One more time...I promise.



I know everyone is getting tired of me asking for testing help, but this should be the last time for awhile, at least for server stability. We have updated the test server with some new underlying code that needs some significant stability testing. This code update is a new interface between the code we use for scripting on EZ, Perl, and the underlying EQ Emulator server code (primarily C++). While this has been tested quite extensively, EZ Server uses Perl scripting near universally, and is the most Perl heavy populated server on EQEmu, as such, we volunteered to be the guinea pigs in wider testing, as it benefits us the most. Scripting controls nearly every aspect of the game, including all custom NPC behavior, some spells, quests, chat interactions with NPC's, Teleporter etc., so even zone pulling and clearing some zones is helpful, as the NPC scripts will run, and we look for any issues. Even simply interacting with NPC's is helpful, and no amount of testing help is too small. If you are able to jump onto the Test server, and notice any issues, please respond here.

Following this testing, we will be basically up to date with the EQ Emulator server code, and shouldn't need to update for some time. We greatly appreciate the help, as it greatly reduces the chances of a bad update making it to our live server, and making a mess.

Immediately upon the completion of this test period, and the successful push to Live, I think it's time for....


HALLOWEEN!!

Thank you everyone,

For Akkadius & Rent,

Don't forget to mention the "special" item people can get for helping test, that might encourage some more people than Sarthin,chief myself and DW to pop on and help.

Got some time to write down what I've found so far, which is nothing really. Just that what I've tested works like Live, nothing weird so far.

General:
ZP seems to work as it should. I tested it in four custom zones.

Nexus:
Epic Vendor seems to display stuff as he should and links to zones worked.
Trainer NPC for spells and discs works. All skills tested.
Siinge Blacklisted shows correct quest text and gives quest.
Audyins dialogue works and he gives quest and Epic book.
A Miners dialogue tested and action links work. Rainbow crystals gamble works.
Tsukasas dialogue works. I didn't have credits to test the shop.
Keeper of the Ages, handed in all types of crystals successfully.
MacGyver, sends you off to CG zone and gives quest if you're not flagged.
Teleporter seem to display her text correctly and send me to the custom zones with no issues so far. I've tested all the custom zones.
Free Buff Bot works.

Fighters Guild:
Trainer upgrades your skills like he should.

Plane of Dragons:
Rot Bot works.
Tikis tested and working.

Halls of Honor:
Greetings merchants dialogue works and correctly ports you to PoA upon request.

Plane of Air:
Observer NPCs dialogue works and teleports you to the boss island. Summoning bosses with tokens works.

Abyss:
Greetings Merchants dialogue works and correctly hands Epic book.

Anguish:
UCv2 NPC gives quest and updates when you hand in quest parts.

Loping Plains:
Zone pulled the place. NPCs drop stones, boss chains works and Archeologist spawns and ports you in to kill Epic boss once you have turned in the 12 stones.

Old Commonlands:
Hill Giants spawn as they should when clearing mobs in the zone, same with the sunken chest.

Sunderock Springs:
Bandit quest and accessories menu tested and working.
T10 expedition is tested and worked.

Will continue to update this along the way.

I did T10 and ToV ZP and mobs never did any damage.

I tried to remove ALL buffs and still taking no damage. It wasn't until I removed random equipped items that I started taking damage.

If I remove UW12 I take a little damage. The more UA pieces I remove the more NPCs will hit me.

Spell damage seems to hit.

Also VP mobs hit me like normal.
Sleeper mobs also hit me like normal.

All mobs up to ST don't do any frontal damage, anything after t10 is fine..

Turn your back and they'll do damage but from the front I'm taking 0 damage in all zones apart from Sleepers and Veeshans..

Also as an important note:

The same applies for live, so this is not something isolated to test server only. I just ZP'ed T10 on live and I am taking zero melee damage.

#stats show 79% stonewall.

Assume this might have to do with the Int64 update that was pushed recently.

If you turn details on from your combat log are you parry/riposting/dodging everything or are they simply not attacking? The fact that it's only from the front makes me think there's something wonky with how avoidance bonuses are adding and it's making you have 100% parry + riposte + dodge.

I can also confirm 100% riposte, parry and dodge in T10 live from frontal melee attacks.

I will look into the damage issue. I know that when pulling Sunderock, you rarely take melee damage, which is why you can sit at 0% health and not die, it's almost all goop nuke damage.  I will do some testing tonight.

Thank you everyone for jumping on, it's really appreciated.

To be honest, I haven't done T10 in a long time and back when I did, I did have filters on, so I don't know if this is a new thing or not. Perhaps it's not. Removing all UA from me and add Orc armor and pull Orcs = death for me.

As a side note, everything we checked on the test server seems to be solid so far. No weirdness.

Test Server: Just my findings.

Plane of Time:
Henchmen: all working
Boss mobs: dropping all pages

South Ro:
Spawned Terrorantula: dropped book 1.5
Completed epic 1.5

Hushed Banquet: A beholder working as intended
Keys and Epic book drops ok

QVIC:
Armor molds, Quest tokens dropping normally

TOFS:
Gnome gives quest
Charm upgrades 1 and 2 are dropping
Named mobs spawn
Spawned Advisor Svartmane.  It's been awhile but when i engaged him he also spawned named helpers
(Cara Ormica Helper and Vhal Sera Helper) who were also up in the zone but still in their spawn spot. 
I remember him solo, must be new.  Drops are the same as live.
