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.
Changes:
Mods are now saved for in the DB so they are loaded on zone
This allows long duration buffs from bards that get mods to keep their mods
Ex. Selo's, Symphony of Battle
Instrument mods are applied to basically anything that is an instrument skill
The only exception to this is discs (ex. Puretone is Singing but always 10)
Singing spells from procs (Ex. Storm Blade) that are instrument skills should
inherit their buffs instrument mod. Doom effects should also. This isn't
implemented yet.
Parama0: Negative modifer value that affects ALL avoid damage types dodge/parry/riposte/block) chance on defender. Ie (44,50 = 50 pct reduction to ALL)
Parama1: Negative modifer value that affects RIPOSTE chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to riposte chance)
Parama2: Negative modifer value that affects PARRY chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to parry chance)
Parama3: Negative modifer value that affects BLOCK chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to block chance)
Parama4: Negative modifer value that affects DODGE chance on defender. e (44,1,0,0,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to dodge chance)
Example of usage: Player has Improved Dodge V (+50 pct dodge chance), you want to negate this bonus you would set 44,1,0,0,0,0,50 on your NPC.
Clean up and minor fixes to AvoidDamage function.
Added support to a few AA bonuses there.
worn bonuses than what was prior implemented.
Removed old rule RuleB(Spells, AdditiveBonusValues)
Replaced with new rule RuleI(AdditiveBonusWornType)
The rule value denotes a specific 'worntype' that is to be
checked on items. If the items 'worntype' matches the rules worntype
then any worn effect on that item will be cacluated additively
instead of taking the highest value. This will also stack with
regular worn effects that take highest value. Unless the value
is set to (2) which is what all live items use. If set to 2 then
all worn effects will be calculated additively (same as what the old
rule did).
In laymans terms. You can take 3 Cleave I items and put them on a character
and they will all add together if you set the worn type = 3 and the rule = 3.
Which would also add to any regular cleave set to worn type = 2.
Hope you enjoyed the novel.
to provide an additive focus bonus that stacks with regular focus effects.
This is opposed to how regular focus effects work in which the highest
value is always taken. Please note, focus calculated from worn slot
will only use only the focuses base value (ie ignores all limit checks).
Example (Hypothetical).
Improved Heal I (10 pct focus) in Helm Worn Slot
Improved Heal I (10 pct focus) in Glove Worn Slot
Improved Heal V (50 pct focus) in Glove Focus Slot
Total Heal Focus would be 50 + 10 + 10
Added optional rule which is OFF by default.
UseAdditiveFocusFromWornSlot
by NPCs (ie Heal/Damage focus, cast time, spell range ect) from
both spell buffs and items.
Rule for enabling spell focus is TRUE by default
Rule for enabling item focus is FALSE by default.
Consilidated a number of redundant client / mob functions
to use the same pathway for calculating effect values.
consistent across all relevant effects (treating avoidance
and hit chance bonuses equally).
Rule ArcheryHitPenalty will now calc correctly (Was doing basically nothing)
New field npc_types 'Avoidance' (add avoidance bonus to npc)
Rules for setting min / max chance to hit
SE_SkillProcSuccess (now implemented correctly)
to function more accurately and efficiently, AA supported.
This may need to be updated in the future, if more live
spells readily become avialable to test with.
Updated SE_SympatheticProc - Revised proc rate formula to be accurate to live.
Sympathetic foci on items with proc rate mod will now benefit from that modifier.
Sympathetic foci can now be placed on AA's (This should always be slot1 in the AA)
Implemented SE_IllusionPersistence- Allows illusions to last until you die or the illusion is forcibly removed.
Added rule 'PreNerftBardAEDot' for SE_BardAEDot to allow it to once again do damage to moving targets. (Set to true)
