Client special attacks now do hate equal to the base damage of the skill. This is a reduction.
NPC rogue backstabs now do precise minimum damage, but max damage is still an imprecise estimate.
NPC Harm Touch and Lay on Hands now have 40 minute reuse timers.
Melee weapon damage now properly applies elemental damage, including for backstab.
Throwing damage now applies the damage bonus and the ranged damage divisor.
Spells cast from items (including weapon procs) now do full hate if the spell is castable by the class of the item holder/wielder.
Enraging blow effects now do full hate for bards.
Avoidance skill order is now Block, Parry, Riposte, Dodge.
NPCs of the appropriate classes now gain riposte at level 12.
NPCs now again do two bash/kicks per special attack instead of one. (ramp, flurry)
The riposte and parry formulae have been modified slightly to reduce the overall parry and riposte rates. This amounts to a -1% for each at max skill.
Wizard innate critical spell chance is now (min(INT, 255) + min(DEX, 255)) / 2 + 32 / 100
Aggressive discipline now increases the 'DI' portion of damage taken by 50%, like a reverse Defensive disc.
Stonestance and Protective Spirit disciplines are now precise. Note that they were only supposed to apply to the 'DI' portion of NPC damage and they are now less effective.
Fix to Beastlord hand-to-hand hate generation.
Summoned pets are now subject to a haste cap. Summoned pet haste cap is: 10 + petLevel + max(0, ownerLevel - 39) + max(0, ownerLevel - 60)
Archery hate is again back to weapon damage + arrow damage per shot without the multipliers, hit or miss.

Due to the above change, the Lua method SpellEffect() has been removed.
Removed several redudant bonus calculations done while a spell is cast.
Spells will now only check level restrictions at the beginning of the cast.

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.

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.

Readjusted some pricing on a few paineel steel armors.

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.

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.

Ranged items will now display properly in-game for NPCs.

5-3-2017

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

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

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)

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.

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

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

The pause parameter with lua moveto should now work correctly.

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.

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.)

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.

Code Haynar

fixed waypoint crash.

1-11-2017

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

Added a pause parameter for lua move_to in seconds. The format is move_to(x,y,z,h,save_guardpoint,pause) - The pause is in seconds, and how long they will pause when reaching their destination. The default is to pause for 5 seconds.
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.

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.

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.
Implemented Spell Casting Reinforcement and Mastery AAs.
The server and client should now remain in sync when Mend is used and the player zones.

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.

Guards in PoM should now drop crowns.
Crystal Scimitar, Crystal Hammer, and Great Sword of Bristlebane added and replace in various PoM recipe.

12-3-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Haynar

Added netcode fixes to prevent desyncs under some high traffic situations.
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.

Torven

workaround to prevent dangling pointer crash in GetTop()

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.
Spider Fur-lined Boots and Spider Fur gloves should now drops of hunters.

hotfix2 electric buggalo Code: Cavedude

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.

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.

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

Added method SameFactions() which compares two npc_faction_ids to determine if they are the same faction or not. It compares primary faction, and all faction hits (excluding primary) ignoring the hit values.
The invis assisting code has been changed to make use of this method to determine if the assisting NPC is the same faction as the NPC requesting help.

Haynar

Added using Mutex to the UCS Stream. Changed how stale UCS connections are removed, to prevent crashes.
The #zonestatus command will now shows the UCS connection status. When the UCS drops, a message will be sent to the clients, that connection to the chat service was dropped.
The #los command will now check both ways, from client to target, and target to the client.

Code: Cavedude

Added some more race defines for clarity. Removed Froglok race from code.
Removed instance code.
Removed some unused code and database columns from doors and objects.
Renamed some unknown object columns to match their usage in our code.
Portal doors will now check if the player has died before transporting them.
Untargetable and Trap trigger NPCs will now be skipped when an AE is determining targets.
Attempting to /tar an untargetable NPC will now display "I don't see anyone by that name around here..."
Changed IsUnTargetable() to always return true for quest triggers.
NPCs that can't see the attacker due to invis will still assist if they are on the same faction (npc_faction_id) as the NPC requesting help. If the factionid is different, and they cannot see through the invis, they will not assist. This allows for situations were NPCs on the same primary faction may not assist each other due to invisibility if they are on different factionids. (Due to having different hits, or different assist behaviors.)
The above applies to all forms of invisibility, including VsUndead, VsAnimal, hide, and sneak.
Sneak will no longer break when a player attacks, or uses a ranged weapon.
Trader accounts are now locked in Bazaar. New characters will start in Bazaar and have bind set to the same. All zoning requests will be denied. If your character is currently not in Bazaar, they will automatically be moved when they log in.
Bazaar is now the default zone in case of a server error for all characters. (Previously it was either qeynos or arena.)
Trader accounts may now enter nexus and poknowledge in addition to bazaar.
Bard songs will no longer use spell level restriction rules.
Wizards can no longer Translocate themselves.
Items within a bag will now show in the trade window.
Fixed a zone crash due to a nullptr in DepopPet()
/consent will no longer work on corpses created after consent was given.
CombatRange() is now a virtual method. The definition for both NPC and Client are in roughly the same spot as the old Mob method was in aggro.cpp.
Under normal melee conditions, NPCs will now use their target's combat range in addition to their own to determine their position.
If the NPC is rooted or moving, it will only use its own combat range, meaning its position may be in a spot where it can hit you, but you can't hit it.

Torven

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

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

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

Haynar

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

AA timers are now sent when an AA is purchased. This should prevent newly purchased hotkeys from being disabled.

#cleartimers will now reset AA hotkeys, if AA timers are cleared.
Added some AA logging, and cleaned up some logging that was unnecessarily spamming the log.

#hatelist will now display the top 10 rampage list entities.
Rampage should hopefully no longer bug out when rampage kills somebody.

Corpse camper special ability now accepts a value to tell a NPC to pause after losing aggro. Value is in seconds. A value of 1 tells the NPC to permanently wait at the spot where it lost aggro, until it is aggroed again.
Poisons will now be treated as expendable and will be deleted once their charges reach 0.
NPCs will now equip earrings, rings, and bracers again. (This was broken in my last loot commit.)
NPC Corpse shouts will now be in default text instead of red.
Corpse Camper special ability now supports a range for the pause time.
Changed our faction values to match what Rob has observed on Live. The findings also match several reports on the internet closer then our previous values did.

Added a cap to non-Guide Alliance type spells.
An error message will now display if Alliance can not land on a NPC due to not having faction in the database.
Added column never_idle to zone, to prevent a zone from idling when there are no players in it. We previous were hardcoding boat and nexus zones, but they are now handled by the database column.
Teleport doors in veeshan will now work properly.
Corrected Giant and Dragon Bane spells to use the correct target bodytype.
Added the ability to repop a single NPC. The functionality of #repop has been changed so that if a NPC is targeted, only they will be repopped. Otherwise, the whole zone will be as normal.
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.
In addition to the above, a new command has been added #reloadproxsay that will reload any proximity say NPCs in the current zone. It has also been exported to lua, using eq.reloadproxsaynpcs().
NPCs level 10 and higher are now hardcoded to have magic attack.

Haynar

Pathing Fixes for getting stuck in loops.
Increased the max limit of arq resends, matching what the client will not discard.
Ack's too far behind will now be automatically purged from the Send Queue.

Torven

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

Horses will no longer despawn when #repop is used. (Idea taken from EQEmu, but rewritten for our code.)
Implemented force_z column in spawn2 which forces any NPC attached to that spawnpoint to use the Z coord specified in the database, instead of using BestZ.
Rewrote CalcPriceMod() to be easier to understand.
Group invites are now always cleared when a player accepts the invite. This should hopefully prevent players from getting bugged when they accept an invite, and the group is already full.

Large race NPCs will now open doors as they walk through them.
Eye of Zomm will now be faded when an Succor type spell is cast on a player to avoid ending up at invalid coords.
The server will now calculate the SeeInvis worn effect bonus properly.
The range values when checking if a NPC should open a door or not are now rules, so they can be tweaked on the fly if needed.
Numerous fixes to keep linked doors in sync with each other when one is opened or closed.

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

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

Torven

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

Bard beneficial songs will now always overwrite songs of the same type, regardless of level, modifiers, or spell. This includes Shauri`s Sonorous Clouding, which is the sole exception to invisibility stacking.
Corrected an issue causing Bards to stop pulsing if another Bard is pulsing the same song nearby.
Skills that skillup on green cons will now only skillup if the mob is 1 level away from light blue. (This needs more research to determine if it should be a global rule, and affect things like XP as well.)
Correction to last commit. When a NPC is one level below light blue, its con message is slightly different than a normal green. This http://i.imgur.com/ED2YKYG.png screenshot provided by surron suggests that NPCs with a normal green con message could produce Offense skillups using a DS on AK. So, I increased the calculation to allow skillups from NPCs 2 levels away from light blue in this particular situation.

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Mana drains will now check if the target has mana in the beginning of the cast instead of the end.
Damage Shields can now cause offense skillups.
NPC pets will now leave corpses with items if they have them.
Removed pets_equipmentset code as traditional loottables handle this functionality completely.
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.
Stuns will now interrupt Bard pulses.
PVP will no longer be hardcoded in the entire arena zone.
Moved the method to fade buffs when entering airplane out of Lua and into the server code.
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.

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.

Unresponsive NPC fix.

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

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)

4-6-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE* Pok books and Stone has been disabled to zones that has Nexus Spires.

/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!

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.

1-27-2016

Code: Haynar

Changed attempting to pick up duplicate lore items, to totally block the client from picking it up. Added prevention of picking up bags which contain lore items you already possess.
Fixed an issue with Race 63 (Vah Shir beastlord pets) z_offset, which is calculated different than other mobs. This will fix the problem with them bouncing.
Pets guarding will only send position updates now, when their heading changes. They were sending some unneeded updates.
Vah Shir Beastlord pets, will no longer bounce rapidly when guarding.
Updated Z_Offsets.
Shaman pets and Barbarian Beastlord pets, will no longer jump while guarding.
Updated bestz when a pet is set to guard, so it will not bounce. This happened if pet was set to guard, right where it was spawned.
Fixed an item desync issue associated with forage.
Adjusted fizzle rate to lower fizzle chances.
Fixed a potential item desync, associated with summoning items utilizing spells
Reduced fizzle chance for hybrids.
Added message handling to give the proper trade request reply, when someone has their client set to accept trades from nobody, or only accepting trades from their group.
Updated mob position updates at a distance to help with data spikes and LDs. Sorry this messes up tracking distance sorts, but will have to do until I put something better in place.
Added more adjustments to ranged attacks.
Updated Z calculations for mobs while pathing, and when they reach nodes, using their z-offsets.
Changed some logic in pathing, where sometimes a node could be reached, but it would not update position to that node.
Updated min z range for mob updates, to use a minimum value of 200.
Updated pathing code to work better for kedge.
Fixed an issue where spell gems would flicker after a spell is finished, causing spells to sometimes be interrupted or certain spell gems to end up getting locked out for longer durations.
Added additional commands to allow better management of doors associated with pathing node neighbors.
Fixed a possible item loss associated with spells that summon items. This prevents items being consumed, such as during gem imbues, or enchanting ore, but not giving you the end result item.
Moved LoS checks server side before the fizzle checks.
Fixed an issue with checks for items cast from inventory slots, to be treated the same as procs for applying hate. The check was being performed too early, causing unexpected results.
The Greenmist Recourse from Greenmist should now work correctly.

Cavedude

Weaponshield will now correctly last 20 seconds (Thanks Torven for confirming with logs!) instead of 15.
Corrected an issue with looting 2H items.

Netcode update.
Updated buffer sizes for mac packets which undergo Deflate.
Updated some logging values for packet debugging.
Changed how initial mob position updates are sent when zoning. This reduces the burst traffic right after zoning is completed up to 80%.

Improved NPC target management during attack rounds.
Updated pet hate management to be more accurate with how they behaved on AK.
Changed fixes for targets becoming invalid after charm breaks, to not be so hackish. Updated to also include additional spells that would have also caused client targets to break.

Distance sorting for tracking should now be more accurate.
Spell: Summon Companion, will no longer work on charmed pets.
Added Support for Unswervering Hammer of Faith and Flaming Sword of Xuzl.
Fixed an issue where the client thinks a spell target is in range and allows to begin casting. But server thinks the target is out of range, and interrupts the spell and shows out of range, at finish of spell. Their range calculation methods for spells should be better in sync now.
Memory blur line of spells should now function properly.
Pets will no longer be transported with their owners during succor/evacuate/translocate. Closed a loophole where they could sometimes.
Improved hatelist management for rooted mobs. Rooted mobs will now prefer the closest PC in melee range, over NPCs (pets) in melee range. If they summon, they will only do so if nobody is in melee range.
Added an adjustment to client position updates, so other clients should no longer bounce when you see them.
NPCs should buff and heal other NPCs less, which are too far above or below them.

Haynar/Torven

Updated how summoned stackable item quantities are calculated.

Cavedude

Changes have been made to the Taunt skill based on parsed logs and Sony developer comments found in this thread: http://www.elitegamerslounge.com/home/soearchive/viewtopic.php?t=81156

Taunt no longer has a greater than 50% success rate.
Level 60+ players will no longer be able to taunt NPCs 6 or more levels above them, and the chance to taunt NPCs above their level will decline by 10% per level above the player. (targets +5 levels will do 10% instead of 0%)
The taunt success chance is now based on absolute taunt skill vs the target's level instead of how close the skill is to the player's skill cap. This makes taunt a bit less effective on NPCs near your level once your taunt skill stops going up with level, however a bonus to taunt chance is granted for level difference above the target. A negative bonus is applied to targets above the player.
The minimum taunt chance for level 1-59 characters has been reduced to 10%.
Taunt will no longer add any hate at all (it was adding a very small amount) if you are already at the top of the hate list.

Non-roaming NPCs will now have a 5% chance to not forget feigned players when returning to their spawn points.
The chance for NPCs to instantly forget players who feign is now 35%, down from 40%. (the 35% number was mentioned in Sony patch notes)

Lull changes:

Casters of Lull and Harmony spells no longer receive worn off messages.
The chance to aggro from a lull resist no longer factors in target's magic resist. The chance to aggro is now 75% - (Charisma / 5) capped at 250 Cha.
Lull spells now have a small chance to fade early. This chance is 2% per tick on white cons, and declines down to zero on targets -5 levels below the caster. Higher cons have an increased chance. These calculations are subject to change as more data becomes available.
Harmony and Wake of Tranquility will now require LoS to the target to cast. Single target lulls remain castable without LoS.

NPC spell casts will now use the correct spell cast times.
A player's heading will no longer change when summoned by an NPC.
Charmed NPCs will now regenerate health out of combat at the in-combat rate.
Procs and item clicked spells will now cap at 400 hate on targets immune to the spell.
The damage component of procs is now added after the 400 capped hate. This means procs like Anarchy will do more than 400.
Teleport spells will no longer work on NPCs.
Spellcasting NPC roamers/patrollers not in a roambox will now gate at low health. Beware.
NPCs will now ignore charmed pets when the number of entities on their hate lists reaches 9 or more. Entities includes players and pets.

Code: Cavedude:

All skills will now use stats to determine how quickly (or slowly, if they have low stats) a skill will skillup.
Changed experience so the order at which multipliers are applied make more sense.
All pets will now take most of the XP if a player does not damage the NPC at all. If a player does deal damage, then they will receive 100% of the XP (Assuming they aren't using a dire charm pet.)
Dire Charm Pets will now take a percentage of XP if they do the majority of the damage.
Added a group experience split weighted by player level.
Green NPCs will now give XP to lower level players in a group assuming they meet the qualifications. (Make sure rule AlKabor:GreensGiveXPToGroup is true.)
Commented much of the group exp split method. This will help to make sense of things later on when raids are rewritten.
This commit will affect group XP gain. Solo gain will be the same.
Replaced BreakInvis() with CommonBreakInvis() as the first did not send the debuff packet.
This fixes invis not wearing off when a trade is intiated.
World will no longer try to save eqtime on shutdown or when it crashes.
NPCs that are not a playable race will now return to their proper texture after an illusion wears off.
All entities will now return to their proper size after an illusion wears off.
Corrected the issue causing Halflings and Half Elves to sometimes be the wrong size.
Cleaned up the size code and condensed base heights to a single method, GetPlayerHeight()
Shrink will now work while an illusion is active, and it should be less buggy in general.
Fixed the Disintegrate message sent when the spell is cast on a NPC that is too high in level.
Jolt will now cap at 0 hate. (Thanks Torven for the heads up and data!)
Improved GetSkillStat() with data found online.
The Bind Sight line of spells can now be cast on all targets. (NPC, PC, and corpse)
Fixed a crash caused by casting Bind Sight on a corpse.
Summoned Pets will now despawn when its owner accepts a resurrection request.
Lowered the #setapts cap to 170, as we were still getting an overflow.
Lowered the timer world uses to save eqtime from an hour to 10 minutes.
Fixed faction being reset while using an illusion. (Thank you wharhogg for pointing out what was happening!)
Re-worked skillups to reflect formulas posted by Shendare here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showpost.php?p=243531&postcount=20
This formula matches up with other sources, and is close to what we are currently using for tradeskills which came from eqtraders.
All skills now have a difficulty rating between 1 and 15 (15 being the hardest) that determines how difficult they are to skillup.
The above mentioned difficulty values are now stored in the skills_difficulty database table. This has the benefit of not only being able to change these skills on the fly, but we can now also set skills individually that in the old code were clumped together. (Weapon skills, Monk skills, spell skills, numchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills)
Skills that can succeed or fail and can skillup on failure will now take their success into account for the calculation.
Added command #skills. This can be used to view a player's current skill, their cap, and all the skills difficulties. It can also reload or change skill difficulties.
Important note: The old values EQEmu used were pulled from thin air. So, we are basically starting over. Feedback will be necessary to get all the skills leveling at the proper rate.
It is also important to note that tradeskill and language skillups are NOT affected by this change.
Corrected the name of the TradeskillSkillUpModifier rule. (Not sure how this was even compiling.) Moved LangSkillUpModifier and SkillUpModifier to the Skills category so all are uniform.
Moved AIhail_timer->Start() to NPC::pauseWandering which catches more cases.
Defensive skills now are penalized when the stat is obtained for skillups.

Haynar:

Client position updates.
Reduced ghosting and packet updates outside of zone clip plane.
Targeting updates to help prevent clients target going bad.
Fleeing mobs snared to a stop will now face their flee direction.

Mobs fleeing, snared to a stop, will rotate to the their flee heading.
Mobs rooted or snared to a stop, without aggro, will rotate to their desired heading.
Mobs that rotate to flee, when snared to a stop, will face first node in their path, if the zone has pathing.
Improved turning response after hailing NPCs.

fix for roamboxes being halted by runspeed changes
switch around cur target and new target in hp packet update on new target via tab

Torven:

Precise formulae for player character offense, to-hit, mitigation and avoidance implemented.
Melee damage mitigation is now done with a new routine using a guassian bell curve returning a DI value of 1-20, imitating Live.
The player character damage multipler (i.e. 'melee tables') now use much more accurate calculations and caps.
The melee avoidance function has been completely rewritten to use curves that match Live data.
Avoidance AC checks are now after avoidance skill checks. Riposte is now the first check.
Melee damage calculations are now only done if the hit lands on the target.
The minimum player character weapon hit is now round(weapon damage / 10) + DB instead of 1 + DB.
Low level NPCs and pets wielding weapons will now hit harder if the weapon damage * 2 is greater than the NPC's max hit.
The class and racial AC bonuses are now applied in mitigation calculations.
Agility bonuses are now applied in mitigation and avoidance calculations.
Monk weight AC bonus/penalties are now precise.
Riposte, Parry, Dodge, and Block rates are now precise. (at least precise relative to Live)
NPCs will now proc innate procs on special attacks. (kick bash etc)
NPCs above level 52 will now always resist fear spells.
Zero damage melee swings due to invulnerability now generate hate.
The shielding stat on equipment now reduces (minHit - di) damage instead of minHit damage.
Hitting a sitting client now rolls a guaranteed DI 20 instead of the absolute maximum hit. (in the case of a client attacker)
Finishing blows are now processed only on hits.
Rogue backstab code rewritten. Client damage will be much more accurate. Hate reduced.
Ripostes now require a weapon or empty fist.
Monk skill tiger claw attack message fixed.
Dex added to offense calculations for archery and throwing.

As a result of these changes, NPCs will hit harder but miss more often. Player melee damage has been reduced, but strength and atk will result in more noticable gains. The very low level game SHOULD be easier-- cloth armor and skill gains should result in a noticale survivability improvement.

Renamed zone_flags, inventory, faction_values, and timers to use the character prefix, to make them easier to identify.
Changed the above tables plus character_buffs, and character_keyring to use the id column for character id so they are uniform with the rest of the tables.
Removed some unnecessary columns from character_data and character_currency.
Removed sharedbank, and dropped some additional tables that were not being used.
Changed #setaapts to no longer require a category, the command will now properly give the amount of points specified, and lowered the max to 188 points to avoid an overflow.
Invisible spells will now be broken on misses and resisted spells.
Corrected the color and type of invisible messages when it begins to fade. Invis spells that do not last their full duration will no longer have a blinking icon.
Disarm will no longer skillup when the NPC doesn't have a weapon that can be disarmed. Corrected the success message to only occur when the weapon actually drops.
Feign Death will now fail if auto attack is on, and will be broken when a spell is resisted.
Charm will now break as soon as the master dies.
The charmed NPC will now be removed from the hatelist of all other NPCs when charm fades.
NPCs that have faction and are on the same faction will no longer attack each other.
Fixed the protected message for GMInvul to go to the spell target instead of the caster.
Pick Pockets will no longer cause item desyncs. The item struct is sent as a part of the PickPocket packet, and there doesn't appear to be a limit as to which slot the item can go in.
Pick Pockets will now automatically fail if you have an item on your cursor.
Cleaned up the Pick Pockets logic a bit more.
Hopefully corrected a crash caused by target going null.
Corrected an issue where NPCs were not handing lore items back they didn't need.

We are now enforcing the 8 character per account limit when sending and creating characters.
Added a handle for OP_TargetMouse while connecting, so we won't see an unhandled opcode error if the player tabs out of the windows while zoning.
Traps overhaul. New functionality has been added, while preserving the old functionality. Numerous bug fixes occurred as well.

- Added column triggered_number. If this is set, then the trap will despawn after it has been triggered this number of times. If 0, the trap will never despawn on its own. - Added group column. This allows developers to group traps together in a similar way as spawngroups for NPCs. When a trap that is grouped is despawned in anyway, a random trap in the group will take its place. Grouped traps do not have to be at the same coords or have the same type. This can allow for some spawning diversity if so required. If set to 0, the trap is not grouped and will always respawn. - Added column despawn_when_triggered. If set to 1, then a trap will despawn when a player triggers it. If 0, then there will be a 5 second reset time and then the same trap will again be active. (Assuming triggered_number has not been reached.) The player that triggered the trap will not re-trigger it until they have left and re-enetered the trap's radius. - Traps will no longer trigger on players that are currently zoning. This fixes some weirdness and at least one crash. The trap can trigger however after the connection is been completed. If a player camped out in a trap radius they can potentially still be hit. - Alarm type traps were not using effectvalue2 to determine who should be aggroed. This is now fixed. - Traps will no longer be broken by #repop, #depopzone, or #reloadworld. All 3 commands will now have the same effect on traps as they do for NPCs. - Added command #reloadtraps. This reloads all of the traps in the zone. - Added command #trapinfo. This gives some information about the traps currently spawned in the zone. - Added Traps logsys category, the SQL for that is handled by world. - Fixed a typo in a method name. Torven

Partially reverted my change in 29d225b that incorrectly affected other focus effects. Instead, made the correction in spells_new.
Added ignore_distance column to npc_types, so the distance at which a mob will ignore aggro can be set per NPC.
Added code to help place you on the boat while zoning to firiona and timorous. Having the boat name in your player profile sends you to incorrect coords in these zones. This is a workaround until it can be figured out why this happens. Interestingly enough, overthere does not have this issue and the client will find the boat and place you on it like in all other boat zones.
Moved a lot of the boat code to a single method, SendToBoat().
Uncommented a log that will hopefully gives us more information when the server recieves an opcode it was not expecting during the connecting phase.
Removed AA_NO_TARGET string as our client does not have it in its string file.
Guild rank is now set in the player profile properly, allowing officers and leaders to use privileged commands.
Implemented quantity column on merchantlist. This allows developers to have limited quantity, but permanent items on a merchant's list. The merchant NPC will "restock" these items on a respawn (after being killed, #repop, spawn_condition, etc) or on a server/zone reset. Due to this, any zone that has a merchant that uses quantity must be static to work correctly.

Haynar

Added checks on loading paths to try and salvage bad paths.
New path head version is 4. P99 has a v3 path file, and this will allow converting theirs to the new v4 file too.
Added #path optimize which converts loaded path file to v4. This will cause pathing to use new system, without needing to save or restart the zone.
Making changes to a path file, adding, moving, deleting nodes, will revert it back to v2, to not break the file.
Using #path dump <filename> will automatically convert to v4.
Added #path nearest [all] - the all is new, and will allow checking all mobs in zone have a searchable path node nearby.
Added #path shownodes [number] - this allows spawning path nodes, starting at the number.
Spawned path nodes will now show their numbers in their name, when the node number has 4 digits (i.e. 1000 or greater).
Pathing Improvements.
Increased range of client and npc updates.
Filtered some redundant client updates.

Bard speed movement song buffs will no longer overwrite speed movement spell buffs server side.
Detrimental spells will now properly block beneficial spells of the same effect server side.
Leaders and officers of guilds will no longer be notified of their status when logging in/zoning.
Added exceptions in CalcFocusEffect to allow the Affliction Haste line to work based on the client's internal checks.
Rain spells will now hit a maxiumium of 4 targets over the course of the spell, not including the client caster.
Cleaned up rain spell code a bit, renamed some variables.

Pathing Optimizations
Added option to #path shownodes [around]. This will only show nodes around you at a range of 200. Useful when there are very large numbers of nodes in a zone.
When loading paths, the distances between neighbors will be recalculated. Previous path code did not update distances, when nodes were moved. So these could be off.
Distances between nodes will be pre-calculated when paths are loaded. These distances will be used to weight the nodes when calculating pathing.
Improved update path logic, to first try and cull a node on the tail, if target has moved closer, rather than recalculate entire path by default.
Fixed crashes in DetermineSpellTargets

Torven

A maximum NPC chase distance of 600 has been implemented. NPCs will ignore players outside this range, but only static non-patrolling/roaming NPCs will forget the players when they return to their spawn points.
The rule 'MaxStunProcAggro' has been removed, and instead all procs with a non-damaging detrimental spell effect now have the hate from that effect capped at 400.

A new hate bonus was added in the event no hate list entity is in melee range of the NPC, which scales by distance.
Atk debuffs now do 10 hate instead of scaling hate.
Scaling hate effects now stack hate with each other. (affects virtually no spells however)
All non-damaging detrimental spells cast by Bards now hate capped at 40 on NPCs level 20 or higher.
Buffs now do 9 hate; bard song buffs 2 hate.
Beneficial bard song pulses (not to be confused with ticks) will now aggro NPCs.

ode: Cavedude

NPCs will now assign an equip_slot to pieces of armor that do not have a visual texture.
Implemented an assist aggro cap to prevent a single NPC from calling too many NPCs to assist at once. Added rule Combat:NPCAssistCap to change that cap.
A NPC's assist cap limit is on a timer, and will decrease every time the timer hits.
Added rule AlKabor:AllowTickSplit. When disabled it causes the assist cap limit to be cleared when a NPC loses aggro. (defaults to false, but should be set to true for era correct behavior.)
NPCs that are answering another NPC's call for help will no longer ask for help until they have been attacked.
Added a new NPC specialattack 43 that allows the NPC to always yell for help if able, ignoring the cap and combat rules.
Pets will now only answer calls for help from their master.
Added an "attacked" option to #listnpcs to display a list of NPCs currently in combat (have been attacked and have a hate list).
Changed the default NPC loot equip_slot to 22, which is general inventory.
Invalid focus components in the spell data will now be ignored. This fixes spells like Emissary of Thule which has a focus item that nobody seems to have a record of.

BestZ check when a player first zones will no longer occur in boat zones. (It caused issues with the Kunark boat)
BuffFadeAll Lua method no longer requires an argument.
Added an argument to BuffFadeAll that skips rez effects. If set to true, rez effects will not be stripped.
Fixed #boatinfo to display the proper waypoint number.
Boats will no longer be effected by z coord adjustments at any time.
SwapItem will now send item packets for queued cursor items, so the client is aware of them. This should hopefully correct some deysncs we've seen when dealing with queued items.
Added lua methods to support multiquest. The bulk of the implementation is done in lua.
Updated #npcstats/#npcloot show to display if the item in the NPC's loottable is a quest item or not. Also cleaned up the appearance some.
Updated #npcloot add to allow a GM/admin to add an item to the loottable with a quest flag.
Added a new rule NPC:IgnoreQuestLoot. When true, NPCs will not drop quest items handed to them. Defaults to false.
Just a note to clarify: This commit does not break any existing quests. The use of this code in Lua is optional.
Added support for soulbound items (items that are not stripped off the player on death.)
Fixed #peekinv cursor
Player pets should no longer give XP to players in a duel.
Possibly fixed a spell related crash seen this week.

Haynar

Using /q while FD, will now always clear aggro.
NPCs will start updating positions quicker when they start moving from a pause. This will help prevent ghost mobs being in false locations due to previous movement.
Fixed a bug where the server list sometimes doesn't show.
Server option of showusercount will now work, when set to a value other than zero. They number of users was being sent in wrong location of struct before.

Sending a tell to a corpse with /ttell will now relay it to their owner.

Speedz

Torven

- - Hate list logic and spell hate generation have been significantly modified. The following changes were made:

- Sit aggro, low health aggro, and the melee range aggro bonus now add flat modifiers calculated from NPC level instead of applying a multiplier. This means that people with very little hate will no longer be ignored and people with a lot of hate will not have huge modifiers. - Hate from most offensive spells will now scale by the target NPC's level instead of caster level. - Hate from most offensive spells is now calculated from a formula that approximates EQLive. Hate from spells at most levels is now higher than before. (much higher at later levels) - Heal aggro has been increased significantly. The old heal hate was equal to the mana cost of the spell. The new hate is now 2/3rds the amount healed, excluding the crit, AA, and focus portions. - Heal Over Time spells are now 10 hate. - Heals cast by a level 50 or below will cap at 800 hate. Heals cast by a level 51+ will cap at 1500 hate. - NPCs now have a 15% chance to fail a 'witness check' which will cause them to ignore beneficial spell hate altogether for the cast. - Spells with AC and Atk debuffs now produce significant hate. (flame lick will aggro now) - All spells with disease and poison counters (excluding tash) will now aggro more. (i.e. disease cloud, slows) - Dispels now do 1 hate. - Roots now do 10 hate. - Stat debuffs now do 10 hate per debuff effect. (e.g. Malo spells do 40 hate) - Spells with multiple aggroing effects (such as bard Largo songs, Flash of Light) will now only add the hate for one effect to prevent these spells from aggroing far too much. (it will still stack up with stat debuff and damage hate) - Ripostes now generate hate. - Bard song hate for non-damaging detrimental spells is now capped at 40 hate. - Witnessed hate is no longer divided up bewteen all the NPCs that see the cast. - First-to-aggro witness hate is no longer multiplied by 0.33. - Mezzed NPCs will now witness hate, but at 1/4th the value. - Beneficial spells cast on summoned pets (not charmed pets) will now no longer add any hate or aggro NPCs at all.

Added a focus item check to RequiresComponents, fixing Flame Lick and pet focus spells.
Updated flagging system to handle the /key command.
We're now sending inv_refnum to the client, which allows Apply Poison to work. Todo: Create an item serial system instead of using the slot.
Having an instrument equipped in secondary slot will now prevent items from being looted/equipped directly to the primary slot. Previously, we were only checking for weapons.
Added CR and DR bonuses to Barbarian that the client is already handling for us. The calculation does not match the client exactly at all levels, but it is closer than what it was with no server side bonus.
Added new column to npc_types, chesttexture. It and the columns Robregen loaded recently will now be sent in the spawn struct. This fixes a few NPCs that I've seen with incorrect armor appearance.*
Added a few stats to #showstats

---Disciplines: ~ Removed most of the old code, as it was spell based for EQEmu. ~ Implemented the basic framework, including packet communication, and reuse/ability timers for all discs. ~ Implemented the effects for sanctification, resistant, and fearless discs. The rest will need to be done one at a time. However, most are already implemented by EQEmu. They just need to be converted from the spell data to hardcoded data. ~ Added disc logsys category (SQL handled by world)

Clicky items with a cast time will now require and use regeants if the spell calls for them. Clicky items with an instant cast time will not.
Items dropped to the ground will no longer recharge when picked back up.
/played will now show the correct amount of time played. (Unfortunately, there is no way to retroactively correct characters. I suggest setting the field to 0 for everybody and starting over.)
Corpses are now aware if their owner is online or not.
Rez timer will now only tick while the corpse's owner is online.
Added a new corpse logsys category (world should handle the query automagically.)
Added a new rule World:BootHour. This allows server admins to specify the EQ hour the server will boot to. Valid options are 1-24. Setting this rule to 0 (default) disables it and world will use whatever time is specified in the DB.

Fixed an issue where logging a command or hacker entry that has an apostrophe in either the player or target name would cause the query to fail.
Implemented zone change count.

Haynar

Fixed wild buff behavior when zoning.

5-6-2015

Code: Cavedude

Alliance line of spells will act more like a beneficial spell now.
Setting the follow distance to 0 in the follow quest method will now force the NPC to always follow at a walking pace. (They will run when they gain aggro, but will return to a walk once they lose aggro.)
Added two new columns to spawn2 to facilitate manipulating spawn timers when world boots.
- - If clear_timer_onboot is 1, world will delete the spawn timer for that spawnpoint, forcing the NPC to spawn when the zone boots.
  - boot_respawntime sets the spawnpoint's timer to the specified time + variance at boot time, replacing any existing timer. The NPC will also use this timer even if it has no active timer and is supposed to spawn.
  - World:AdjustRespawnTimes rule added to allow admins to skip the above behavior in certain cases - for example an emergency restart.
  - Fixed an issue with weather not stopping caused by my last cleanup.

+++ Required SQL (already sourced on TAK): + alter table spawn2 add column `boot_respawntime` int(11) not null default 0; + alter table spawn2 add column `clear_timer_onboot` tinyint(3) not null default 0;

Haynar

Pets will now walk faster, while following players.
Added a buffer outside range of max clip for targeting. The client allows targeting just outside of the clip plane, if a mob was right where you clicked. This will prevent the target from becoming invalid, and causing you to have to re-target the mob to attack.
Removed the delta for pet following that was in last patch. It did not work very well anyways.
If you FD while on the rampage list, you will no longer get hit. The rampage will go on to the next person in rampage order. The FD person will not be removed from the list, so if they get back up, stand by to continue to take rampage.
If a mob is casting a spell, they will not process a flee check until finished casting. This prevents some abnormal behavior, if that spell was a heal on them, and would have put them above the point to flee. Now they will stand and fight, so interrupt that healing spell.

Robregen

Monk wearing magical gloves can hit creatures that need a magical weapon when fighting hand to hand. (credit to noudess)
Vendors should no longer assist other mobs regardless of faction.

Database: Robregen

Added some missing Mistmoore trash mobs.

Code: Cavedude

The group level range should be a bit more sane now.
Players will no longer see the "Godzilla" debug message, as that bug is confirmed to be long fixed.

Added mintime and maxtime to spawnentry. This will prevent a NPC from spawning outside of the times specified. NPCs spawned in this way will then behave like normal NPCs. They will not despawn on their own, unlike spawn_events/spawn_conditions. NPCs using this that are alone in their spawngroup will attempt to spawn after their respawn timer has expired if the time of day is outside their range. Otherwise, another NPC in the spawngroup will be chosen to spawn. The normal rules (chance, spawn_limit) still apply to these NPCs, this is just another rule added to the system. mintime and maxtime both represent the in-game EQ Hour. Valid values are 1-24. If either or both of the values are 0, then the NPC will not have any time restriction.
- Required SQL (already run against TAK DB):

++ alter table spawnentry add column `mintime` smallint(4) not null default 0; ++ alter table spawnentry add column `maxtime` smallint(4) not null default 0;

Added altkeyitem column to doors, to allow for a second key.
- Required SQL: (Already run on TAK DB)

++ alter table `doors` add column `altkeyitem` int(11) not null default 0 AFTER `keyitem`; Haynar

Moved z_offset to be precalculated when size is set/changed.
Added z_offset to diff z checks for when z needs adjusted during pathing/moving. Mobs that are larger size, can be off more, and need adjusted.
Moved pets to walk at their owners walk speed, to make their movement while following smoother.
Pets will now have slightly different distances to when they start to follow their owners and when they catch up. That way pets are not starting/stopping so much and sending more position update packets.
Pets at a distance will now send their position updates out to everyone less frequently.
When x and y are calculated in a roam box, the z will use the bestz at that location, rather than GetZ(). This helps prevent mobs on the move from bouncing up and down as often.
Stationary ground spawns will now visibly spawn for client is in the zone. You will no longer have to rezone, for them to appear.

Robregen

Fixed for item with charges in QuestReward function.
Allow /pet attack by mob name to work (credit by demonstar at eqemu) ex. /pet attack a_snake

Maid Issis and Butler Syncall should now spawn as vampire if spawned at night.

Converted Lady Vox and Lord Nagefan perl to lua.
remove item return for final reward from Brother Hayle in Splitpaw.
simplify text phase for questsay to Sultan in Temple of Sol Ro.
Guard Monroe in Qeynos Hills should be waving every 1 minute and 15 second to match live.

Code: Torven

- NPC special attack modifications, dual wield chance calculations, no magic weapon disarms **
NPC monks will no longer be granted innate dual wield without being specifically flagged.
Flurries now do a main hand and offhand attack round instead of just two mainhand swings, and trigger the special ability timer.
Rampage now does a full main hand and offhand attack round, instead of merely one attack swing, and trigger the special ability timer.
Rampage now hits the rampage tank from any distance instead of being limited by combat range.
Area (Wild) Rampage now does a full main hand and offhand attack round, instead of merely one attack swing.
Area Rampage string changed to 'Rampage' as old clients do not have 'Wild Rampage' strings.
Area Rampage now defaults to hitting unlmited (well, 250) targets instead of 1.
NPCs may now only do one special attack (flurry, ramp, wild ramp) per combat round.
NPC and pet dual wield chance changed to conform to my parse data. Chance has been increased by roughly 33%.
Pet double attack chance chnaged to conform to my parse data. Lower level pets will double a bit more often and PoP era pets will double a bit less often.
NPC special ability 'quad attack' has been changed work just like 'dual wield' to do a main hand attack + off hand attack (with double attack checks) instead of a random chance to perform four main hand attacks independant of the offhand which could lead to rounds larger than 4 swings. The 'dualwield' flag actually forces the offhand to attack without a weapon, not merely enables an NPC to wield a weapon in the offhand as the name suggests,resulting in behavior one would expect 'quad attack' to do. Since all NPCs are granted the ability to wield a weapon in the offhand if they possess two one-handers, a true dual wield flag would be redundant. Ideally one of these two flags would be removed and the remaining one renamed to 'innate dual wield'.
NPC triple attack chance changed to be a 10% chance on a successful main hand double attack. NPCs flagged with this and who also dual wield can now possibly do 5 attack rounds, which would be rare due to needing successful dual wield, two double attack, and triple attack rolls. (this is how AK/old eq worked)
Disarm will now fail to work on NPCs wielding magic weapons.
#showstats now includes double attack chance and dual wield chance
allow 0 mana 'nuke' AI spells with debuff/dot to always cast

Robregen

reduce aggro range for Misty Thicket guards to 60.
Crafting Stalking Probe should now produce 5 charges.
Slightly increase loot chances for mugs and gems on Seafurries in OoT.
Forage Items has been redone throughout Classic, Cabillis, Shar Vahl, Shadeweaver, Field of Bone, and PoK. Most "Common Items"

should no longer be forage in Shadeweaver, Shar Vahl, Field of Bone, Plane of Hate, and Kedge.

Mob position overhaul completed.
All Player updates now correctly use OP_MobUpdate, instead of OP_ClientUpdate. ClientUpdate was an inbound packet only on AK. This will enable us to implement bulk update packets in the future.
Removed the decodes and encodes for the above packets, everything is now done in native code.
All Players and moving NPCs now use the centralized method Mob::SendPosUpdate to create and send their spawn updates.
Fixed most of the player Z issues I came across, /loc and #loc are now much closer in that regard.
Hopefully corrected the last of the "hopping" players would experience caused by our code. Some hopping during normal play is possible due to network traffic, but that happened on AK from time to time as well.
Players will see others turn properly now. This creates more position updates packets so it should be tested before being put on a play server.
Added position info to #showstats for players.
Zomm line of spells now works properly. Other players will see the eye move around, and doors it touches will open for you.
Re-applied the fix to the rule that was causing boats to go underwater (my fix was reverted in an EQEmu merge.)
Bazaar trading mode will now end when you zone.
Corpse Summons will no longer eat the coffin on failures.
Re-worked logging in after linkdeath. Expected disconnects (/ex, quitting at character select) should usually allow you back on instantly. Unexpected disconnects will have a timeout period of 2:15 before letting you back on. There may be times when it is a longer wait than that, but you should never wait more than 3ish minutes now (which is the LD timer.) If you are, please let me know as there is a condition I missed.
Corrected food so that only extreme thirst stops mana regen, and only extreme hunger stops hp and endurance regen. Previously, being either hungry or thirsty would stop all three. Also corrected the time at which regen stops, so we are now in-sync with the client.
Some tweaks to NPC Z coord, bestz, and push/knockback.
Tweaks to fishing to handle the bridges in the Karanas.
If you're both hungry and thirsty, forage will pick an item based on which one you are more of.
Fishing and foraging are no longer allowed when an item is on the cursor.
Rewrote much of /who all to be less fragile and work better.
Anon will now properly effect /who all

Resist check removed for pure dispel spells

Robregen:

Light source exclusion tweak (helps with strobing effects) (credit to Uleat)

Non base racial illusions will no longer be effected by deity, class, or character faction mods. LOS checks now again use BestZ, except if either target is in water. CheckRegion() is now more accurate. Added CheckRegion to the #los command Fishing now works off docks and on boats. It worked in every body of water I tested. Sorted many logs into their proper logsys category.

Cleaned up food consumption, forage, and IsDesertZone a bit.
merge packet logging system from EQEmu (credit to Akkadius)
Altered server to client packet logging to use our netcode.
Added a rule to prevent minor spammy packets from being logged.
gmsay debug messages that are over 2600 characters (roughly a 500 byte packet) are dropped, and instead logged to file. Our client doesn't like larger message packets being sent, and it seems to be most stable to outright block larger messages. (I tried splitting the message up, and wasn't happy with the stability.)
Warning: DO NOT enable gmsay for either client or server packet dump in the DB. It will prevent you from logging in on your GM toon. It's best to log in first, then enable it.
Server and client packet dumps to gmsay will automatically be disabled when the last player leaves the zone, to help prevent GMs from being unable to get back into that zone.
Cleaned up the zone idling logic some, where I was there.

ResistSpell() cleanup, pac fix, deep red con bonus

Unresistable spells will now land on 'belly caster' mobs. Charmed NPCs will now stop any spell they may be casting when charm breaks. Lull spells cast on NPCs above your level will no longer use the target's MR in the first resist check (which was a bug), but will still have a higher chance to resist than mobs below your level. Deep red cons now get a substantial effective resist value bonus. Direct damage spells that do not full resist can no longer hit for zero damage. (spellshield/runes aside)

Dragon AoE partials, lifetap partials, skill type 52 fix

Direct damage spells with a dispel component will now partial hit. (i.e. dragon aoes) Lifetap spells will now partial hit. Damaging spells with skill type 52 (tiger claw) will now send skill type 24 (evocation) in the packet. NPCs will no longer stop casting offensive spells when their mana is below 10%, but will only cast spells they have the mana for. Database: Robregen

SE_Illusion will now grab the player's texture instead of using 0.
Fixed desync caused by the client placing a ranged item into the ammo slot. Please note: In order for small throwing items (Shuriken) to work, you MUST have one in your ranged slot. The client will then pull the rest from ammo. Auto-equip into ammo, then pull one off the stack and drop it into ranged. The client seems to treat these items like a bow and arrow.
Added rule to prevent greens from giving XP to anybody in the group, until the group split formula can be worked out.

Lowered required status for #xpinfo to 100, which is the same as the GM XP message.
GM XP message will now display how much XP you've actually gained.
Foraged food or water will now be preferred when the player is hungry or thirsty
Attempting to log the same account on multiple times will now be stopped at world, instead of booting the in-game character off. Due to this, there will now be a wait period before logging back on after LD as it takes a few minutes for the LD character to be cleared from the entity list.

AccountName is for GM reference only. GMAccountName is never used, but kept for reference as it's part of the client structure.

Also, Fixed an issue where dynamic zones (and some statics under heavy load) could result in kicking the player offline in world, causing /who all to break.

1-22-2015

Code: Cavedude:

Added rules to determine if a zone should idle (Mobs, Doors, Traps, and Objects pause which causes some Lua functionality to pause as well) and a timer to determine how long after the last player left the zone should it pause. Since it's rule based, we can apply this per zone if we need to, and I am hoping this will help reduce overhead. Boats zones are excluded from this system, as idling will cause boat functionality to break.
Cleaned up component reduction code (we were still rolling every time a spell was cast and the player had any focus item)
New corpse backup system. Added #corpse backups and #corpse restore [corpseid]
DB tables are created and populated automagically the first time world runs. The rule Character:UsePlayerCorpseBackups can be used to enable or disable this system. (Enabled by default.)

Changes to groups to hopefully alleviate group bugs.

1-17-2015

Code: (Cavedude)

Added two new columns to npc_types, combat_hp_regen and combat_mana_regen. These determine the regen for NPCs while in combat. The existing columns hp_regen and mana_regen should be used while out of combat.
NPCs will now use spell/item regen bonuses at all times.

( dsshin1us)

Update inventory.cpp

Do not auto-equip Primary when Bard Equipment is in Secondary.

Bard Group Song target range fix

1-15-2014

Code: (Cavedude)

Added XP info message for all players to help debug issues, and to help us figure out the correct XP gain formula. You can either /log on and copy and paste, to post in the forums or type it out if you wish. Also, feel free to do your own math and offer suggestions that way as well.
GMs will now be exempt from the XP conversion process, but you WILL have to set your xp using #level or #addxp manually. Being a GM doesn't exempt you from client desyncs!
The XP conversion process will no longer occur on new toons ;)
Fixed a couple of problems with group exp range that could cause 0 exp gain.
Fixed hell level calculation. (XP formula is changed again, but very minor this time compared to last - there should be no need for another round of conversion. The first time you lose/gain XP should sync you up.)
Added a couple more Al'Kabor rules.
Bard Charm songs should be less spammy
Fixed hell levels for real this time.
Removed Z coord in group range check until general issues with Z are worked out.
Quests will no longer be subject to the XP cap or modifiers. (The number in the script will be what you get.)
Added e.other::AddEXPPercent(percentage, level);
This allows script writers to set XP to a percentage of a level. For example:

e.other:AddEXPPercent(20, e.other:GetLevel()); Will set XP to 20% towards their next level. e.other:AddEXPPercent(50, 5); Will set XP to 50% towards level 6. (Since 5 is the level you're currently "on"). (Robregen) Created a category rule for AlKabor. Add a boolean Al'Kabor rule for AllowPetPulling. defaulted to false.

Code Update 1-14-2015

ode: (Cavedude) Several Bard fixes:

Bards will now receive messages as detrimental spells pulse. (If too many songs are spamming, please let me know which ones should and shouldn't - I've never played a Bard.)
Detrimental Bard songs will now display the yellow worn off message when the song wears off (unless the target died.)
Bard Charm will now be castable over Bard Mez. The new pet will be mezzed until that song wears off, and then function normally for the duration of the charm.
Bard group beneficial AEs no longer have a range check.

---

Fixed the SPELLS__STACKING log category. DO NOT enable this category unless you need to work with the stacking code. It creates HUGE logs!!!
Removed the newline tacked on the end of logs that were royally pissing me off. Added some more misc spell logging.
More changes to Knockback to handle pull, and for further accuracy.
Removed REVERSE_AGGRO define, since at this point it doesn't need to be disabled.
NPCs will no longer aggro players while engaged unless they have done something to get on the hate list. Added the PROX_AGGO (42) special_ability to override that.
Summoned pets will no longer generate aggro on their own.
Tweaked the calculations for charm/pacify resists, also moved it to the resist check method so it's much less hackish.

XP overhaul.

XP formula has changed. I have added code so the first time a player logs in, they will have their XP adjusted so they don't lose their level. This process will boot them, and they can then log back in normally. All XP towards their next level will be lost!! (Though technically, they never earned in the first place...)
Racial modifiers have been added to the XP formula.
AAs will now use the XP formula method to determine XP needed for a point instead of a rule.
Solo XP gain has the base formula changed, ZEM modifier corrected, rules cleaned up, racial/class modifiers removed, 20% AK bonus added, and 12.5% per kill cap added.
Group XP gain had the base formula removed, member bonus percentages corrected, out of range players will no longer receive XP. They will count towards the bonus, but will not count towards the split. The 6th member of a group will also no longer counts towards the split.
Added #xpinfo command.
Removed unused XP rules, and set XP rules to use 1.0 as the default. That can be changed if need be.
Cleaned up the bind coords section of the PP struct a bit more.

Target weirdness that occurs with charmed pets should be better now.
Spell worn off messages should no longer be sent for buffs and the message has been corrected to no longer include the target's name.
Moved the Gate failure check to a better spot.
/pet health will no longer tell you how many tics each buff/debuff has left.

(Secrets)

Swapped PlayerProfile bind location. This makes gating to the same zone work.
Evac, Death, and other forms of inter-process zoning have been revamped to include a pre-disconnecting state. This ensures that the client is only sent the packets it cares about while zoning. Should clear up zone changing issues significantly.
Fix for bind wound crash. (no idea how this is happening)
goto/zone fixed up to behave with the new zoning logic.
OP_MobUpdate change to help alleviate too many acks going out on the wire.
Fixed gating under the new predisconnect code.

1-8-2015

Code: (Secret) -Fixed an issue where a client could potentially go linkdead on death or zoning (OP_DeleteSpawn is sent by the client in these cases, and we were clearing all data without letting the client catch up, so potentially, we get out of sync with the packet sequence. -General packet struct size hardening. -General cleanup on EQOldStream/StreamFactory. Should only disconnect when the client or server REALLY want to, but don't be surprised if people still random LD. Still investigating that. (Cavedude) -Implemented push for all forms of stuns for both NPCs and players. -Added #push command for testing (and fun.) #stun will also inherently push as well. -Re-factored KnockBack to use the same calculations as Push, and the method will now work on NPCs. -Fixed most cases where groups were not properly disbanding when the last player disbanded. (Speedz) -Refined #path process a bit.

1-3-2014

Code: (Cavedude) Players will now be properly removed from the group when they LD. Group overhaul: --- Groups with 3 players will no longer disband when a member quits or disbands. (Leader can still disband at any time.) Leader updates will now be sent to players in every zone. Leadership should now always transfer to another player if the leader quits/LDs.

General cleanup and logic changes to prevent crashes and problems due to out of date pointers. Added group information to #showstats.

Corrected the crash caused by buying arrows without having a container in your inventory.cpp PoK will now no longer use the hardcoded forage array, and instead will just pick roots if the DB check fails.

12-31-2014

Code: (Speedz)

Implemented a 'last seen' with online/offline logging for characters.

This will be used by the web page after redoing how it handles showing who is online. This will give us a more broad set of display options without exposing telnet to a web page.

Implemented an automated bootstrap database updater so we aren't tied to mistakes made by manually sourcing updates.

The structure is set up with comments. Only part not covered yet is the login server. It should have it's own database builder as it should never have game db access.

Removed 2 unfinished and unused commands.
Fixed a text error in logging eq_stream to distinguish where it is logging in it.
Changed GM titles a bit, they always bugged me.

Players will need to grab the string file from the source to see the new titles.

Added a zone status tracker table to show offline/online zone status.

Can hook a web application to this easily to have real time monitoring of zone up/down status. CD was brainstorming a way to make a mobile app that showed something like this a while ago. So my present to you CD, we now have a backend that is easy as pie to tie into :)

Added loginserver connect status.
Implemented #questupdate

If you are default status 250 or higher you can issue this on the server if the quest folder is tied to a svn.

(Cavedude)

Moved the character save logs from Debug to a new log category CLIENT__CHARACTER
Properly fixed the % s character zone crash. We will no longer be replacing the % character server side.
Cleaned up some more log messages and other misc code.
Spells with long recast times will no longer be castable immediately after zoning when the spell is first memorized. (Unless the spell itself is bugged such as Harvest)
Added conecting handle so LFG will persist over zone. (Not sure if that's correct or not, but the client seems to want it.)
Added Checksum handle so the logs stop complaining about the unhandled packets. Actual implementation is not open source.
Fixed the issue where multiple identical keys in your inventory will prevent a locked door from being opened.
World containers (forges, ovens, etc) will now remember items stored in them after they have closed. No drop items will be deleted if a different player opens the object. No rent will be deleted once the object closes.
patch_Mac.conf was changed, please remember to update it!
Fixed everything defaulting to Damage Shield filter. (NPC Spells will always be on. Clicking the button does nothing, unfortunately)

(cavedude) Trading items within bags now works properly. Updated ApplySpecialAttackMod to use new slotids for NPC loot. Bags with items on your cursor will now show up properly once placed in your inventory. (Including zoning with a bag, summoning a bag full of items, or picking up a bag from the ground.) Overhauled groundspawns Spells will now cast on entities in a different region (land vs water) but will fail silently. The target if in pvp/duel will receive the protected spell interrupt message. Changed messages to use CC_Red for chat color instead of 13.

(Speedz) Implemented the framework for a kickass mobile monitoring system. Changed GM titles a bit, they always bugged me.

Database:

Akkadius: Player Profile Blob to Database Conversion - Summary: HUGE difference in database speeds reads/writes and 1:10 datasize difference - The new character storage engine unlike the character_ table before, is able to properly index data and make use of proper MySQL/MariaDB caching optimizations and performance has increased phenominally PERFORMANCE AND STATISTICS FIGURES (Varies on hardware): - EZ Server Character data size of 2.6GB `character_` table alone now takes up approx 600MB - Character Data Loads take approx .03 seconds BEFORE MySQL/MariaDB cache - Character Data Loads take approx .001-.0035 seconds AFTER MySQL/MariaDB cache - Character Data Saves take approx .0001 - .003 for any particular save operation - Database Auto Conversion: When the 'character_' table exists, World boot-up will queue an auto-conversion prompt and convert all of your characters, BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE CONVERTING, here is an EASY backup script: http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?MySQL_DB_Backup_Script - On auto conversion, the following tables are created automatically: - Table: `character_skills` - Stores Character Skills - Table: `character_languages` - Stores Character Language - Table: `character_bind` - Stores Character Bind point and Home Bind point designated by is_home bool field - Table: `character_alternate_abilities` - Stores all Character AA - Table: `character_currency` - Stores all Platinum/Gold/Silver/Copper and character related currencies - Table: `character_data` - Stores basic character data (Fields from `character_` table migrated to this table) - Table: `character_spells` - Stores character spells - Table: `character_memmed_spells` - Stores character memorized spells - Table: `character_disciplines` - Stores character disciplines - Table: `character_material` - Stores character armor dye textures - Table: `character_tribute` - Stores character tributes - Table: `character_bandolier` - Stores character bandoliers - Table: `character_inspect_messages` - Stores character inspection messages (Moved from `character_` table) - Table: `character_leadership_abilities` - Stores character Leadership AAs - Loads: Majority of Player profile loads now occur at Client::Handle_Connect_OP_ZoneEntry LoadCharacterFactionValues(uint32 character_id, faction_map & val_list);

You will now receive a warning in a case where the server feels you may have desynced (or are about to), but haven't yet desynced client side. This message *should* only occur on the Intel client. But if it does happen on PC client, please report it. Also, I'd welcome discussion on the forums of any patterns that you may see when this message occurs. I have a sneaky suspicion that the longer you are in a zone for, the less likely you are to see this message. Also, I believe the faster you move items around, the more likely you are to see it. For reference, the message is in yellow and is:

"Caution: You may have de-synced. Stop what you're doing, and log out now to avoid item loss."

Changed some desync logging to make it easier to spot true errors.

sola converted, converted all but Naggy and Vox in solb and permafrost to lua.
Added a folder with preliminary conversions in a few zone folders so others can easily edit and submit corrections that may be unable to do the actual conversions.

- Basically the Lua folders will have most of the mundane conversions done (the more common time consuming part).

Revert invis spells to break all charm and make regular pets poof also.

Database: Nothing at this time.

Quest Scripts:

Fixed a missing dialog for Velan_Torresk.

7/12/14 Code:

Changed code to use slot 0 for cursor instead of slot 30. (cavedude - I've tested this out locally, but problems may still linger.)

- This is the first step to hopefully fixing item desyncs. - Admins, run the following query: UPDATE inventory set slotid = 0 where slotid = 30;

Added a message to players warning them about zoning with a bag on their cursor containing items.

- This can/will cause a desync, until we can figure out how to send these items to the client so it recognizes them. - (cavedude - I tried every opcode we have with no luck.) - This most likely is related to items in dropped bags and world containers not working either.

Removed some unneeded item code (shared banks, some remaining augment code.)
Flash of Light will now force an NPC to run (using fear pathing) if they are out of combat range.
Changed buffs being stripped on low HP to compare against HP from items, instead of from spells.
Removed some orphaned code and commented out some debug logging.

It will list all level appropriate xp zones for your current level range and give you a dialog to ask him to send you to one of the listed zones. PC Live users will see it being much like how the Magus works. I will also add some fun goofy GM tricks to him just to keep things interesting, Easter eggs of sorts :p

Added #resetboat command, which will allow GMs to fixed bugged characters who believe they are still in a boat. Magic Flag in Item is now fixed. Hopefully fixed pet zone crash. Rewrote NPCScale method per Torven's guidance. The see_invisible database columns now accept values 2-100 to indicate the percentage chance they have of seeing invis. A value of 0 means they won't see invis, and a value of 1 means they always will. (This preserves the current database entries.) Added a player profile dumping command for internal usage. normal pets will depop when the owner casts an invis spell they can't see through ands charmed pets will break charm
