This should allow us to emulate lives global tables
The options available to filter tables are min_level, max_level, race,
rare, raid, race, class, bodytype, and zone.
race, class, bodytype, and zone are a pipe | separated list of IDs
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.
Server side we now have 63 total buff slots for clients
They match RoF/RoF2 and are mapped as 42 long, 20 short, 1 disc
The player is limited to what their clients supports, so
Tit players can have 25 buffs and 12 songs, while other can have more
When you log in, we only load up to the max your client supports,
the rest of the buffs are thrown away
Also changed is the default Max Buff slots for NPCs, they now match Tit (60)
If you are thinking about raising that, here are what some other clients support
Tit - SoF 60, SoD - UF 85, RoF - RoF2 97 (although UI only has 85 slots, you can
edit it if you want more)
Also SoD+ the pet limits match the NPC limits.
This will increase memory usage a bit, but I don't see a solution to that
Plus I think most people want this.
For SE_Gate, base2 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
For SE_BindAffinity, base1 is which bind to set (starting at 1)
For SE_GateCastersBindpoint, base1 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
here was actually no spells that don't send to the main bind,
but it uses a base1 of 1 which matches with SE_Gate
This also doesn't break anything
The quest stuff for now hasn't been updated to be able to make use of the extra binds
There are a total of 5 bind points, with the 5th being your starting city
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.
This change allows #npcedit
armtexture/bracertexture/handtexture/legtexture/feettexture to work
properly and sets individual armor slot materials for NPCs.
