Client updates nearby clients more often because they will disappear after 10 seconds without a position update to the client
This results in a massive reduction in unnecessary traffic as we only update clients of their relevance around them
This also resembles live-like packet sending behavior of positions
- Before when reverse aggro checks were done (client to NPC), checks would happen every 750 millseconds where a client would
check an entire entity list with distance calcs and other checks for aggro, with many clients in a zone and many NPC's this would
add a lot of unecessary overhead. A temporary adjustment on 3/25 was made and upped the check to 6 seconds.
- Now, there is a new methodology to scanning. The client will build a cache list of NPC's within close range as defined in new rule:
RULE_INT(Range, ClientNPCScan, 300) and will also get any NPC that has an aggro range beyond that defined range to use in
the frequent checks for aggro, the result is far less overhead
- Client scanning changes when moving versus not moving, the client will scan aggro every 500 milliseconds while moving, and
3000 millseconds aggro check when not moving, with a 6000ms re-fetch for close NPC's
- A demo of these changes can be found here:

*OLD AI: Swarm pet would lock on to target until target died, then depop as soon as target died.
*NEW AI: Swarm pet will attack cast on target, NOT perma locked it can change targets if attacked
by something else that generate more hate. When target dies swarm pet will follow owner, if owner is
attacked by something else the swarm pet will attack it (until duration timer despawns the pet).
Updated perl quest function: MakeTempPet(Tspell_id, name=nullptr, duration=0, target=nullptr, sticktarg=0)
Implemented perl quest function: Mob::TypesTempPet(npctypesid, name=nullptr, duration=0, follow=0, target=nullptr, sticktarg=0)
Note: 'sticktarg' field will cause the swarm pet to use the OLD AI
Rule to use OLD AI only - default is disabled.

Most of the following changes are QueryServ related, fully implemented its original functionality to be able to offload
intensive or metric based logging to a remote server process that could exist on another server entirely
Implemented Player Event Logging Types (Go to table `qs_player_events`):
1 = Player_Log_Quest,
2 = Player_Log_Zoning,
3 = Player_Log_Deaths,
4 = Player_Log_Connect_State,
5 = Player_Log_Levels,
6 = Player_Log_Keyring_Addition,
7 = Player_Log_QGlobal_Update,
8 = Player_Log_Task_Updates,
9 = Player_Log_AA_Purchases,
10 = Player_Log_Trade_Skill_Events,
11 = Player_Log_Issued_Commands,
12 = Player_Log_Money_Transactions,
13 = Player_Log_Alternate_Currency_Transactions,
- All QueryServ logging will be implemented with a front end in EoC 2.0 very soon
Changed all QS Error related logging to 'QUERYSERV__ERROR'
(Natedog) (Crash Fix) Legacy MySQL bug revert for loading AA's COALESCE( from COALESCE (
Implemented Perl Quest objects (LUA still needed to be exported):
- quest::qs_send_query("MySQL query") - Will send a raw query to the QueryServ process, useful for custom logging
- quest::qs_player_event(char_id, event_desc); - Will process a quest type event to table `qs_player_events`
Added MySQL Tables:
- `qs_player_aa_rate_hourly`
- `qs_player_events`
- Source table structures from:
- utils\sql\git\queryserv\required\08_23_2014_player_events_and_player_aa_rate_hourly
To get the complete QueryServ schema, source from here:
- utils\sql\git\queryserv\required\Complete_QueryServ_Table_Structures.sql
Added rules for each logging type, source rules here with them enabled by default:
- utils\sql\git\queryserv\required\Complete_QueryServ_Rules_Enabled.sql
Spawn related logging cleanup
General code cleanup
Added queryserv.cpp and queryserv.h with QueryServ class
