Raid/Group Mana/Endurance updates should now update real-time once again
Fixed an issue with clients looking like they are 'skipping' when they are moving in view of another client
Fixed an issue with NPC's who are ghosted in plain view of a client when they are not really there
This commit makes combat much more live like. This is based on a lot of parses
done by TAKP and myself. There are numerous things based on dev quotes and
hints. Pretty much all combat has changed, spell effects correct, stacking
correct, etc.
This is the fist stage of the revamp, I will be trying to remove some code
duplication and make things generally cleaner.
Server ops will have to rebalance their NPCs. AC actually means something now.
Rough recommendations?
Level 50 "classic" trash should be no more than 115.
Classic raid mobs should be more 200+ etc
Other "classic" NPCs should be a lot lower as well.
PoP trash probably shouldn't exceed 120 AC
PoP raids should be higher
Devs have said the vast majority of NPCs didn't exceed 600 AC until very
recently. The exceptions were mostly raid encounters.
There really isn't a good "default" for every server, so this will be up to
the devs to find where they want their server stats to be.
- When a zone boots, it will spawn an invisible npc by the name of zone_controller
- Lua and Perl scripts can be represented with this npc as zone_controller.pl/lua
- This NPC's ID is ruled be define ZONE_CONTROLLER_NPC_ID 10
- Two EVENT's uniquely are handled with this NPC/controller (They only work with the zone_controller NPC)
- EVENT_SPAWN_ZONE :: All NPC spawns in the zone trigger the controller and pass the following variables:
$spawned_entity_id
$spawned_npc_id
- EVENT_DEATH_ZONE :: All NPC deaths in the zone trigger the controller event and pass the following variables:
$killer_id
$killer_damage
$killer_spell
$killer_skill
$killed_npc_id
This code also allows you to toggle on Tick Pulling (Aggro:AllowTickPulling)
which was a pulling technique (exploit) fixed sometime in 2006
This code also implements assist caps to cut down on trains (5 by default)
Unsure if live what this number is (it exists) or if it's a per NPC basis
An NPC with Assist Aggro will not call for help, only NPCs with Primary Aggro will
