So we've been doing heading wrong all these years. You will need to run
a script to fix your quests and required SQL to fix DB.
This fixes a ton of random issues with headings and as gives us a better
resolution on headings :P
Improved grounding issues with NPC's during combat
Improved scenarios where NPC's need to be dragged out of the ground - they should correct themselves far more consistently
- Scenarios where an NPC is coming up from the bottom floor, or from the top floor, they will correct much better
- A video of these tests can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtC7bVNM7ZQ&feature=youtu.be
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.
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.
