EZ Server

Updated source today:


Thanks Secrets!

Hunter

EDIT/UPDATE

Some how the new source code, and the new sql's dropped into the database, has made every npc drop an item. This was not intended. I'm going back to our previous source code until that is fixed. I'll do my best to preserve everyones character / items and only undo the tables that were changed from the sql files.

Some how when I updated source code and database from May 25th to current June 15th, all the NPCs in all zones got affected to have 100% drop rate. Using Georges NPC LOOT EDITOR I verified the drop % are correct, but some how server is treating them all as if they were 100%.

==06/15/2010==
Secrets: Characters with HPs higher than 30k will no longer be set back to 30k current health when zoning.
gaeorn: fixed integer transformation for RNG as it previously would only return the high value of the low to high range if the RNG returned exactly 0xffffffff
Trevius: The following item fields now load from the database: EliteMaterial LDoNSellBackRate ScriptFileID ExpendableArrow QuestItemFlag.
Trevius: Identified some unknown fields in the database from 13th floor findings, and removed multiple unused fields.

REQUIRED SQL:
utils/sql/svn/1542_items_table_cleanup.sql

==06/10/2010==
gaeorn: modified method of transforming RNG output into a range of integers. this should improve the equalization of the distribution of the returned random numbers

==06/09/2010==
Trevius: Added new Perl Mob quest object SpellEffect(effect, [duration, finish_delay, zone_wide, unk20, unk26]) for sending a spell paticle effects without casting a spell.

Trevius: Unreverted the revert from R1502 and added a fix for the tradeskill container combine issue.
Trevius: Fixed a crash when using NukeItem on the Power Source slot for a Titanium client.

Meaning mobs for FG/CG have a 100% greater chance of droping items... or they will drop the items 100% of the time?


Woohoo, no more...

"Loading... Please Wait"
"You have entered The Nexus"
"Reed goes into a berserker's frenzy!"
"Reed is no longer in a berserker's frenzy"

It appears that RNG that made all mobs drop loot 100% of the time was fixed. Just need time now to do source code update again with the 30k hp being a big motivation to get the update soon.

after /ran 100 resulting in -44, we *hopefully* all the issues are worked out of the new patch, and it should be safe for hunter to update. The cool thing about this is the random number generator should be more dynamic.

More dynamic means that Warriors won't have a sad face when only leather is dropping?

Lol, noone in OOC believed me last night when I was claiming that EVERY NPC I killed in PoTimea was dropping a piece of armor.

I ran to a few custom zones doing #npcstats and saw every npc had an item, which was bad, so I quickly reverted back.

Since another update in the source code, its now working properly as intended. You can now zone with over 30k hp and stay full/current hp from what you were before zoning, without your HP dropping down to 30k. NPCs also appear to be dropping at the correct % again as well with this update.

Enjoy!
