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

Code: Haynar

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

9-20-2017

Code: Cavedude

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

7-12-2017

Code: Cavedude

Corrected an issue causing bag weight to not be calculated correctly server side.
Cleaned up the server weight calculation a bit more. There are times we are still 1 off, but I've confirmed that is because the client will randomly skip over items below 0.5 weight. I have no idea why. The server side weight is correct, and it's never more than 1 off, so it's good enough.

Portal pads will no longer "open" or "close".

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

Scripts: Cavedude

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

Moved PERMAROOT_FLEE to DESTRUCTIBLE_OBJECT's position since that isn't used.
Selling an equipped item to a merchant will now properly update your appearance.
Added the ability to force a NPC to equip a loot drop item. This can be used if you need a NPC to prefer one item over another in a specific slot.

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

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.

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.

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

Haynar

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

Robregen

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

Speedz

Added settings to allow/block client types.

Coldain Ring 10: Narandi is now flagged for giant bane.

Script: Robregen

Coldain Ring 10: Added a missing shout from Zrelik when issue the command to call all Coldain.

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

Updated damage message range.

3-8-2017 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

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

3-8-2017

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

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

Database: Robregen

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

2-22-2017

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

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

2-17-2017 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude:

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

2-15-2016

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

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

Robregen

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

Added a missing NPC "Omorb" in Qeynos Catacomb.

2-8-2017

Code: Cavedude

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

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

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!

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.

Code: Cavedude

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

Haynar

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

Torven

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

Code: Haynar

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

12-16-2016 (Hotfix)

Code: Haynar

Fixed an issue with Universal Chat Service (UCS) allowing the stream to close before it is ready, causing a potential UCS crash.
Fixed a problem with UCS trying to close streams multiple times.
Fixed a timeout issue with UCS timeout checks that results in trying to close the stream again in the closed state, when the connection timed out. The issue was associated with not allowing the stream enough time to actually close and the timeout remained triggered leading to a race state in closing the connection.

Code: Cavedude

Harm Touch and Lay on Hands will now sync better between server and client.
More player timers are now cleared on death.
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.
added a couple of missing Celestial Essence recipe as well as remove one. (Credit to Neea for putting it together from EQTrader)

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.

Database: Robregen

Adjust Mayong Mistmoore faction to be more livelike.

Code: Cavedude

Fixed the recently introduced issue causing NPCs to not immediately switch targets when a player leaves combat range.
Reduced the restrictions used to determine when a swimming skillup should occur.
Corrected the issues causing food and drink items to be out of sync with the client.
Split UpdateItemHP() into two methods to prevent spaghetti code.
The HP calculation when stamina is greater than 255 is now much closer to the client's values.
When runes are stacked, they will now use the effect slot to determine which one is used first, instead of buff slot. (Highest slot is used first.)
Fixed a few issues with Monster Summoning that could cause a pet to spawn with invalid appearance values leading to problems shrinking and other issues.
Normal damage shields bonuses will no longer stack with reverse (healing) damage shields. When a reverse damage shield fades, any normal damage shield still on the mob will continue to work again as normal. Damage shields of the same type will continue to stack, provided they passed the spell stacking rules.
A small number of merchants are now considered greedy and will sell items at a higher price and buy lower than other merchants.
Removed rule Merchant:UsePriceMod as it wasn't needed.
CalcPriceMod() will now only be called when needed once, instead of being called on every item.
Added command #setgreed to set a NPC's greed. #showstats will now display the greed value and percentage.
Added command #giveplayerfaction [factionid] [value] which gives the target player or self the specified number of faction points with the factionid. This acts exactly like a lua faction hit.
Faction hits that originated from Lua or command will no longer skip GMs with their flag up.
Added a check to prevent a duplicate lore item from being removed from a world container.
Rewrote most of NPC::Death(). Consolidated much of the logic, removed unused or unnecessary code, and improved the overall stability. Also added many comments for clarity.
NPCs level 55 and over will now grant XP and faction hits if there is at least one player on their hatelist in most cases.
Corrected a couple of cases where a pet could "steal" XP credit.
DoT damage done while feigned will now be remembered by NPCs and will result in faction hits and XP. (This damage will only be remembered upon death, it won't count towards normal hate.)
Added command #clearfeign to clear both the dot_memory and feign_memory lists on the target NPC.
Fixed an issue that could cause the total damage done by players to a NPC to go negative by mistake.
GMs will no longer need to have their flag up to see damage report totals on death, they simply need to be on the hatelist. Also added a message to it telling you if faction hits should occur or not.
Removed Combat:EXPFromDmgShield and NPC:EnableMeritBasedFaction rules.
Eye of Zomm will now always grant 1 point of XP, ignoring the server multiplier rules.
Client bonuses will no longer be calculated continuously when the caster has an Eye of Zomm up.
Adding new logsys category "Death" and changed logging in both NPC::Death() and Client::Death() to use it. Added additional logging to NPC::Death().
Corrected an issue that could cause environmental player deaths to be handled incorrectly and result in an incorrect message.
ONDEATH NPC emote will now work if there is no deathblow Mob.
Fixed an issue where a corpse is created, but no player is assigned loot rights.
Removed an unnecessary loop that occurred when the data to log player_npc_kill_log was being gathered.
Queryserv will now perform one query per group/raid when logging player_npc_kill_log, instead of one per player.
Added the type of death to player_killed_by_log and corrected the output to the killer name field when there was no killer.
Both of the above QueryServ categories will now take one less internal packet hop.
SameFactions() will now return false if one or both of the given factionIDs are 0.
Resurrection effects will no longer be faded when players zone with low health.
Added a couple more greedy vendors.

Haynar

Added a #randtest command to observe random number generation distributions.
Moved some additional client stream deletes for UCS out of the main Process loop.

All PoM pages should now have a even chance to drop.
Lower Guk undead frogloks should now only flee when alone.
CoV should now assist GoV faction mobs in ToV.

Torven

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

kael armor pieces should now drop off NToV drakes.
hafling wizard in plane of mischief should no longer see invis.
fixed troll mercenary Hitpoints.

10-21-2016 (hotfix)

Code: Cavedude

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.

10-19-2016

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.
Added keep alive packet sent to client in UCS netcode.
Increased timeout for getting disconnected for UCS.
Increased number of packets sent in client UDP netcode, before throttling occurs.
Pets will no longer try to attack Trap triggers.

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.

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().

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.
15k HP flee cap

Added a missing weapon tables to Hill Giants in Rathe Mountain.
Added pathing for Mojax Hikspin and Duggin Scumper in West Commonlands.

Most NPCs that equip weapons will no longer display "phantom" items. Any NPCs that still display phantom items either do so on purpose, have no loot, or have no equippable loot in the database.

Script: Robregen

added missing dialog for Paladin Message.
Fixed various dialongs involving Iron Cudgel 1 and 2.
Maligar should now depop and spawn the Doppleganger instead of spawning it to assist.

9-7-2016

Code: Cavedude

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.

Implemented NPC corpse camping, set by special ability in the database.
Corrected some cases where a NPC will incorrectly equip a second item.
Monk discs such as Thunderkick will no longer be faded on a missed attack.

8-24-2016

Code: Cavedude

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

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

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

Torven

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

Fixed broken damage spells. Whoops.

Code: Cavedude

Changed some size related columns to be the same as what Al'Kabor sent in the ZoneEntry and PlayerProfile packets.
Going unconscious should work better.
Flee will now be paused when a NPC is charmed, and it's also checked for in ProcessFlee()
Added a check if flee is paused for an unknown reason to manually recalculate a new path, as the likely explanation is a node could not be found.
Added HP regen while unconscious and hungry.
Added alive/unconscious/dead state to #showstats for clients.
Removed all references to NPCTypedata_ours as it was created, and never accessed.
Removed all spell effects and associated code (spell variables, spell bonus variables, timers, focus defines, etc) that we will never use and are not found anywhere in our database.
Corrected a missing break that was causing the fade message to not always occur when an invisible spell faded early.
Skin of the Shadow is now a fixed invisible spell.
Right clicking a charged item on a bazaar trader will now properly display the item's current number of charges.
Discipline timer groups are now set by a rule, which defaults to disabled. All discs will now share the same reuse timer.

Changed logging a bit to try to track down the cause of the "did not take hold" bug.
Removed Perl and associated files.
Fixed healing spells that were broken in the spell cleanup commit.
Corrected a specific situation where temporary items were not being deleted from merchants properly.
Bard beneficial songs will now always overwrite songs of the same type, regardless of level, modifiers, or spell. This includes Shauri`s Sonorous Clouding, which is the sole exception to invisibility stacking.
Corrected an issue causing Bards to stop pulsing if another Bard is pulsing the same song nearby.
Skills that skillup on green cons will now only skillup if the mob is 1 level away from light blue. (This needs more research to determine if it should be a global rule, and affect things like XP as well.)
Correction to last commit. When a NPC is one level below light blue, its con message is slightly different than a normal green. This http://i.imgur.com/ED2YKYG.png screenshot provided by surron suggests that NPCs with a normal green con message could produce Offense skillups using a DS on AK. So, I increased the calculation to allow skillups from NPCs 2 levels away from light blue in this particular situation.

The Skyfire door/Wall click to Veeshan Peak should now display correctly.
All Dragons in Veeshan Peak will now instantly spawn at the schedule server reset/patch day.
