- Real case use: Large zones with 700 NPC's and you are making fast quick tweaks to nearby NPC's you can refresh just the NPC's around you instead of all in the zone
- This can be quite the time saver
- This command will depop all NPC's and only respawn the NPC's that are 500 units around you or unless you specify otherwise
Updated #showstats and #npcstats for new speed calcs to display speeds again in familiar float format.
Improved client movement while AI Controlled, such as feared and charmed. Movement will be much smoother from clients perspective.
Added parameter to LUA and Perl method settime(hour, minute, [update_world = true])
- If update_world is false, the zone will then unsubscribe itself from regular worldserver time synchronizations
Added DB ver 9082 with update to add npc_types texture columns if table does not currently have them
Changes Speed from float to int. EQ client deals with int step locs better than it does floats according to Haynar's testing.
This also contains mob runspeed changes. I recommend you set runspeeds to start in the DB 1.25 for NPCs below 1.25 which will match player runspeeds almost equally. Existing DBs will need to be updated.
General Cleanup of MobAI functions. Mobs now change their heading on AIMovement timers if their targets' heading has changed since that time. This prevents players from being able to land backstabs inbetween mob swings.
Charmed/feared players now send the appropriate packet, there was a missing CastToClient() in spells that was missing.
Mob runspeed can no longer be snared to 0%, instead, 1% of their base runspeed is the maximum. Roots apply as roots instead of a modifier under this code.
There is going to be bugs with this code. It's better we push through it than revert it. Sanctuary has been running this for a good week and we've worked through the issues.
Misc updates:
Exported some variables to perl, including:
EVENT_ITE_CLICK_CAST:
EVENT_ITEM_CLICK:
spell_id - returns the spell_id of the click effect.
return value - cancels the cast.
EVENT_DROP_ITEM:
quantity - returns the # of items dropped in the packet. If the item has charges, charges are returned here instead.
itemname - name of the item being dropped
itemid - id of the item being droppped
spell_id - spell_id associated with the item's click effect.
slotid - the inventory slot id of the item being dropped.
return value - cancels the item from being dropped.
Added Perl function: CalcEXP. Calculates the experience you would gain for an NPC that cons a specific con value to you.
Fixed a bug where you would receive the group experience bonus and group experience messages for simply being in a group, regardless of the player being in the same zone as you.
-Identified Size / SolidType fields in newer clients and properly exported it to EQEmu for use in UF, RoF, RoF2 via perl accessors. (Should work in LUA, no testing was done though for LUA)
-Added a sanity check for size to objects. Any size over 5000.f seems to crash the newer clients' graphical engines and PEQ has some containers filled in with bogus values.
-Added the ability to return a value on perl function EVENT_PLAYER_PICKUP which sends a fake dropped item ID to the client to generate the appropriate client response so the item can stay on the ground and not be 'picked up'. Should also work in LUA, didn't test LUA.
-Renamed unknown008 and unknown010 to size and solidtype respectively for objects.
I performed a unit test of 1,000,000 log writes, there is hardly any difference.
