync that happens when multiple items are handed back as a result of a tradeskill, and should help to bullet proof other cases where the cursor queue is used (forage, spell summons, #si for GMs)
* Pushing items to the cursor during trades and when no other slot is available in general was not changed in this commit.
* Added Lua export for PushItemOnCursorWithoutQueue
* Change how rules are loaded and inherit values - When a custom ruleset is loaded, it will always first look for a value present in the ruleset id for that zone, when it is not present, it will load from the default ruleset instead of immediately falling back to the source value. This is to eliminate the excessive amount of duplicate entries in the rule_values tables (credit to Akkadius)
* Procs will no longer occur while Divine Aura is active.
* Stuns will no longer take affect when a NPC is mezzed. Pre-existing stuns will fade when the Mez wears off.
* Dispels can now be cast on other players in PVP situations.
* Single target buffs will now overwrite the group version of the buff and vice versa provided the caster's level is equal or greater than the original caster's level. If it is not, it will be blocked in both cases.
* Added KILLED emote type, which causes the NPC that gets the final hit on any other entity to emote. KILLEDNPC for NPC slays and KILLEDPC for PC slays are unaffected by this and will continue to work. However, using either combined with KILLED will result in a double message.
* Removed #itemsearch alias "search" since it was ambiguous. #itemsearch, #finditem, or #fi all still work.
* Added HPRatio to #showstats.
* Added the remaining boat NPCID defines in preparation of a future commit.
* Added IsQuestTrigger() to determine if a NPC is an invisible quest trigger. Unused at present, reserved for future use.
* Damage Shields will no longer have reduced damage in PVP.
* Added sort_order to npc_faction_entries, so the order faction hits appear in game can be changed.
* Fixed a zone crash in the emote code.
* If all the damage was done to a NPC using a damage shield, faction hits will no longer occur.
* Changed the race/bodytype of zone_controller to match Haynar's findings and to match the triggers in the DB.
* Removed IsQuestTrigger() as it's no longer necessary.
* Added mule exception for IP limit.
* Attempting to open a door with the wrong key will now give the proper message.
* Added NO_LOITERING special attack, which forces an NPC to immediately begin pathing/return home after losing aggro.
* Clicky items with 0 casttime and 0 recast delay will no longer suffer a 400 millisecond cooldown.
* Removed the extra message casters receive when they heal another character.
* Fixed the issue causing the healed message to not show up for the target on Heals and Life Taps. HoT spells have been excluded from this.
* When a caster casts an exceptional heal, they will now see two exceptional messages. One for them, and one everybody else sees.
* Corrected Mez overwriting rules.
* Stacking rules regarding detrimental songs and detrimental spells will now work better.
------------------------------
Eye of Zomm changes and fixes:
------------------------------
> Players can now chat, and cast spells/songs with the eye up.
> The eye is now attackable and killable by all players, and will leave a corpse and grant 1 point of XP.
> The eye will no longer assist the caster after the buff has been clicked off.
> The server is now properly keeping track of the eye's current location.
--------------
Flee changes
--------------
> Added a new NPC special attacks for flee:
> ALWAYS_FLEE_LOW_CON: Causes a NPC to always flee once they reach the HP threshold if they are green to top hate.
> FLEE_PERCENT_CON: Causes NPCs to flee at 50% when they are deep green to top hate. Note: NPCs over level 18 will essentially ignore this special attack as IsDeepGreen() was changed to max out at level 18 when compared to a entity that is level 65.
> Removed Combat:UseConForFleeRatio as it is now handled by the special attack above.
> Corrected the issue causing a NPC to flee at the percent below the one desired. Changed the default value of Combat:FleeHPRatio to 20 (from 21) as a result.
> Changed #fleeinfo to handle the new variables. Altered GetFleeRatio() to optionally accept a Mob object instead of using top hate in order to allow #fleeinfo to print out the percentage the NPC target will run at. GetFleeRatio() in normal flee situations will continue to use top hate.
More changes based on feedback from Torven:
> Mobs that are level 18 or lower and green to top hate will now always run at 50%.
> Removed special logic regarding yellow cons, they will now use the normal percentage calculation. Reds will now always run at a lower percent.
> The FLEE_PERCENT special attack will now ignore any special rules. The NPC will always run at whatever that is set at.
> Removed IsDeepGreen() as it is no longer necessary.
> Please note: We know this still isn't perfect, and that there are many exceptions on Live (and presumably AK.) But hopefully, this should get us closer to where we need to be.

* Made adjustments to fizzle rates. Everyone should fizzle less, especially hybrids.
* Added support for different invis types (invis vs animals, invis vs undead) to be sent with spawn packets.

5-4-2016
hotfix:
Cavedude
* Changed /who all count loop to match how it was written before. (No functionality additions were lost in this commit
Code:
Cavedude
* Added ChangeDespawn() to lua_spawn.cpp This allows content developers to change the despawn type (and if used) the despawn_timer.
* Corrected an issue causing /consent to not work until the consented player zones.
* /consent will no longer send a message to the consented player if the consenter has no corpses.
* DOT spells like Engulfing Darkness will now display a spell message.
* Prevented an extra loop from running when a player dies.
* Added ignore_despawn column to npc_types to have NPCs ignore the despawn column in spawngroup.
* /who all will now iterate the client list in reverse order, so newer players will appear on the top of the list.
* Added rules RuleI(World, WhoListLimit) and RuleB(AlKabor, NoMaxWhoGuild) to /who all. WhoListLimit allows us to change the list limit (defaults to 20.) NoMaxWhoGuild allows players to see a non-truncated /who all guild# list. (It's possible the limit is in place to prevent a client crash - this should be tested on Dev.)
* Cleaned up the code for /who all so it it is easier to read. Added some comments, and some strings as defines as well.
* Fixed a few issues dealing with pet aggro from DOTs and damage shields.
* Pets will now aggro when most detrimental spells are cast on their master.
* Buffs and debuffs should now choose a slot that syncs with the client's internal rules when overwriting existing spells.
* When overwriting, the yellow spell fade message will now only display when a detrimental spell overwrites a different detrimental spell.
* Corrected the stacking rule when the same detrimental spell is cast on a NPC by two players.

* Added a check to prevent an item's quantity from going negative when purchased by a player on the server.
* When a permanent merchant inventory item is sold out (Crow's Brew for example) the remaining items will move up a slot the next time the merchant window is opened.
* Changed the order of merchant inventory logging to reflect these changes and to make more sense.
* Stackable items in Bazaar merchant lists will now display with 1 charge.
* Stuns will now interrupt Bard pulses.
* PVP will no longer be hardcoded in the entire arena zone.

* Dying due to Pain in Suffering while in a duel or in PVP will now set the proper killedby value.
* Enrage will now be checked when damage is done on NPCs who enrage, instead of on the AI timer for all NPCs. This should improve the accuracy of the enrage percentage.
* Desyncs should be greatly reduced when two or more items are handed back as a result of a tradeskill combine (but this is not completely fixed.)
* Removed the salvage code.
* Food/drink consumption will no longer halt in Bazaar.
* Stackable items will now be combined into a single slot on Bazaar merchants.
* More changes to spell messages to correct Earthcall.
Haynar
* Updated pathing to prevent mobs from bouncing in roamboxes.
* Fixed an issue where mobs won't always rotate back to their guard heading correctly.
* Added some pathing improvements to help prevent mobs getting stuck in loops.
* Mobs fleeing or feared in zones like frozenshadow, with distinct pathing areas, will now find fear points within their pathing area. This prevents them from running through walls running for a random node that is not connected.
Torven
* Newly aggro NPCs that aggro by poximity to hostile entities will now add all entities (players and NPCs) within the aggro range to the hate list simultaneously instead of only one.
* Unresponsive NPC fix.
* New stuns on already stunned clients are now ignored.
* Stuns casted on clients now ignore any stun level cap, which now only apply to NPCs.

I apologized for shutting the server down immediately instead of 10 minutes warning . My mistake.
4-20-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Removed RestRegen code as our client does not support it.

* Changed several messges using MT_SpellFailure to use CC_User_SpellFailure to be more uniform.
* Summon Companion will no longer summon pets that appear on another NPC's hatelist.
* Pets that are engaged will now add entities that attack their master to their hatelist. (Previously, they were not adding anything to their hatelist while engaged unless they were directly attacked.)
* Added message when Summon Companion fails due to the pet having aggro.
* Removed the engaged and hate checks from the flee ally count.
* NPCs that are deep green to top hate will now flee if able. (We can tweak this one if it doesn't seem right.)
* /consent will now work on any offline character, even if they don't yet exist.
* Rewrote the consent packet logic and added some comments.
* Regen rewrite:
--------------------------------------------------
--- Rewrote HP regen formula to match the client.
--- Rewrote mana regen formula (Thanks to Ravenwing and guildmate)
--- As a result of the above, Bard mana regen is now a fixed value (with level bonuses) instead of being based on meditate skill.
--- HP and mana regen will now take level, item, spell, and AA bonuses into account even when hungry/thirsty.
--- Classes that do not get mana will no longer calculate mana regen (this includes low level hybrids.)
--- Change endurance regeneration to send fewer packets. It now works closer to the behavior seen in packet collects from Al'Kabor.
--- Being either hungry or thirsty will now lower/stop mana and hp regen and stop endurance regen. This is how the client works, and due to the other changes in this commit the server must now match to prevent falling out of sync.
--- Rewrote code that causes endurance to drop when hungry/thristy to cause smoother updates.
--- Endurance updates will no longer occur when endurance has not changed.
--- Implemented STR/AGI/DEX penalties when endurance is low.
--- Added rule AlKabor:NPCsSendHPUpdatesPerTic. When true, NPCs will send HP updates to players per tick or when targeted instead of real time. This is correct behavior for Al'Kabor, but probably not desired. This rule is more for preservation. Defaults to false.
--- Added Regen logsys category, SQL handled by world automagically.
--- Added #showregen command to provide details about a player's regeneration.
---------------------------------------------------
Haynar
* Fixed a pathing bug where mobs/pets could get stuck, when they can't find a node route to their destination.
* Fixed a hate list issue with scripts, that was inadvertently clearing the hate list when it was not desired.
* Updated some position rounding for mob movements.
Torven
* Strength modifiers will now adjust NPC offense.
* Agility modifiers will now adjust NPC avoidance.
* NPC offense, mitigation, avoidance, and to-hit calcs have been slightly adjusted to be more accurate.
* Spells with IDs 859 to 1023 have been hardcoded to be uninterruptable. This was discovered in a client decompile by Demonstar55. (these spells are stuff like drake breath and raid boss AoEs)
Robregen
* Added IsMobSpawnedBySpawnID function to lua (thanks Cavedude)
Database:
Robregen
* Added a missing faction for a soulsipper in Emerald Jungle.
* Added a missing see ivu for a drolvarg pawbuster in Karnor's Castle.

4-6-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Charmed NPCs can no longer summon.
* Fixed the error message when an item is sold to a full merchant caused by the recent bazaar changes.
* Charmed NPCs will no longer flurry or rampage.
* Damage spells will no longer produce double messages.
* Player casters and targets of spells will now always see the spell message regardless of filter or range.
* Added and replaced IsCharmed() with IsCharmedPet(). IsCharmed() by itself will return true for all NPCs, because the default typeofpet is 3. IsCharmedPet() does the IsPet() for us to avoid this issue.
* Debuffs will no longer fade on players when they charm the NPC that cast the debuffs.
* Added rule AlKabor:HighLvlCorpsesAlwaysSpawn to force NPCs 55 and over to always leave a corpse. Default is disabled until we can work out the remaining faction wars issues.
* Clicking on a NPC will now force an HP update. This "fixes" NPCs that are in a bugged (-HP) state immediately which is what happened on Al'Kabor in this situation.
* Charmed NPCs and their NPC spell targets will now have debuffs faded when the charm wears off to further prevent faction wars. Players and their spells are unaffected by this.
* NPC pets will now stay spawned and continue to attack until their hatelist is empty when their master dies or is charmed.
* Moved where hate is added to the pet when its master is attacked until after the master has checked to see if it is dead. This will cause pets to poof if their master dies in a single hit and nothing else is on the hate list.
* Added rule Character:SacrificeCorpseDepop if true, new empty sacrificed corpses will have their decay timer set to 3 minutes and rez timer disabled in pok, nexus, and bazaar. (Defaults to false)
* Some minor code support for the recent corrections made to items.lua.
* /tgb should now always hit the caster as well as the target group.
* If a player changes targets during the casting of a group spell, the spell will no longer land on the new target and instead will use the original target.
* Added DepopPet() to the client deconstructor to hopefully prevent pets from staying up forever in a couple different cases.
* Added some additional checks when charm wears off of a player's summoned pet to make sure the player is still in a valid state to relcaim ownership of the pet. If the checks fail, the pet will depop.
* If a damage shield deals all of the damage to a NPC, the player will no longer receive XP and the NPC won't leave a corpse (unless the level 55+ rule is enabled.)
* A minor adjustment to how damage shield damage is counted to avoid overlap.
* NPCs will no longer flee if they have allies nearby that are mezzed or feared.
Haynar
* Fixed pathing for pets and mobs getting stuck.
* Pathing fixes for pets following
* Adding raid members will no longer clear the list of looters on everyone in the raid.
* Updated some pathing that would cause mobs to get stuck sometimes.
* Added size compensation to hazard checks, so very large mobs like giants, are not stuck trying to step over a pebble.
* Fixed a group bug, where if you do not accept an invite to a group (or decline) and zone, then you are unable to be invited to other groups.
* Changed where packets are caught up on zoning. This should help not bug out groups.
* Changed how its determined which mobs/clients get spawn packets sent to clients, to help prevent some clients not appearing when zoning together.
Database:
Robregen
* Sarnak Casters in Chardok should no longer see invisible.

Haynar

3-23-2016
Code:
Cavedude
* Rewrote how trader items are loaded. Changed the logic performed in the initial loop and added some additional sanity checks. This should help to prevent bogus or no drop items from being added to a trader's item list erroneously especially in the last couple of slots. This will also help to keep better track of items when they are moved around in the satchel while the trader window is up.
* Traders will no longer need to price all their items or remove no drop items from their satchels before starting trader mode. The server will simply skip over those items, if the client sends them.
* Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the item in the last slot to not show to buyers, or to display as a bogus item.
* Rewrote the logic for adding a item while trader mode is running. This was required since we no longer require all items to have a price beforehand. This also fixed a bug that would allow a trader to put a no drop or bogus item up for sale.
* Replaced references of SerialNumber which our client doesn't use with inventory SlotID. This will help to ensure the proper item is being worked with across the board in the bazaar system, particularly stackable items.
* Changed the item number variable to int16 in bazaar searches, in case a buyer has more than 255 of a given stackable item.
* Fixed an issue where the bazaaar search would occasional "split" a stackable item into several items.
* Lots of general cleanup and adding/changes to bazaar logging.
* Fixed a bug with moving items to a corpse that created issues with soulbound bags. (GM only)
* Changed the error handling of the above situation to attempt to correct the problem on the fly, instead of giving up. (GM only)
* NPCs will now try to flee at regular intervals once they are below the HP threshold.
* Bazaar search for All Effects, Haste, and Flowing Thought will now work properly.
* +mana items will no longer update current mana when equipped or removed.

3-16-2016
Code:
Cavedude

* Changes to the Nexus transport system to be more accurate visually.

* The item count will now display on Bazaar searches
* Players will now be stripped of levitation spells when entering trader mode. Levitation spells will now also be blocked when cast on a Trader.
* Fixed an erroneous double packet sent when a player buys an item from a trader.
* Fixed an issue with damage shield stacking between a spell and a song.
* Made the character creation process a bit cleaner and cleaned up the world logs a bit.
* Added encounter column to npc_types. This forces the NPC to skip the internal check done when an item is handed to them and either eats the item, or lets lua handle it.This column should be set to 1 for any NPC that accepts a hand-in as part of an encounter script. It is not needed for normal quest NPCs.
Haynar

* Raid group leaders can no longer ungroup people from different groups within their raid.
* Summon spells will no longer say you are distracted if you have an item on the cursor. The client cursor will not allow summoning multiple items that are the same, so mana and any needed reagents will be consumed. You have been warned.
* Bard Group songs in a raid, will now have a range check to group members.
* Pathing fix for mobs cutting corners.
Robregen

/ooc and /auction is being disabled to stress test Universal Chat Server.
See notes at bottom for Raid Information
Code:
Cavedude
* Moved Nexus portal functionality from lua to server code. This has proven to be faster and more reliable.
* The NPCIDs of the various Nexus NPCs (A_Mystic_Voice, The_Norrath_Spires, the Scions, etc.) are all hardcoded in the code, so that we can access them to cast spells or send signals. They cannot be changed in the DB, or the system will break!

* Zones that use the Nexus portal system will not idle when empty when the rule is enabled.
* Player corpses will now retain any illusion the player had on them at the time of death.
* Implemented raid XP.
* Updated special bind area rules to use coords found in the client. Thanks demonstar55 for the decompile!

* Fixed an issue with clicky items using the wrong level for their formulas.
* Fixed an issue where some skills could incorrectly appear on a trainer's list.
* Shadowknight and Paladin epics will now do bash damage.

~~ The buyer's client will now correctly update when a seller changes the price or adds an item.
~~ Added a new rule AlKabor:AllowPriceIncWhileBrowsing. When false, a trader cannot increase the price of an item while another player is browsing their wares. (Defaults to true.)
~~ Updated the bazaar.map. PVP will now work in the arena area (DB change also made for this fix.)
~~ Removed bazaar.path as it is meant for the newer version of the zone.
~~ Bazaar traders can now be used by multiple players simultaneously.
~~ Trader mode will now end if the trader goes LD.

* The guild motd will only be sent when intially logging in, not every time you zone.
* Fixed an issue where players will move slightly on logging in, when their x or y coordinates are negative.

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.

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.
  • NPCs will no longer remember feigned players after Mem Blur has successfully been cast on them. This combined with the above change should hopefully completely fix this issue.
  • Corrected the issue causing Brusco`s Bombastic Bellow to require a component.

  • Corrected an issue causing bag weight to not be calculated correctly server side.
  • 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.

  • Portal pads will no longer "open" or "close".
  • Minor changes to some Lua methods required by the last quest commit.
  • Removed the lua call depop_all() because it wouldn't do anything as written. Only depop_all(npcid) is being used in Lua scripts, which works fine.
  • Corrected how Defensive Discipline is calculated.
  • Air remaining will now be saved when camping/zoning.
  • Improved the accuracy of determining if a player is in water for swimming skillups when they are at the ocean floor.

  • Readjusted some pricing on a few paineel steel armors.
  • Removed the recipe for Gem-studded Tower Shield as well as the item itself.

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.

Torven

  • Ring of Vulak: Vulak will no longer poof on kill.
  • Ring of Vulak: 11-splitters now split 2x, 2x, 1x, 0x. This means that no more than 4 children can be spawned at once per parent.

  • Moved PERMAROOT_FLEE to DESTRUCTIBLE_OBJECT's position since that isn't used.
  • 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. It can also force a NPC to equip a bow or other ranged weapon instead of primary/secondary items. Once an item is forced into a slot, items added later will not override it.
  • Ranged items will now display properly in-game for NPCs.
  • Fixed an issue causing NPCs to not equip ammo items.
  • Made several changes to AddLootDrop() to reduce memory usage and make the code easier to read.

  • Fixed some odd behavior that occurred when a NPC has duplicate items and they have their pockets picked.

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.

4-19-2017 (hotfix)

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.

Database: Robregen

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".

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.

Script: Robregen

  • Fixed the script for The Button Girl that was not responding to hail.

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

  • Added a check for a potential buffer overflow error with TCP communications.

  • Optimized /consent a bit to hopefully prevent an issue causing consent to be denied when it shouldn't be.

Torven

  • 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!

Haynar

  • Fixed an issue where an aggro'd mob on a grid will not use pathing to return to their pathing.
  • 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.

  • Corrected an issue causing coin only trades to not be logged correctly.
  • Corrected a potential crash in Group::SplitMoney().
  • Non-pet NPCs will now use their weapon's attack delay if it is lower than their innate delay.

Haynar

  • Added more sanity checks, to prevent UCS crashes from Stale client connections
  • Fixed an issue where mobs will try to face their target while fleeing. They can still hit stuff in front of them while fleeing, but they will no longer try to face their target and will stay pointed towards their ultimate destination.
  • Changed how groups are left in a raid, to help fix bugged groups when a player goes LD.
  • Fixed an issue with mobs charmed while in flee mode, so they will respond correctly to commands.
  • Inviting someone already in a group should now provide the appropriate feedback to the inviter that they are already grouped.
  • Added fixes for rooted mobs ghosting under certain conditions.

Torven

  • The resist curve in PvP now duplicates the non-linear curve discovered from PvP resist parses for resists 0-200.
  • The resist cap in PvP is now 196. This means that all-or-noting spells now have a 2% chance to land when the target has a resist value of 196 or greater. DD spells will land for about 1/3rd damage on average before the PvP reduction.
  • Spell damage in PvP now scales linearly from 91% at level 1 to a flat 62% at level 50+.
  • Melee and Archery damage is no longer reduced in PvP.

Code: Haynar

  • UCS Crash Fix for a stream closed by the client.
  • Added some sanity checks and reordered deletion of timed out entities in HateList::GetTop() to help prevent crashes.

12-16-2016 (Hotfix)

Code: Haynar

  • Fixed an issue with Universal Chat Service (UCS) allowing the stream to close before it is ready, causing a potential UCS crash.
  • 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.

Haynar

  • UCS fixes to use a consistent method of stream interface deletions.
  • Netcode fixes - Changed how resend are flagged for packets.
  • Changed forced disconnect for desynced clients.
  • Fixed an issue with going LD, bugging groups in raids.

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.

Database: Robregen

  • Chuckles the Great in plane of mischief should now corpse camp.
  • non humanoid illusion should now be KOS to the denizen of mischief and not be kos to KOS mischief NPC.

  • Rolling over arq responses in netcode should be more reliable.
  • Fixed an issue with packet resend code, so it will limit resend frequencies better. It was not actually limiting resends and was contributing to desyncs.
  • Fixed an uninitialized variable associated with arq response window.

12-2-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

  • Fixed the issue causing /consent to only work for the last player consented.

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.

Database: Robregen

  • Reduced the spawntimer for Eldrig the Old / PH to 13 minites.

  • Fixed the bug introduced causing non-ATK illusions to block ATK buffs.
  • 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.

Database: Robregen

  • Adjust Frogloks of Guk faction to be more livelike (Credit to haynar with helping out with DE factions)

  • illusions for Zlandicar faction should no longer be useable.

  • Ambassador K'Ryn / Bouncer Gronk in Oggok should now spawn / despawn at the appropiate time.

Code: Cavedude

  • Fixed the recently introduced issue causing NPCs to not immediately switch targets when a player leaves combat range.
  • Reduced the restrictions used to determine when a swimming skillup should occur.
  • Corrected the issues causing food and drink items to be out of sync with the client.
  • Split UpdateItemHP() into two methods to prevent spaghetti code.
  • The HP calculation when stamina is greater than 255 is now much closer to the client's values.
  • When runes are stacked, they will now use the effect slot to determine which one is used first, instead of buff slot. (Highest slot is used first.)
  • Fixed a few issues with Monster Summoning that could cause a pet to spawn with invalid appearance values leading to problems shrinking and other issues.
  • 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.
  • Adding new logsys category "Death" and changed logging in both NPC::Death() and Client::Death() to use it. Added additional logging to NPC::Death().
  • Corrected an issue that could cause environmental player deaths to be handled incorrectly and result in an incorrect message.
  • 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.
  • Removed an unnecessary loop that occurred when the data to log player_npc_kill_log was being gathered.
  • Queryserv will now perform one query per group/raid when logging player_npc_kill_log, instead of one per player.
  • Added the type of death to player_killed_by_log and corrected the output to the killer name field when there was no killer.
  • 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.

Haynar

  • 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.

10-21-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

  • AA hotkeys will now be reset when an activated ability fails to finish its cast.
  • AA timers are now sent when an AA is purchased. This should prevent newly purchased hotkeys from being disabled.

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

  • Exported ForceRepop to lua, in the NPC class. It can be used to repop the current NPC (e.self:ForceRepop()) or another NPC.
  • NPCs that control a proximity say will now be reloaded after the zone has finished loading everything else. Hopefully, this fixes the issue that sometimes causes proximity say to not work until a #repop is done.

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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

Code: Cavedude

  • Revert "Charm should now break as soon as the owner zones, to prevent kill steals by the former pet and possibly faction wars." -- an attempt to fix an elusive crash.

7-17-2106 (hotfix) The year is 2106 and cavedude still needs beer

Code: Cavedude

  • Removed all references to NPCTypedata_ours as it was created, and never accessed. It was causing a zone crash when deleted in the NPC destructor, so hopefully that will be fixed.

Script: Robregen

  • Fixed the "Cure for Lempeck Hargrin" quest where it was not giving reward.

7-13-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Treeform will no longer be faded immediately after casting.
  • Expendable and potion items will no longer have a level restriction to use.
  • Elevator/Lift type doors will now function without requiring multiple clicks.
  • Beneficial spells will no longer break sneak and hide.
  • Damage Shields will activate on hits where the damage is completely absorbed by a rune.
  • Gating within the same zone will no longer cause you to lose your pet.
  • Groups spells with TGB on will now target the caster if the original target is out of range, or is not a client.
  • Implemented OP_CancelSneakHide.
  • /guildstatus will now work on yourself.
  • Cleaned up the /split handle some, and added the correct messages.
  • Gravity Flux type spells will now work properly.
  • Gravity Flux will no longer send an extra action packet.
  • Fixed an issue causing expendable items to have 0 cast time.
  • Shrink spells will now be capped at Gnome height. Growth spells will be capped at Ogre height.
  • Shrink will now require the correct number of casts to get to minimum size.
  • Shrink will no longer affect entities size 20 or higher.
  • NPCs on roamboxes or grids with no delay on the first waypoint will no longer pause before starting to path.
  • Corrected an issue causing Minor Illusion and Treeform to not show up correct for new players in the zone.
  • Corrected the chance of Feign Death spells with a base value of 1 in the database.
  • Removed mod_functions.cpp and the associated calls.
  • Fixed aggro which was broken by the mod removal.
  • Fixed an issue causing an old group member to rejoin the group after zoning.
  • Accepting a group invite after the group is already full will no longer prevent the client from joining another group.
  • Speaking in a language will now be sent to group members in other zones.
  • Mobs that were blinded were being included in every use of IsFeared() which was bad. Blinded mobs can still cast spells when in melee range. The original fear code had no blind rolled into it, I added that. This was an overright. I changed the macro to use bonues and fleemode instead of looking at curfp. Testing looks good to me. (cherry picked From EQEmu credit to Paul Coene)
  • SE_IllusionPersistence affects self only (Cherry picked from EQEmu - Credit to Demonstar)
  • Fix illusions on zone (Cherry picked from EQEmu - Credit to Demonstar)
  • Fixed a zone crash in AE spell logging.
  • Invisible spells will no longer flash when they fade early.
  • Bind Sight will now be faded when an illusion fades.
  • When a player death occurs during a trade, any items in that player's trade queue will now directly go to the corpse to prevent item loss.
  • Increased the default decay time for items dropped to the ground due to being full to 6 hours.
  • Client initiated deaths will no longer generate duplicated messages.
  • Removing an item that has more HP than your base max will no longer kill you, assuming the difference between your current HP and your max HP with the item wasn't more than your total HP without it. (Eg: You have 32 HP, you equip an item with 50 HP, making your total 82 HP. If you get hit for 35 HP and remove the item, you will die/go unconscious because 35 is greater than 32. However, if you are only hit for 31 and you take it off, you will survive with 1 HP left.)
  • Fixed some potential zone crashes and altered some logging for trading.
  • Players that die during a trade who do not leave a corpse will now cancel the trade before the death packet creation. This ensures the trade queue items are returned to the player, or dropped to the ground properly if the player has become "full" due to shifting items around. (This is mainly an issue with bags, since normal items will just go to your first open slot.)
  • The client will now handle death due to a DOT tic, this will prevent double messages.
  • The client will now also handle deaths caused by damaging yourself.
  • Changed the logic regarding death to a DOT to accomodate NPCs.

Haynar

  • Updated z_offset calcs for fixed size races.

  • Mastery AAs for tradeskills other than Jewelcrafting and Alchemy removed. (Poison Mastery not yet implemented)
  • The tradeskill combine fail chance reduction beyond the last 5% has been removed, as it was a July 2003 addition. All combines now have a 5% minimum chance to fail regardless of crafter skill.
  • The 5% minimum chance to fail is now applied after mastery AAs are considered.
  • Added the increased chance of a skillup for tradeskills when skill <= 15.

  • Updated the Bard stacking rules to correctly handle movement speed buffs and debuffs.
  • "You cannot see your target." when casting a spell will no longer generate interrupted messages for players around the caster.
  • Sacrifice and DOTs will now produce the proper messages on death.
  • Rewrote Beg to no longer cause a client desync.
  • Changed the chance for a NPC to attack while begging and the coin type and amount on success to be based on the player's beg skill.

  • Fixed an issue causing controllable row boats to not update their position properly.
  • Bard pulses will now always do a resist check.
  • Renamed ResistSpell() to CheckResistSpell() to make its function more clear.

  • Changed AE spells with a target limit to default to 5 targets allowed. Damage spells are limited to 4, with the exception of the Al'Kabor line of spells.
  • AE Mez spells will now have a target limit.
  • Corrected an issue where the target would not count towards the limit for certain AE spells.
  • Casting a Mez spell on yourself will bypass the level cap check. You still have a chance to resist the spell.
  • Bard pulses will now be cancelled while on a boat.
  • The Stun, Charm, Pacify, and Mez family of spells will now only enforce the spell level limit when the caster is a player and the target is a NPC. Every other combination will not use a level limit.
  • Removed the rule Spells:NPCIgnoreBaseImmunity as it only served to create confusing logic.
  • Corrected an issue where Mez spells would sometimes be considered beneficial.
  • Prevented an unlikely situation where Harmony spells could use the wrong target to perform its casting checks.
  • Added a caster check to prevent a redundant spell resist message.
  • Spells will now set a recovery timer upon successful completion of a cast. This timer will be checked after a spell completes the casting phase. If the timer is not yet expired, the new spell will be interrupted.
  • Removed the 400 millisecond delay when using clickies with a cast time. Clickies are also exempt from the recovery timer.
  • Added a rule Spells:SpellRecoveryTimer to control how long the recovery timer is. It defaults to 2500 milliseconds.
  • When any Alliance type spell is cast, any faction bonuses caused by a previous cast will be removed.
  • All players in a zone will now receive door open packets by NPCs for the benefit of Eye of Zomm.
  • Fixed a spell slot desync issue that happened with specific buffs.
  • Treeform will now be faded server side when a player movement update is recieved. This is a workaround for the issue allowing Treeform to stick anywhere server side due to a lack of tree data in our map files.
  • Corrected the spell stacking rules regarding illusion spells.
  • Wolf Form spells will now use the correct texture.
  • Bind Wound will no longer force the target to stand.
  • Corrected the Bind Wound messages.
  • Corrected an issue causing the max heal percentage of Bind Wound to not be calculated correctly.
  • Added combat messages for Thunderkick, Silentfist, and Ashenhand disciplines.
  • Fixed an overflow found in the Monk disc reuse timers. Monks who were affected by this will see their discipline reuse timers drop considerably, so be sure to check.
  • Lowered the chance that spin stuns can break early. (This excludes Whirl till you hurl and Dyn`s Dizzying Draught - they remain broken.)
  • Charm should now break as soon as the owner zones, to prevent kill steals by the former pet and possibly faction wars.
  • Rez will now fade charm on your pet. The hatelist is cleared after the charm is faded, so the former pet will not have aggro.
  • Beneficial and Detrimental single target spells no longer use the Z coord in the server's range check.
  • Casting on a target who is standing on "ice" or "slime" and the caster is in a normal region or vice versa will now work properly.
  • Added NPC Special Ability to always leave a corpse if the deathblow was dealt by a client or a client's pet.
  • Added support code required for charmed NPCs with lua scripts to accept and equip items they do not require in their trade event.
  • NPCs will now use the correct damage messages after being disarmed.
  • Consolidated breaking sneak and hide to a single method. Replaced most of the raw packet creation for both with SendApperancePacket().
  • Sneak/Hide will now break properly when casting a spell, when a spell lands on a player, when a player resists a spell, when attacking, when attacked, and when an old world trap is clicked and the player either lacks the disarm skill, or the disarm attempt fails. (Many of these were already working, I just confirmed them.)
  • Resting a spell or being missed by a combat swing will cause the sneak button to "bug" if the player is not also hidden. The player will need to click the button to reset it. This quirk occurred on AK.
  • Fixed an issue causing the hide packet to not be sent out correctly for racial hide on failures.
  • Corrected an issue causing Sneak to sometimes incorrectly cancel hide, and to send out an invisible appearance packet instead of a sneak packet (copy/paste error?)
  • Rewrote Sense Traps to support old world traps (swinging axe, falling ceiling, etc) and to provide accurate messages.
  • Old world traps can now be disarmed by clicking on them, if you have the trap disarm skill.
  • Added more logging for sneak, hide, and traps.
  • Removed the cooldown timer that occurs when clickies are used.
  • Removed support of the RecastDelay item database column since no clicky item in the DB uses it. Also removed pTimerItemStart which is the associated timer.
  • Tradeskill skillups will now use the difficulty value from the database instead of the hardcoded values. (No values have been changed!)
  • At skill 190, the chance to succeed on a tradeskill skillup will correctly be 5%, instead of 5.99%.
  • Removed rule Skills:TradeskillSkillUpModifier. Difficulty can be changed per skill in the DB now.
  • Increased the difficulty cap for normal skillups to accommodate begging.
  • Bard pulses will no longer check for line of sight.
  • Skills that allow skillups from green cons (offense on damage shields) will no longer allow skillups if the NPC is green and level 18 or under.

Haynar

  • Bard instrument modifiers associated with buffs will now carry when zoning
  • Added code support for zoning out of airplane, to replace the zoner script. (This should fixed the issue with the occasional death when jumping off the islands.)
  • Fixed an issue with zoning that drops you to server select, under certain conditions.
  • Very high snares will no longer make running mobs stop. Walking or fleeing (feared) mobs can still be stopped by high snares.

  • adjust the following tradeskill:

-- Jewelcrafting, Fletching to 4 -- Baking, Brewing to 3 -- Tailoring, Smithing to 2

6-17-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

  • Changed the random location adjustment that happens when a port or spell is used to get its value from the random_loc column of the zone table. This allows us to disable it per zone (set to 0) or make the value bigger smaller as needed (default is -/+ 3)
  • Player location will no longer be adjusted for intrazone moves.
  • Fixed an issue that caused doors to save the adjusted coordinates the last player used, instead of rolling with the door's default coordinates.

6-15-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

  • Fixed a zone crash that happens when a player is damaged and there is no attacker.

6-15-2016

  • Corpses will now sink to the bottom in water.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused corpses to end up in the wrong location when they fell off a boat.
  • Rewrote /camp to fix an issue causing the player to leave their group when the camp is abandonded.
  • Removed the "soandso has left the zone" message players recieved when a group member zoned.
  • Moved a log message when a player leaves the group to a better spot to avoid spam and confusion.
  • Added accountid column to group_id. This is for the benefit of world so it can remove a member of a group after the client's variables are cleared.
  • Changed success in CheckIncreaseSkill() to use uint8, and added an enum for SKILLUP_SUCCESS and SKILLUP_FAILURE to make it less confusing and easier to read.
  • Damage and death packets will now be sent in the correct order. This corrects some invalid messages including most pain and suffering messages.
  • When death occurs on a combat swing, the final damage packet will no longer be sent. The death packet will handle the final damage message(s).
  • Consolidated the death packet creation code to a single method.
  • Environmental deaths (falling, drowning, etc.) will no longer produce the pain and suffering message and will now generate the proper message for the type of death endured.
  • Added comments, logging, and performed a general cleanup of the damage code, particularly when a death is involved.
  • Damage shields should now bypass runes.
  • Non-melee damage messages will no longer filter under Damage Shields.
  • Divine Intervention/Death Pact will no longer fade on a failed rolled. The buff will remain until you either roll a success or die.
  • Changed the success chance of DI/DP to be closer to the client's formula.
  • DI will now heal NPCs for 100,000 HP.
  • When zoning, players will now receive the message "soandso is now the leader of your group." instead of "You have joined the group."
  • The out of range spell check that happens at the end of a cast will no longer generate interrupted messages. Instead, only the caster will see "Your target is out of range, get closer!" using the spell failure text category.
  • Changed healing messages to use the spell chat category.
  • Corrected some NPC spell messages to use default white text instead of spell.
  • Players will no longer see what spell has been cured, and instead will see "Your target has been cured."
  • Fixed multiple messages that were not correctly displaying for corpse summon spells.
  • Addressed a rare zone crash I see locally. (Not clue if it's fixed or not, I'm not exactly sure what's causing it.)
  • Removed the hardcoded zone_controller NPC as it was creating issues with encounters. The NPC is now found in the DB with ID 10. It will need to be given a spawnpoint in whichever zones it is to be used in.
  • Call of the Hero will now despawn the target's summoned pet and fade charm on their charmed pets.
  • If the target of CoH is within 100 coords of the caster, aggro will not be cleared and the caster may draw beneficial aggro.
  • Randomized the zone-in locs of ports slightly to help prevent players from incorrectly falling to death. Please note: This does not prevent falling to your death while encumbered. The more weight you have, the more likely you are to fall while zoning.
  • AE Mem Blur spells will no longer cause beneficial aggro.
  • Added some logic I overlooked in the Divine Intervention rewrite.
  • Bard pulses will no longer stick on targets who are invulnerable.
  • Corrected the Bard stacking rules regarding spells and songs that are different types (Beneficial vs Detrimental.) This allows as an example Guardian Rhythms and Tashania to stack.
  • Mobs buffed with Divine Aura will now be picked last when a NPC chooses who it will attack each swing.
  • Mez spells with a Mem Blur component will have the Mem Blur effect skipped if the target is already debuffed with the same Mez spell. If a different Mez is cast, any Mem Blur component will be rolled as normal.
  • Spells that use a stack blocker are now properly handled in the Bard stacking rules.
  • NPCs that are immune or are too high in level for a charm or mez spell will now properly resist it.
  • Healing a charmed pet will no longer create beneficial aggro.
  • Minimum faction value cap is now -2000 instead of -3000.
  • Bard song server filters should now match the client's filters.
  • Bards will no longer see the "Your spell did not take hold" message when detrimental AE songs are cast and there are nearby players. Instead, the player target will receive a protected message.
  • Spin stuns on NPCs will now have a random chance to break early. Whirl till you Hurl and Dyn`s Dizzying Draught have a higher chance to break.
  • Corrected an issue causing the stun component of a spin stun to drop without fading the debuff.

Haynar

  • Improved movement of mobs/pets over short distances, so they no longer look choppy sometimes while moving.
  • Fixed an error with the delta position translations from the client, which was not accounting for the (+/-) correctly.
  • Improved the loiter logic when a mob resumes moving, associated with feign death. Mobs should not linger every single time and will resume movement after they start facing their desired direction.
  • Fixed an issue with rotations when mobs return to their guard position. They should rotate smoother until they are facing their guard heading.
  • For NPCs, the delay in moving following loss of engagement, should no longer reset for other loss of aggro methods, such as coh, mez/memblur. The total delay is maintained so that even for FD, it does not reset after one attempt unless it has all been used up.
  • Fixed an issue when a client's charm on an NPC breaks, causing their target to get corrupted.
  • Snared pets will follow their owners a little better, rather than being snared to a stop, when they hit the distance they would switch to walking.

Database: Robregen

  • Pet should now duel wield without weapons.
  • Added a missing flavor text to Froggy in Sebilis
  • Goblin Drunkard in Sol A should now cast spells and a pet.

Robregen / Haynar

  • Shorten the respawntimer for Sarnak Courier / PH in Lake of Ill omen.
  • Grand Herbalist in Chardok should now always drop a loot.
  • Change PH / Death Beetle to one spawn instead of a various spawnpoint in Soldungb.

6-1-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Eye of Zomm/Tallon can now open doors again.
  • Spells will now finish casting when they could not take hold on the target. (Consuming mana, triggering cooldown, etc.)
  • If the attacker is no longer valid (dead, LD) when the damage packet is being constructed, we will now have the defender attack themself, instead of letting the client use pain and suffering. This will produce more predictable damage output.
  • Excluded generic factions from counting towards flee ally count. (Indifferent, animal, KOS, noob monster) These NPCs can still be counted if their race matches the NPC about to flee.
  • Eye of Zomm will now spawn in front of the caster.
  • Quest NPCs will now decline hand-ins if their faction with the player is threateningly or scowling.
  • Renamed special attacks SPECATK_QUAD to INNATE_DUAL_WIELD and INNATE_DUAL_WIELD to DO_NOT_EQUIP based on the content developers usage.
  • Implemented DO_NOT_EQUIP NPC special attack. If set, the NPC will never equip any items, including from their loottable or ones handed to them. The items will be placed in the general slot of their loot inventory.
  • Fixed an issue causing AE pacify spells to not check level or immunity of the targets.
  • Mule character limit is not configurable by rule World:MuleToonLimit. It defaults to 8.
  • Moved the defensive avoidance skillup checks while invul to the correct class :I
  • NPCs will now only block KOS handins if the BAD_FACTION_BLOCK_HANDIN special ability is set.
  • Multiple key groups will now display properly when /key is used.
  • Sentinel will no longer create a string error.
  • NPCs will no longer enrage while fleeing, unless they are also rooted.
  • Call of the Hero can now be cast on players in a different map region (water vs land.)
  • The target of /makeleader no longer needs to be in the same zone.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the group leader to not be set or updated in zones they are not in.
  • Merchants will now be capped at 767 items per slot. If you sell items that exceed that limit, you will still recieve coin for them but they will be immediately deleted and not able to be purchased back.
  • Rewrote /pet who leader logic as it was completely broken.
  • /pet feign now requires the Feigned Minion AA and uses rank to determine the chance of success (25/50/75.) Pet feign likely needs to be implemented in the code at a later time.
  • Added a check to cancel a merchant transaction if the merchant tries to send a 0 quantity stacked item to the client.
  • Rewrote keyring to no longer depend on zone flags. Keyring information will now be loaded from the new keyring_data database table.
  • Quick description of the new table (which can be edited under the Server tab of the editor):

~ key_item: The ItemID of the key. ~ key_name: How the key will display when the /key command is used. Most use the item name, some like frozenshadow do not. ~ zoneid: The zone the key is used in, NOT the destination zone. ~ stage: Used to determine what step you have in tiered zones like frozenshadow. Most keys will just use 0 for this. ~ After the new key is inserted in the new table and the keyitem column is set in doors, you can complete the keyring setup by either: 1. Toggling the nokeyring option under the specific door to "no" in the editor and let the server handle it. OR 2. You can use the keyring methods in lua (with nokeyring left as yes) to manually unlock/port/whatever else you want to do. -- I have converted all existing keys to the new system. Player keyring data is unaffected, and their zone_flags can be deleted. Torven

  • The Defense skill made to only have a chance to skill up when the defender successfully rolls a miss.
  • Spells cast on 'belly caster' NPCs will now do 0 hate if casted from out of melee range if the spell is not unresistable.

  • The divisor in Mob:GetMitigation has been removed as the database has been mass edited to have more compatible AC values.

Database: Robregen

  • Spiders in East Karana will now dominate the hilltops.
  • VP Guardians should now be mezzable.
  • Replace the roamboxes in Steamfonts with grids to fix an issue with mobs falling below the world.
  • Replace the roamboxes with grids for Firiona Drixies in Firiona Vie so they should no longer fall below the world.
  • fixed a stacking issue with Worked Silver Chain and Gem Studded Chain

Torven

  • Kithicor Dark Elves now have the 'Not Loitering' flag applied.

5-18-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Charmed vendors can no longer be browsed.
  • NPCs will no longer be affected by Levitate or See Invisible spells. (The spell will take hold but have no effect.)
  • Corrected the success formula for Memory Blur spells. (Thanks Ravenwing and Darchon for the formulas!)
  • The client will no longer apply more damage than it should on melee hits.
  • Added the ability to add an item to the cursor queue without sending a packet to the client. This should help prevent desyncs caused by items being in a different order on the server and client's respective queues. This also allows us to control the cursor queue "rules" server side, and have GMs bypass them if need be.
  • This change fixes the desync that happens when multiple items are handed back as a result of a tradeskill, and should help to bullet proof other cases where the cursor queue is used (forage, spell summons, #si for GMs)
  • Pushing items to the cursor during trades and when no other slot is available in general was not changed in this commit.
  • Added Lua export for PushItemOnCursorWithoutQueue
  • Change how rules are loaded and inherit values - When a custom ruleset is loaded, it will always first look for a value present in the ruleset id for that zone, when it is not present, it will load from the default ruleset instead of immediately falling back to the source value. This is to eliminate the excessive amount of duplicate entries in the rule_values tables (credit to Akkadius)
  • Procs will no longer occur while Divine Aura is active.
  • Stuns will no longer take affect when a NPC is mezzed. Pre-existing stuns will fade when the Mez wears off.
  • Dispels can now be cast on other players in PVP situations.
  • Single target buffs will now overwrite the group version of the buff and vice versa provided the caster's level is equal or greater than the original caster's level. If it is not, it will be blocked in both cases.
  • Added KILLED emote type, which causes the NPC that gets the final hit on any other entity to emote. KILLEDNPC for NPC slays and KILLEDPC for PC slays are unaffected by this and will continue to work. However, using either combined with KILLED will result in a double message.
  • Removed #itemsearch alias "search" since it was ambiguous. #itemsearch, #finditem, or #fi all still work.
  • Added HPRatio to #showstats.
  • Added the remaining boat NPCID defines in preparation of a future commit.
  • Added IsQuestTrigger() to determine if a NPC is an invisible quest trigger. Unused at present, reserved for future use.
  • Damage Shields will no longer have reduced damage in PVP.
  • Added sort_order to npc_faction_entries, so the order faction hits appear in game can be changed.
  • Fixed a zone crash in the emote code.
  • If all the damage was done to a NPC using a damage shield, faction hits will no longer occur.
  • Changed the race/bodytype of zone_controller to match Haynar's findings and to match the triggers in the DB.
  • Removed IsQuestTrigger() as it's no longer necessary.
  • Added mule exception for IP limit.
  • Attempting to open a door with the wrong key will now give the proper message.
  • Added NO_LOITERING special attack, which forces an NPC to immediately begin pathing/return home after losing aggro.
  • Clicky items with 0 casttime and 0 recast delay will no longer suffer a 400 millisecond cooldown.
  • Removed the extra message casters receive when they heal another character.
  • Fixed the issue causing the healed message to not show up for the target on Heals and Life Taps. HoT spells have been excluded from this.
  • When a caster casts an exceptional heal, they will now see two exceptional messages. One for them, and one everybody else sees.
  • Corrected Mez overwriting rules.
  • Stacking rules regarding detrimental songs and detrimental spells will now work better.

Eye of Zomm changes and fixes:

> Players can now chat, and cast spells/songs with the eye up. > The eye is now attackable and killable by all players, and will leave a corpse and grant 1 point of XP. > The eye will no longer assist the caster after the buff has been clicked off. > The server is now properly keeping track of the eye's current location.

Flee changes

> Added a new NPC special attacks for flee: > ALWAYS_FLEE_LOW_CON: Causes a NPC to always flee once they reach the HP threshold if they are green to top hate. > FLEE_PERCENT_CON: Causes NPCs to flee at 50% when they are deep green to top hate. Note: NPCs over level 18 will essentially ignore this special attack as IsDeepGreen() was changed to max out at level 18 when compared to a entity that is level 65. > Removed Combat:UseConForFleeRatio as it is now handled by the special attack above. > Corrected the issue causing a NPC to flee at the percent below the one desired. Changed the default value of Combat:FleeHPRatio to 20 (from 21) as a result. > Changed #fleeinfo to handle the new variables. Altered GetFleeRatio() to optionally accept a Mob object instead of using top hate in order to allow #fleeinfo to print out the percentage the NPC target will run at. GetFleeRatio() in normal flee situations will continue to use top hate. More changes based on feedback from Torven: > Mobs that are level 18 or lower and green to top hate will now always run at 50%. > Removed special logic regarding yellow cons, they will now use the normal percentage calculation. Reds will now always run at a lower percent. > The FLEE_PERCENT special attack will now ignore any special rules. The NPC will always run at whatever that is set at. > Removed IsDeepGreen() as it is no longer necessary. > Please note: We know this still isn't perfect, and that there are many exceptions on Live (and presumably AK.) But hopefully, this should get us closer to where we need to be.

Haynar

  • Updated hazard navigation in pathing to be more accurate. Mobs should be a bit smarter and not fall off bridges or down holes, like on the bridges in Sebilis.
  • Made adjustments to fizzle rates. Everyone should fizzle less, especially hybrids.
  • Added support for different invis types (invis vs animals, invis vs undead) to be sent with spawn packets.
  • Improved some z calculations when npcs move towards other players or npcs in open areas. This should help prevent falling below world when short races are involved.

Torven

  • PC stuns on NPCs capped at 7.5 seconds

5-4-2016

hotfix: Cavedude

  • Changed /who all count loop to match how it was written before. (No functionality additions were lost in this commit

Code: Cavedude

  • Added ChangeDespawn() to lua_spawn.cpp This allows content developers to change the despawn type (and if used) the despawn_timer.
  • Corrected an issue causing /consent to not work until the consented player zones.
  • /consent will no longer send a message to the consented player if the consenter has no corpses.
  • DOT spells like Engulfing Darkness will now display a spell message.
  • Prevented an extra loop from running when a player dies.
  • Added ignore_despawn column to npc_types to have NPCs ignore the despawn column in spawngroup.
  • /who all will now iterate the client list in reverse order, so newer players will appear on the top of the list.
  • Added rules RuleI(World, WhoListLimit) and RuleB(AlKabor, NoMaxWhoGuild) to /who all. WhoListLimit allows us to change the list limit (defaults to 20.) NoMaxWhoGuild allows players to see a non-truncated /who all guild# list. (It's possible the limit is in place to prevent a client crash - this should be tested on Dev.)
  • Cleaned up the code for /who all so it it is easier to read. Added some comments, and some strings as defines as well.
  • Fixed a few issues dealing with pet aggro from DOTs and damage shields.
  • Pets will now aggro when most detrimental spells are cast on their master.
  • Buffs and debuffs should now choose a slot that syncs with the client's internal rules when overwriting existing spells.
  • When overwriting, the yellow spell fade message will now only display when a detrimental spell overwrites a different detrimental spell.
  • Corrected the stacking rule when the same detrimental spell is cast on a NPC by two players.
  • Greatly reduced the hate caused by mana drain spells.cpp

  • Items will now display in the last slot on merchants.
  • When full, merchants are now capped at 10 "hidden" items that will show in their inventory list as other player sold items are bought.
  • Added a check to prevent an item's quantity from going negative when purchased by a player on the server.
  • When a permanent merchant inventory item is sold out (Crow's Brew for example) the remaining items will move up a slot the next time the merchant window is opened.
  • Changed the order of merchant inventory logging to reflect these changes and to make more sense.
  • Stackable items in Bazaar merchant lists will now display with 1 charge.

  • Moved FadeBuffs() to after corpse/XP generation of NPCs to prevent issues with corpse creation.
  • Dying due to Pain in Suffering while in a duel or in PVP will now set the proper killedby value.
  • Enrage will now be checked when damage is done on NPCs who enrage, instead of on the AI timer for all NPCs. This should improve the accuracy of the enrage percentage.
  • Desyncs should be greatly reduced when two or more items are handed back as a result of a tradeskill combine (but this is not completely fixed.)
  • Removed the salvage code.
  • Food/drink consumption will no longer halt in Bazaar.
  • Stackable items will now be combined into a single slot on Bazaar merchants.
  • More changes to spell messages to correct Earthcall.

Haynar

  • Fixed an issue where mobs won't always rotate back to their guard heading correctly.
  • Added some pathing improvements to help prevent mobs getting stuck in loops.
  • Mobs fleeing or feared in zones like frozenshadow, with distinct pathing areas, will now find fear points within their pathing area. This prevents them from running through walls running for a random node that is not connected.

Torven

  • Newly aggro NPCs that aggro by poximity to hostile entities will now add all entities (players and NPCs) within the aggro range to the hate list simultaneously instead of only one.
  • Unresponsive NPC fix.

4-22-2016 hotfix

Cavedude

  • Corrected an issue causing /consent to not work until the consented player zones.
  • /consent will no longer send a message to the consented player if the consenter has no corpses.
  • DOT spells like Engulfing Darkness will now display a spell message.
  • Prevented an extra loop from running when a player dies.

I apologized for shutting the server down immediately instead of 10 minutes warning . My mistake.

4-20-2016 Code: Cavedude

  • Removed RestRegen code as our client does not support it.
  • Mezzed NPCs will no longer seek out new clients to add to their hatelist and will no longer call for help.
  • Corrected the issue causing charmed NPCs to despawn when their player master leaves the zone.
  • Fixed an issue causing phantom waypoints to be added to the end of patrol and circle type grids.
  • Further changes to OP_Damage packet generation to prevent double messages for debuffs with a direct damage component.
  • Moved OP_Damage packet generation from CommonDamage to its own method, Mob::GenerateDamagePackets()
  • Some small tweaks to the filters and how the caster receives damage messages in GenerateDamagePackets.
  • Feign Death will now block PC to PC trade requests.
  • Defensive skills can now skillup while invulernable.
  • Added enums for damage types so we know what we're looking at.
  • Moved OP_Damage from encode to native code.
  • NPC shouts will now display in white text.
  • Changed some spell failure messges incorrectly using MT_Shout to use CC_User_SpellFailure instead.
  • Changed several messges using MT_SpellFailure to use CC_User_SpellFailure to be more uniform.
  • Summon Companion will no longer summon pets that appear on another NPC's hatelist.
  • Pets that are engaged will now add entities that attack their master to their hatelist. (Previously, they were not adding anything to their hatelist while engaged unless they were directly attacked.)
  • Added message when Summon Companion fails due to the pet having aggro.
  • Removed the engaged and hate checks from the flee ally count.
  • NPCs that are deep green to top hate will now flee if able. (We can tweak this one if it doesn't seem right.)
  • /consent will now work on any offline character, even if they don't yet exist.
  • Rewrote the consent packet logic and added some comments.
  • Regen rewrite:

--- Rewrote HP regen formula to match the client. --- Rewrote mana regen formula (Thanks to Ravenwing and guildmate) --- As a result of the above, Bard mana regen is now a fixed value (with level bonuses) instead of being based on meditate skill. --- HP and mana regen will now take level, item, spell, and AA bonuses into account even when hungry/thirsty. --- Classes that do not get mana will no longer calculate mana regen (this includes low level hybrids.) --- Change endurance regeneration to send fewer packets. It now works closer to the behavior seen in packet collects from Al'Kabor. --- Being either hungry or thirsty will now lower/stop mana and hp regen and stop endurance regen. This is how the client works, and due to the other changes in this commit the server must now match to prevent falling out of sync. --- Rewrote code that causes endurance to drop when hungry/thristy to cause smoother updates. --- Endurance updates will no longer occur when endurance has not changed. --- Implemented STR/AGI/DEX penalties when endurance is low. --- Added rule AlKabor:NPCsSendHPUpdatesPerTic. When true, NPCs will send HP updates to players per tick or when targeted instead of real time. This is correct behavior for Al'Kabor, but probably not desired. This rule is more for preservation. Defaults to false. --- Added Regen logsys category, SQL handled by world automagically. --- Added #showregen command to provide details about a player's regeneration.

Haynar

  • Fixed a pathing bug where mobs/pets could get stuck, when they can't find a node route to their destination.
  • Fixed a hate list issue with scripts, that was inadvertently clearing the hate list when it was not desired.
  • Updated some position rounding for mob movements.

Torven

  • Strength modifiers will now adjust NPC offense.
  • Agility modifiers will now adjust NPC avoidance.
  • NPC offense, mitigation, avoidance, and to-hit calcs have been slightly adjusted to be more accurate.
  • Spells with IDs 859 to 1023 have been hardcoded to be uninterruptable. This was discovered in a client decompile by Demonstar55. (these spells are stuff like drake breath and raid boss AoEs)

Robregen

  • Added IsMobSpawnedBySpawnID function to lua (thanks Cavedude)

Database: Robregen

  • Added a missing faction for a soulsipper in Emerald Jungle.
  • Added a missing see ivu for a drolvarg pawbuster in Karnor's Castle.

4-6-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Charmed NPCs can no longer summon.
  • Fixed the error message when an item is sold to a full merchant caused by the recent bazaar changes.
  • Charmed NPCs will no longer flurry or rampage.
  • Damage spells will no longer produce double messages.
  • Player casters and targets of spells will now always see the spell message regardless of filter or range.
  • Added and replaced IsCharmed() with IsCharmedPet(). IsCharmed() by itself will return true for all NPCs, because the default typeofpet is 3. IsCharmedPet() does the IsPet() for us to avoid this issue.
  • Debuffs will no longer fade on players when they charm the NPC that cast the debuffs.
  • Added rule AlKabor:HighLvlCorpsesAlwaysSpawn to force NPCs 55 and over to always leave a corpse. Default is disabled until we can work out the remaining faction wars issues.
  • Clicking on a NPC will now force an HP update. This "fixes" NPCs that are in a bugged (-HP) state immediately which is what happened on Al'Kabor in this situation.
  • Charmed NPCs and their NPC spell targets will now have debuffs faded when the charm wears off to further prevent faction wars. Players and their spells are unaffected by this.
  • NPC pets will now stay spawned and continue to attack until their hatelist is empty when their master dies or is charmed.
  • Moved where hate is added to the pet when its master is attacked until after the master has checked to see if it is dead. This will cause pets to poof if their master dies in a single hit and nothing else is on the hate list.
  • Added rule Character:SacrificeCorpseDepop if true, new empty sacrificed corpses will have their decay timer set to 3 minutes and rez timer disabled in pok, nexus, and bazaar. (Defaults to false)
  • Some minor code support for the recent corrections made to items.lua.
  • /tgb should now always hit the caster as well as the target group.
  • If a player changes targets during the casting of a group spell, the spell will no longer land on the new target and instead will use the original target.
  • Added DepopPet() to the client deconstructor to hopefully prevent pets from staying up forever in a couple different cases.
  • Added some additional checks when charm wears off of a player's summoned pet to make sure the player is still in a valid state to relcaim ownership of the pet. If the checks fail, the pet will depop.
  • If a damage shield deals all of the damage to a NPC, the player will no longer receive XP and the NPC won't leave a corpse (unless the level 55+ rule is enabled.)
  • A minor adjustment to how damage shield damage is counted to avoid overlap.
  • NPCs will no longer flee if they have allies nearby that are mezzed or feared.

Haynar

  • Fixed pathing for pets and mobs getting stuck.
  • Pathing fixes for pets following
  • Adding raid members will no longer clear the list of looters on everyone in the raid.
  • Updated some pathing that would cause mobs to get stuck sometimes.
  • Added size compensation to hazard checks, so very large mobs like giants, are not stuck trying to step over a pebble.
  • Fixed a group bug, where if you do not accept an invite to a group (or decline) and zone, then you are unable to be invited to other groups.
  • Changed where packets are caught up on zoning. This should help not bug out groups.
  • Changed how its determined which mobs/clients get spawn packets sent to clients, to help prevent some clients not appearing when zoning together.

Database: Robregen

  • Sarnak Casters in Chardok should no longer see invisible.
  • change brownie faction to indifferent for wolf form.

Misc: Haynar

  • Update Soldunga path file.

3-23-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Rewrote how trader items are loaded. Changed the logic performed in the initial loop and added some additional sanity checks. This should help to prevent bogus or no drop items from being added to a trader's item list erroneously especially in the last couple of slots. This will also help to keep better track of items when they are moved around in the satchel while the trader window is up.
  • Traders will no longer need to price all their items or remove no drop items from their satchels before starting trader mode. The server will simply skip over those items, if the client sends them.
  • Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the item in the last slot to not show to buyers, or to display as a bogus item.
  • Rewrote the logic for adding a item while trader mode is running. This was required since we no longer require all items to have a price beforehand. This also fixed a bug that would allow a trader to put a no drop or bogus item up for sale.
  • Replaced references of SerialNumber which our client doesn't use with inventory SlotID. This will help to ensure the proper item is being worked with across the board in the bazaar system, particularly stackable items.
  • Changed the item number variable to int16 in bazaar searches, in case a buyer has more than 255 of a given stackable item.
  • Fixed an issue where the bazaaar search would occasional "split" a stackable item into several items.
  • Lots of general cleanup and adding/changes to bazaar logging.
  • Fixed a bug with moving items to a corpse that created issues with soulbound bags. (GM only)
  • Changed the error handling of the above situation to attempt to correct the problem on the fly, instead of giving up. (GM only)
  • NPCs will now try to flee at regular intervals once they are below the HP threshold.
  • Bazaar search for All Effects, Haste, and Flowing Thought will now work properly.
  • +mana items will no longer update current mana when equipped or removed.

3-16-2016

Code: Cavedude

  • Greatly increased the hail range. This should help with hailing scions and other NPCs in general.

  • Changes to the Nexus transport system to be more accurate visually.

  • Fixed an issue with damage shield stacking between a spell and a song.
  • Made the character creation process a bit cleaner and cleaned up the world logs a bit.
  • Added encounter column to npc_types. This forces the NPC to skip the internal check done when an item is handed to them and either eats the item, or lets lua handle it.This column should be set to 1 for any NPC that accepts a hand-in as part of an encounter script. It is not needed for normal quest NPCs.

Haynar

  • Fixed an issue with raids, where if a person leaves a group, the raid is not updated correctly.
  • Fixed an issue with re-assigning raid group leaders, if they leave the raid.

  • Raid group leaders can no longer ungroup people from different groups within their raid.
  • Summon spells will no longer say you are distracted if you have an item on the cursor. The client cursor will not allow summoning multiple items that are the same, so mana and any needed reagents will be consumed. You have been warned.
  • Bard Group songs in a raid, will now have a range check to group members.
  • Pathing fix for mobs cutting corners.

Robregen

/ooc and /auction is being disabled to stress test Universal Chat Server. See notes at bottom for Raid Information

Code: Cavedude

  • Moved Nexus portal functionality from lua to server code. This has proven to be faster and more reliable.
  • The NPCIDs of the various Nexus NPCs (A_Mystic_Voice, The_Norrath_Spires, the Scions, etc.) are all hardcoded in the code, so that we can access them to cast spells or send signals. They cannot be changed in the DB, or the system will break!
  • Rule Zone:EnableNexusPortals can be used to disable the Nexus portals (defaults to true.)
  • Zones that use the Nexus portal system will not idle when empty when the rule is enabled.
  • Player corpses will now retain any illusion the player had on them at the time of death.
  • Implemented raid XP.
  • Updated special bind area rules to use coords found in the client. Thanks demonstar55 for the decompile!
  • Implemented lua methods eq.pause_timer("timername") and eq.resume_timer("timername"). This allows developers to pause and resume the given timer on the current NPC.
  • Fixed an issue with clicky items using the wrong level for their formulas.
  • Fixed an issue where some skills could incorrectly appear on a trainer's list.
  • Shadowknight and Paladin epics will now do bash damage.
      • Bazaar Trader rewrite:

~~ Rewrote much of the trader code to work more efficiently and clear up some minor bugs I found. ~~ Moved all functionality from encode/decode to native code. ~~ Fixed a few structs that were a bit off. ~~ Traders will now receive a message in their window when a player browses their wares. (Thanks Haynar for figuring out the struct!) ~~ The buyer's client will now correctly update when a seller changes the price or adds an item. ~~ Added a new rule AlKabor:AllowPriceIncWhileBrowsing. When false, a trader cannot increase the price of an item while another player is browsing their wares. (Defaults to true.) ~~ Updated the bazaar.map. PVP will now work in the arena area (DB change also made for this fix.) ~~ Removed bazaar.path as it is meant for the newer version of the zone. ~~ Bazaar traders can now be used by multiple players simultaneously. ~~ Trader mode will now end if the trader goes LD. Haynar

  • Added support for raids. (see bottom of this note for functionality)
  • Using guildmotd by itself will return the current guild motd.
  • The guild motd will only be sent when intially logging in, not every time you zone.
  • Fixed an issue where players will move slightly on logging in, when their x or y coordinates are negative.
  • Changed how zoneinpacket_timer is handled. Changes are to prevent skipping spawn packets, between sending of bulk spawns and completion of client connecting process. This will help ensure spawn packets are all sent, before mob position updates start.
  • Fixed a minor pathing issue, used for culling end of route, when target moves closer. The end node to be culled, was not being trimmed correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where moving mobs would pause and warp forward.
  • Improved some of the mob movement code by removing some redundanct code pieces and sending through a common function.
  • Reduced the bulk packets sent when zoning in for npc movements.
