Dev Server Access

Accessing the Dev server

TAKP has a player accessible development server for testing purposes. This can be used to replicate a bug found on the live server before submitting it under the bug forums. It is always good practice to submit the steps and exact scenarios when possible. This can shorten the dev time needed considerably. This server is also used heavily used for PoP expansion testing currently since it is in development. Updated info on that can be found under the appropriate forums here

To gain access to the Dev server, you need to edit your eqhosts.txt file in your EQ folder. You should see the following:

[Registration Servers] { "loginserver.takproject.net:6000" } [Login Servers] { "loginserver.takproject.net:6000" }

Simply change the line under [Login Servers] to .org instead of .net:

"loginserver.takproject.org:6000"

Once logged in, you will need to create a character as these are not imported from the live server.

Dev Server Usage

#help will bring up a multitude of available commands and categories where you can dig in further.

Some common examples:

#fi <text of item>

- This will search the database for any item that has that text in its name and display it.

#si <item number>

- Once you get the item number from #fi, you can summon it using #si.

#level 60

- Levels your character to 60.

#maxskills

- Sets all of your skills to your class's maximum.

#setaapts 170

- Gives you 170 AA's for you to spend using the AA window (alt v). Change this to the amount you need.

#scribespells 60

- Gives your character access to all spells from level 1-60.

#si 9450

- Summons Mithaniel's Defense, an instant cast, usable from inventory healing item.

#si 11175 <charges>

- Summons Can o` Whoop Ass, an instant cast rune effect. This item makes your character effectively invulnerable if you macro the summon command, and sip the can every second or so. The maximum number of charges is 255, but that doesn't always work. I usually use 100 to be safe.

#si 13401

- Summons a Manastone, you can use this in conjunction with the Mithaniel's Defense to never run out of mana.

#si 12504 <charges>

- Summons a Wand of Souls. This is necro only, but it's how I usually kill things. You can click it once per 15ms, so the damage adds up quickly.

#zone <shortname>

- Teleports your character to any zone active on the dev server. You can also use the command #goto to teleport to specific locations within a zone.
