12/26/2013

  • mackal Added classes_required to merchantlist (same bitmask as items)

12/24/2013

Secrets (Akkadius): Perl $client->SilentMessage("Message"); addition, this is a pre-req for a Perl plugin I've shared with EQEmu. This function essentially mimics a player speaking with an NPC * which is used in popup window responses

  • Secrets Added functionality to Perl for $client->PlayMP3("name of file").

Usage varies, but typically you can place an MP3/WAV/XMI in the EQDir//sounds, pfs, s3d, or root client folder and it will play through this Perl function. Example, $client->PlayMP3("combattheme1.mp3") or $client->PlayMP3("TUTBTrade1.mp3")

All clients except Secrets of Faydwer and 6.2 have their opcodes identified for this function. The struct + supported params is the same throughout versions.

Use $client->PlayMP3 with an invalid sound file to stop playback or simply wait for it to end.

  • KLS Added functionality to Lua for Client:PlayMP3(filename)
  • KLS Added functionality to Lua for Client:SendMarqueeMessage(type, priority/opacity, fade_in_time_ms, fade_out_time_ms, duration_ms, msg)

  • Secrets Fixed an issue related to a zone crash where the count of the abilities in an AA was 0, leading to a size 0 buffer issue.

11/19/2013

  • Secrets Fixed an issue with two zone crashes reported on PEQ related to the buff restrictions code and AAs.
  • mackal Partially make use of dot_stacking_exempt (case when it's 1 is implemented, -1 case isn't)

10/31/2013

  • Leere Add the ability to disable a tradeskill recipe

10/28/2013

  • Uleat Client patch prep work for extending usable skill range (no apparent issues with Ti through RoF[12-10-2012] testing * i.e., clients showed proper skills and they didn't crash)
  • Uleat This final patch aligns the existing server PlayerProfile_Struct with the previous changes. The pp_struct, as well as the character 'pp' blob, remains unchanged in size and alignment. The only difference is that the first trailing 100 bytes of the unknown array have been re-assigned to the skills array, and the unknown array decreased by the same amount.

Notes:

  • The existing configuration will allow the use of any new skills up to 99
  • Due to this new segment of the blob having never been written to properly, we may have erratic data there that needs to be cleared before use
  • None of the new skills are coded to use these 'new' skill slots
  • A per-client method will still need to be observed when coding for the new skill uses

10/27/2013

  • Uleat Attempted fix for high level (12) debug compile failures

Notes:

  • Explicit Windows vs. Linux code was not changed due to my inability to compile Linux code

  • the tag [CODEBUG] was added to failed code identifed by the above note
  • If you are having compile issues after this patch is committed, look to the changes here first

  • Uleat Changed riposte fail check to proper failure criteria * (x

10/24/2013

  • mackal Added buff level restrictions, set the Spells:BuffLevelRestrictions to false to have the old behavior.

10/18/2013

  • Uleat Expanded the 'Bag Type' enumeration to include all known values. Also, set in place additional 'Bag Type' to 'Skill Type' conversions. Some of these will need to be verified before activation.
  • Uleat Cleaned up some unused enumerations to show a move towards standardization. More to come...

  • mackal Fixed some more instances of the AA timer being eaten

  • mackal Removed Mob::HasBuffIcon since it was doing what IsBuffSpell does in a more convoluted way with a rather misleading name

10/05/2013

  • Sorvani fixed issue with stackable items being created with 0 charges cause by fix to SummonItems

07/13/2013

  • KLS Added packet class and helper functions to Lua.
  • KLS Added quest event: event_unhandled_opcode

07/11/2013

  • KLS Added a few lua functions.
  • KLS Redid the npcspecialatk system with a new system that is more flexible but a little more complicated (this will break any 3rd party tools that deal with them).

Instead of a string such as "ERS" to denote "Enrage Rampage Summon" abilities are indexed by their ability number, level and params separated by '^'. It is stored in the following format: ability,level[,param0,param1,param2,param3,param4,param5,param6,param7] Params will be read until there are 8 total or a '^' is reached. Eg: 'ERS' -> '2,13,11,1

Levels allow us to dictate how abilities behave that may be different even though they're the same ability. Params allow us to further refine behaviors on a case by case basis. Passing 0 as a param will use the default value.

NOTE: Be sure to source 2013_07_11_NPC_Special_Abilities.sql. Also due to the large impact this has on a database it is very HIGHLY SUGGESTED to BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST.

The following are the special abilities currently in the game as well as their levels and parameters currently in use:

SPECATK_SUMMON = 1 Level 1: Summon target to NPC Level 2: Summon NPC to target Param0: Cooldown in ms (default: 6000) Param1: HP ratio required to summon (default: 97)

SPECATK_ENRAGE = 2 Param0: HP ratio required to enrage (default: rule NPC:StartEnrageValue) Param1: Enrage duration in ms (default: 10000) Param2: Enrage cooldown in ms (default: 360000)

SPECATK_RAMPAGE = 3 Param0: Proc chance (default: 20) Param1: Rampage target count (default: rule Combat:MaxRampageTargets) Param2: Percent of a normal attack damage to deal (default: 100) Param3: Flat damage bonus to add to the rampage attack (default: 0) Param4: Ignore % armor for this attack (default 0) Param5: Ignore flat armor for this attack (default 0) Param6: Percent of npc's natual crit that can go toward this rampage (default: 100) Param7: Flat crit bonus on top of npc's natual crit that can go toward this attack (default 0)

SPECATK_AREA_RAMPAGE = 4 Param0: Proc chance (default: 20) Param1: Rampage target count (default: 1) Param2: Percent of a normal attack damage to deal (default: 100) Param3: Flat damage bonus to add to the rampage attack (default: 0) Param4: Ignore % armor for this attack (default 0) Param5: Ignore flat armor for this attack (default 0) Param6: Percent of npc's natual crit that can go toward this rampage (default: 100) Param7: Flat crit bonus on top of npc's natual crit that can go toward this attack (default 0)

SPECATK_FLURRY = 5 Param0: Proc chance (default: rule Combat:NPCFlurryChance) Param1: Flurry attack count (default: rule Combat:MaxFlurryHits) Param2: Percent of a normal attack damage to deal (default: 100) Param3: Flat damage bonus to add to the flurry attack (default: 0) Param4: Ignore % armor for this attack (default 0) Param5: Ignore flat armor for this attack (default 0) Param6: Percent of npc's natual crit that can go toward this attack (default: 100) Param7: Flat crit bonus on top of npc's natual crit that can go toward this attack (default 0)

Ex: Normal Flurry with 25% proc rate and 100% crit chance that ignores 500 armor. 5,1,25,0,0,0,0,500,0,100

SPECATK_TRIPLE = 6 SPECATK_QUAD = 7 SPECATK_INNATE_DW = 8 SPECATK_BANE = 9 SPECATK_MAGICAL = 10 SPECATK_RANGED_ATK = 11 UNSLOWABLE = 12 UNMEZABLE = 13 UNCHARMABLE = 14 UNSTUNABLE = 15 UNSNAREABLE = 16 UNFEARABLE = 17 UNDISPELLABLE = 18 IMMUNE_MELEE = 19 IMMUNE_MAGIC = 20 IMMUNE_FLEEING = 21 IMMUNE_MELEE_EXCEPT_BANE = 22 IMMUNE_MELEE_NONMAGICAL = 23 IMMUNE_AGGRO = 24 IMMUNE_AGGRO_ON = 25 IMMUNE_CASTING_FROM_RANGE = 26 IMMUNE_FEIGN_DEATH = 27 IMMUNE_TAUNT = 28

NPC_TUNNELVISION = 29 Param0: Aggro modifier on non-tanks (default: rule Aggro:TunnelVisionAggroMod)

NPC_NO_BUFFHEAL_FRIENDS = 30 IMMUNE_PACIFY = 31

LEASH = 32 Param0: Range (default: aggro range * aggro range)

TETHER = 33 Param0: Range (default: aggro range * aggro range)

DESTRUCTIBLE_OBJECT = 34 NO_HARM_FROM_CLIENT = 35

The following Lua API functions were added to deal with the new system: Integer GetSpecialAbility(Integer ability); Integer GetSpecialAbilityParam(Integer ability, Integer param); Void SetSpecialAbility(Integer ability, Integer level); Void SetSpecialAbilityParam(Integer ability, Integer param, Integer value); Void ClearSpecialAbilities(); Void ProcessSpecialAbilities(String str);

The old API functions that worked with letters still exist for backwards compatibility reasons but wont be updated further.

07/08/2013

  • Secrets Cleanup of some log functions that did not have an 'off' function.**
  • Secrets Unknown opcode messages only show on EQDEBUG* >= 5 or higher now. (including the dumped packet)

_NOTE: We recommend for debugging and feature development that you keep EQDEBUG to 5 or higher. For production environments, we recommend 1 to help with CPU performance on windows machines and disk I/O on all platforms. *_Affected filters: NET**ERROR NET**DEBUG

07/05/2013

  • KLS Added some lua functions
  • KLS Fixed some lua functions
  • KLS Perl now will (like lua) keep track of the values you return from EVENT_*. This allows perl to use the extra behavior in things like EVENT_DEATH. Now generally the perl system is now considered deprecated (in favor of lua in the long term) I felt this was too big a change to pass up adding when I got it working.

07/02/2013

  • KLS Exported eq.follow(entity_id, [distance]) and eq.stop_follow() to lua.

07/01/2013

  • mackal Fix Monster Summoning related to giants/cyclops
  • mackal Prevent Monster Summoning from summoning a portal in bothunder
  • KLS Merge of lua branch to master

See: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37008 for more detailed information on what is added.

Upgrade notes:

-'templates' quest folder needs to be renamed 'global'

-'items' quest folder needs to be moved into the 'global' folder

-'spells' quest folder needs to be moved into the 'global' folder

-EVENT_PROXIMITY_SAY needs to be enabled via quest before it will work, calling quest::enable_proximity_say() in EVENT_SPAWN will suffice.

-quest::handleturnin, quest::completehandin, quest::resethandin, and quest::clearhandin have been removed. Take a look at https://code.google.com/p/projecteqquests/source/browse/trunk/quests/plugins/check_handin.pl plugin::mq_process_items, plugin::check_mq_handin, plugin::clear_mq_handin for MQ viable replacements.

-Some spell quests that overwrote the effects from the spell they were cast on no longer function properly on perl, it's suggested you make the spells empty or rewrite the broken quests in lua and return a non-zero value.

-Some item quests have changed in a subtle way, though it's unlikely any quests are impacted and the thread has more information if you found any of your quests broke. As far as I know for example: PEQ didn't have to update any of its nearly 70 item quests.

-Cazic Touch (982) no longer shouts the name of the thing it is targeting without a script.

-EVENT_DEATH now triggers before the death is complete. For the old functionality you may use EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE. It might be a good idea to replace all EVENT_DEATH with EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE in existing spells.

We sought to minimize changes required but it's still a bit disruptive so take a few minutes when upgrading to make sure everything is correct. Most notably quest::clearhandin was used in some popular plugins to avoid a dupe involved with its code and now that it's gone those will not function if fixes are not applied.

06/16/2013

  • Secrets Fixed an issue with RoF items and Req/Rec level above 100 appearing yellow. Recommended to enable the #iteminfo command for items that have a req/rec above 100 to display proper information regarding the info.

-Quite a few warning changes.

02/27/2013

  • KLS Changed how shared memory works: Instead of System V/windows pagefile shared memory we now have shared memory that's backed by the filesystem. What that means is basically instead of EMuSharedMem(shared library) we now have shared_memory(executable), shared memory will be persistent between runs until you delete or reload it using the shared_memory executable.

STEPS FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO FIGURE IT OUT: 1) Create a directory in the place you run world/zone named shared and make sure files can write there. 2) Run the shared_memory executable from the same place you run world/zone (it's basically doing the loading we would do on startup so will take a moment). 3) Run world/zone/whatever

02/10/2013

  • JJ (mackal) Language skill up should use proper function.
  • JJ SetLanguageSkill now updates client immediately. Both functions do proper limit checks.

  • JJ Initial implementation of a GarbleMessage function and implemented for languages. Can be shared with drunk speaking.

02/09/2013

  • KLS Was pointed out to me that we're in violation of ActiveState Licensing terms for their perl distribution.

To rectify this we have removed the Windows perl binaries from the source.

02/06/2013

  • Uleat Changed conversion of bot armor colors from long to unsigned long. Conversion error led to #FFFFFFFF for all returns.

02/05/2013

  • cavedude00 Added heading to start_zones
  • Uleat Fixed the 'nude' bot issue. Mob::texture was not set to the appropriate value and forcing an unclad body model.
  • Uleat Fixed the show/hide helm feature. Added rebroadcast of packet so that changes take place immediately instead of after zoning.
  • KLS Addressed several (completely stupid and inexcusable) bugs in the avoidance code that made it impossible to dodge and parry in certain situations.

As a note: please don't touch the avoidance code if you don't know what you're doing, seriously.

02/03/2013

  • Trevius RoF: More work on Bazaar Traders.
  • Sorvani Items with more than 1 charge should be purchased at max charges again. This does not fix players recharging by sell/buyback method. That will come in the future.

02/02/2013

  • Trevius RoF: Fixed some opcodes related to surnames and traders. Surnames can now be cleared.
  • JJ Fix to #spawn: Automatically truncate name if too long so spawn will happen as expected rather than a NameTooLong NPC.

02/01/2013

  • Trevius RoF: Loading Spell Sets now unmems spells before meming the new set.

  • Secrets QuestParserCollection no longer processes EventPlayer in the case that a player zones and the group is still valid via linkdeath. (Crash fix.)
  • Secrets Added the command #augmentitem. Does the same thing that the #bot augmentitem command does but without the bot command needing to be active. Default 250 status.
  • JJ Added quest::depop_withtimer() which will depop NPC and start spawn timer (a replacement for $npc->Depop(1) code if desired)

01/27/2013

  • Trevius Fixed a bug introduced in Rev2448 that caused some spell casting to use all of a player's mana.

OPTIONAL SQL: utils/sql/svn/mercs.sql -* rerun for updated merc stats & merc spell lists

01/25/2013

  • Sorvani Implemented max aggro from stun proc set to 400. It is rule based set rule to -1 for unlimited.
  • Derision RoF: Should fix x10 Buff bug.
  • Trevius Reworked some of the code dealing with Mercenary packets and spawning them. There is still some work to be done, but the basics are more solid now.
  • Trevius Mercenaries function much more consistently now for Hiring, Suspending, Unsuspending, Dismissing.
  • Trevius Mercenaries no longer fail to group up after being hired, unsuspended or after zoning/logging in.

  • Trevius RoF: Alternate Currencies now display correctly in the inventory window.
  • Trevius Changed one of the mercenary data packets to use the same packet Live does instead of the Merchant packet.
  • Uleat RoF: Aligned the extended client slots back into slottype 0. Previously, corpse looting stopped after looting the ninth slot. (There's still an issue addressing slots 31 and 32..this cannot be efficiently corrected until an inventory rework is performed.)
  • Uleat Fixed a corpse looting issue where the power source item (slot 9999) was being omitted from the corpse inventory. A previous oversight on my part. Also refined message reporting. (RoF: increased corpse slot limit to 34)
  • Uleat Power Source items will now report in 'worn' instead of 'inv' when using #peekinv.

01/20/2013

  • KLS intN types have changed to more closely reflect C99 and C++11 types:

intN was an unsigned int of N bits -> it is now a signed int of N bits.

sintN was a signed int of N bits -> it has been removed in favor of intN.

uintN is still unsigned.

The existing types in the code have been changed automatically(intN -> uintN, sintN -> intN), but keep this in mind when developing in the future.

01/19/2013

  • Akkadius Implemented global_npc.pl, this is very similar to global_player.pl where any normal NPC script will run dual-stack or in tandem with the global_npc.pl located in the templates folder
  • Akkadius Implemented the ability to modify EXP and AAEXP modifiers per Level, these are loaded from an optional table (level_exp_mods) that is attached to the commit, you MUST enable the rule first!
  • Akkadius Added #reloadlevelmods * which will reload level mods from the level_exp_mods table
  • Derision RoF: Guild name now appears in the Guild Management window and over player's heads. /guildstatus now works. Guild members status now updates in the GMW.
  • Uleat Corrected the BulkSendInventory process for incomplete item trade returns resulting from a server crash. Previous code used an external reference and items were never moved..and hence, lost once a new trade occurred.
  • Uleat Added mlog messages to existing BulkSendInventory code to report hidden item movements and deletions. All BSI and helper processes now log movements/deletions.
  • Uleat Added two new client pre-entry inventory validation methods * RemoveDuplicateLore and MoveSlotNotAllowed. Duplicate lore was not checked and IsSlotAllowed failures were not handled. Both were causes of persistent desyncs.
  • Uleat Corrected a bug in ItemInst::IsSlotAllowed that 'passed' PowerSource slot checks regardless of ItemInst::Slots value.
  • Uleat [Client-Server Inventory Desyncronization] Most CSD bugs should now be corrected, or at least, compensated for. Please post any desync issues as a new bug post or pm a Dev or GM if it involves an exploit.

01/17/2013

  • Uleat Added opcode handlers for OpenInventory(SoF and SoD) and OpenContainer(SoF, SoD, UF and RoF). Both still need slot translators.
  • Uleat Changed internal SwapItem method from void to bool return. Added appropriate code to handle returns.
  • Uleat Added an abbreviated form of the resync code * SwapItemResync. Handles failed item swaps on a case-by-case basis.
