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.
