Added two new NPC special_abilities, ALWAYS_FLEE and FLEE_PERCENT.
Fixed an issue where a NPC could get stuck on a single coord in a rectangular roambox.
Added mindelay to spawngroup to allow for greater control of the roambox delay. SQL is required.
Shot list of things that changed:
AC Softcap is based on your defensive skill (the scaling factors
are based on at least previously stated dev quotes)
The over AC Softcap returns are now based on exact calculations
made with the Armor of Wisdom AA.
Shielding item bonus and Melee mitigation spell bonus (nerfs)
NPCs damage will now correctly follow the
"damage base + (damage interval * [1, 20])" formula.
These changes might seem a little weird but I didn't want to change
any of the other damage situations since they were fairly good, but
they still could use a revamp as well.
New rules:
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, OldACSoftcapRules, false) // use old softcaps
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, UseOldDamageIntervalRules, false) // use old damage formulas for everything
RULE_REAL ( Combat, WarACSoftcapReturn, 0.3448) // new AC returns
RULE_REAL ( Combat, ClrRngMnkBrdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3030)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, PalShdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3226)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, DruNecWizEncMagACSoftcapReturn, 0.2000)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, RogShmBstBerACSoftcapReturn, 0.2500)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, SoftcapFactor, 1.88)
If you want to use the old calculations only, set
Combat:OldACSoftcapRules and Combat:UseOldDamageIntervalRules to true
New rules:
RuleI: Combat, DefaultRampageTargets
Set to 1
If the specatk db entry has no extra param it will use this
RuleB: Combat, RampageHitsTargets
Defaults to false
If true, if number hit is still less than RampageTargets, try tank
If you want the old behavior still set DefaultRampageTargets to 3 and
RampageHitsTargets to true
Included in the required SQL is weather data pulled from NewZone live packets for up to PoP. An update to EQExtractor will be made to grab the rest of the data from existing collects.
Please note: Until weather data is grabbed for zones later than PoP, weather will not work in those zones.
Reworked how Mob::_GetMovementSpeed worked to fix an issue of walking
with a sufficiently high movemod.
Added a rule Character:BaseRunSpeedCap (default 158) to control the
cap on runspeed from buffs. Hardcapped to 225 for sanity's sake.
The maximum bard songs can be effected by instrument mods is 3.6.
This is set by the rule Character:BaseInstrumentSoftCap which defaults to 36
Also fix Echo of Taelosia and Ayonae's Tutelage to increase the mod cap.
Higher level buffs can't be cast on lower level toons.
The formula was based on information found here: http://samanna.net/eq.general/buffs.shtml
This behavior is controlled by the rule Spells:BuffLevelRestrictions which defaults to true.
Added numerous modding hooks.
Added rules:
Character:KeepLevelOverMax - Don't delevel a character if they are found to be over max level rule.
Spells:UseCHAScribeHack - Optionally omit spells with CHA in effect12 when using scribespells and traindiscs
Combat:MonkACBonusWeight - Adjust the weight threshold for monk AC bonus
Combat:ClientStunLevel - Adjust the level clients kicks and bashes start to roll for stuns
Combat;QuiverWRHasteDiv - Adjust the divisor applied to weight reduction for haste calcs
Combat:UseArcheryBonusRoll - Make archery stationary bonus a roll
Combat:ArcheryBonusChance - Archery stationary bonus chance
Added account flags and associated perl wrappers
Added EVENT_ITEM_TICK for interactive items
Added EVENT_DUEL_WIN and EVENT_DUEL_LOSE, which exports $enemyname and $enemyid
Added timer and interval to console worldshutdown command
Added EQW interface for worldshutdown and server-wide messages
