If this is set, it will look for a match in the start_zones based on race/class/deity and the zone id. If it finds a matching row (by zone_id), it will use that row's details. If not, it will use a default.
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.
actually hitting the target, instead of instantly when fired. Consistent
with live.
Optional SQL added to disable this.
Throwing will be implemented in a future update.
*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.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_11_15_SwarmPetTargetLock.sql
Default queue size 20 (World:TellQueueSize)
This doe not play well with multiple sessions and a toon crashes and relogs
Normal tells have issues as well.
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
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
Implemented innate defensive and range procs
Implemented ability to fine tune AI casting behavior/timers
Global rules for AI casting behavior/timers
NPC Ranged attack updates, set skill and ammo type in npc_types
Various clean ups in attack related functions.
Other minor fixes.
See Change Log, +required, +optional SQL
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)
Revised HeadShot mechanic so damage now recieves all archery bonuses, proc chance can be set to either (lives new Proc Per minute
system, or flat chance based on dex (formula updated).
Required SQL for AA data
Optional SQL for rules
SE_LimitInstant will now also work when set to include instant spells.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_23_FocusComabtProcs.sql
Note: Set to false, if enabled will allow all combat procs to receive spell focuses.
- You need to have rule 'Chat:SuppressCommandErrors' set to true, this is set to false by default
- Required SQL: 2014_04_18_Suppress_Command_Error.sql
New npc_types field to allow any NPC to be untargetable with F8
Swarm pets will now be heal/buffable like live.
See change log for more details.
Note: The method used here to prevent
targeting is a hack but the only side
effect it turns affected NPC's names Yellow.
This data is found in the player_1 field of the spells_new table.
-Rule for this set to be disabled by default.
-Enable IF your server uses an UF+ spell file
and your players use UF+ clients
-Otherwise your better off with alternative method/rules
already implemented so that all players can see the effect.
-Added ability for PERL ProjectileAnim function to only
need an IT#### and not an actual item id.
-If you want it in LUA somebody needs to add it.
- Change to wizard innate critical ratios based on parse data.
-See function in spells.cpp for more info on bolt behavior.
-This works reasonably well, but still room for improvements.
-Rules are for setting what item id is used for the projectile
since live uses an item id from SOF+ I added alternate item graphic
for titanium clients.
-Note: Max number of projectiles (set at 10) is a made up value in most
situations it would be nearly impossible to have more than 3 bolts
in the air at the same time. This values gives enough wiggle room that no
server should have an issue though.
-Small fix to SE_CompleteHeal
Updates to a few rule due to new/corrected parse data.
All behaviors defined from weeks of extensive live parsing
Root Break Chance from DD now will scale based on level difference.
Root has a baseline aproximately 6% chance to break per check when target has
at 0% chance to resist spells.(ie green cons 60 levels lower with tash).
Fear has an approximately 70% chance to trigger a resist check each tick
to determine if it will fade early. (no baseline break chance)
Charisma less than 100, gives -20 resist mod to intial fear casts
Charisma from 100 to 255 will progressively reduce this mod to 0.
Charisma DOES NOT effect UNDEAD fears
Charmisma less than 75 significantly increase CHARM/MEZ/LULL resist rates.
Mez spells will now also use charisma resist check, as they do on live.
** Change to Client::SummonItem() to enforce valid item/augment combinations. (Run the optional sql file first, before posting any
SummonItem() failure issues in the forums.)
New rules:
Combat:RogueCritThrowingChance, Combat:RogueDeadlyStrikeChance, Combat:RogueDeadlyStrikeMod
Rogue throwing crit rate is rather ridiculous. These rules might need tweaking
but they gave me fairly live-like results, even with AA added
Added two new NPC special_abilities, ALWAYS_FLEE and FLEE_PERCENT.
Fixed an issue where a NPC could get stuck on a single coord in a rectangular roambox.
Added mindelay to spawngroup to allow for greater control of the roambox delay. SQL is required.
Shot list of things that changed:
AC Softcap is based on your defensive skill (the scaling factors
are based on at least previously stated dev quotes)
The over AC Softcap returns are now based on exact calculations
made with the Armor of Wisdom AA.
Shielding item bonus and Melee mitigation spell bonus (nerfs)
NPCs damage will now correctly follow the
"damage base + (damage interval * [1, 20])" formula.
These changes might seem a little weird but I didn't want to change
any of the other damage situations since they were fairly good, but
they still could use a revamp as well.
New rules:
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, OldACSoftcapRules, false) // use old softcaps
RULE_BOOL ( Combat, UseOldDamageIntervalRules, false) // use old damage formulas for everything
RULE_REAL ( Combat, WarACSoftcapReturn, 0.3448) // new AC returns
RULE_REAL ( Combat, ClrRngMnkBrdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3030)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, PalShdACSoftcapReturn, 0.3226)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, DruNecWizEncMagACSoftcapReturn, 0.2000)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, RogShmBstBerACSoftcapReturn, 0.2500)
RULE_REAL ( Combat, SoftcapFactor, 1.88)
If you want to use the old calculations only, set
Combat:OldACSoftcapRules and Combat:UseOldDamageIntervalRules to true
New rules:
RuleI: Combat, DefaultRampageTargets
Set to 1
If the specatk db entry has no extra param it will use this
RuleB: Combat, RampageHitsTargets
Defaults to false
If true, if number hit is still less than RampageTargets, try tank
If you want the old behavior still set DefaultRampageTargets to 3 and
RampageHitsTargets to true
Included in the required SQL is weather data pulled from NewZone live packets for up to PoP. An update to EQExtractor will be made to grab the rest of the data from existing collects.
Please note: Until weather data is grabbed for zones later than PoP, weather will not work in those zones.
Reworked how Mob::_GetMovementSpeed worked to fix an issue of walking
with a sufficiently high movemod.
Added a rule Character:BaseRunSpeedCap (default 158) to control the
cap on runspeed from buffs. Hardcapped to 225 for sanity's sake.
The maximum bard songs can be effected by instrument mods is 3.6.
This is set by the rule Character:BaseInstrumentSoftCap which defaults to 36
Also fix Echo of Taelosia and Ayonae's Tutelage to increase the mod cap.
Higher level buffs can't be cast on lower level toons.
The formula was based on information found here: http://samanna.net/eq.general/buffs.shtml
This behavior is controlled by the rule Spells:BuffLevelRestrictions which defaults to true.
