EQEMu Changelog (Started on Sept 24, 2003 15:50)
-------------------------------------------------------
== 04/20/2014 ==
Secrets: Changed the functionality of EQDEBUG cmake flag. It now suppresses logs, but shows crashes in any scenario when set to 1. It will also now show crashes even if the log system is disabled.
== 04/18/2014 ==
Akkadius: Added #command error message suppression for those who don't want to see 'Command is not recognized' constantly
- 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
== 04/15/2014 ==
Akkadius: Exported $client->SendMarqueeMessage(type, priority, fade_in, fade_out, duration, msg) - Will be available for simple plugin use
Akkadius: Exported $client->ExpeditionMessage(THIS, ExpdID, Message) - In use with custom expedition mod that will be released soon
== 04/12/2014 ==
Kayen: Fixed an with the slow mitigation code that would cause it to spam the message. Optimized the way the variable is handled for slow mitigation.
Required SQL: utils/sql/git/required/2014_04_12_SlowMitigation.sql
Note: This changes the variable type in the sql table from FLOAT to INT and updates your database.
(When setting slow mitigation 50 = 50%, 100 = 100% ect. You can also set > 100 which will cause slow to become haste now with appropriate in game msg given)
== 04/10/2014 ==
Kayen: Added 'no_target_hotkey' field to npc_types table. This will prevent the NPC from being targeted with F8 (Warning: Will also turn it's name YELLOW)
Kayen: Added a rule to make all (Player cast) Swarm Pets not targetable with F8 (nearest NPC) by default (Warning: Will also turn pets names YELLOW). This is semi-hack but it works.
Kayen: Player cast swarm pets can now be healed and buffed consistent with live.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_10_SwarmPetNotTargetableWithHotKey.sql
Required SQL: utils/sql/git/required/2014_04_10_No_Target_With_Hotkey.sql
Note: For the required new npc_types field you DO NOT need to set values for swarm pets if you enable the above rule.
== 04/09/2014 ==
Kayen: Implemented ability to use the actual live spell projectile graphics that are defined in the modern spell file.
*This is disabled by default. Recommend enabling if your server uses an UF+ spell file AND most of your players use UF+ clients.
Kayen: Expanded the PERL ProjectileAnim(mob, item_id, [IsArrow?, speed, angle, tilt, arc, IDFile]) so you can now just set the weapon model graphic IT####
Example: ProjectileAnim($npc, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, "IT10747") This will shoot an SK 2.0 sword.
Kayen: Updated wizard innate critical damage modifier to be from 20-70% of base damage (based on live parses)
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_09_SpellProjectileRule.sql
Note: This sql also contains a query to check if your spell file is compatible.
== 04/06/2014 ==
Uleat: Changed Mob::CanThisClassDualWield() behavior. This should let non-monk/beastlord dual-wielding classes attack with either fist as long as the other hand is occupied.
Notes:
See this thread for more information and to provide feedback:
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?p=229328#post229328== 04/05/2014 ==
Akkadius: Fix for the Fix for the Fix: Rule Combat:OneProcPerWeapon was created so that you can revert to the original proc functionality
for custom servers that have balanced their content around having more than 1 aug proc on weapons. By having this rule set to 'false' you revert this functionality.
This rule is set to 'true' by default as the original functionality from Live was intended to be
Akkadius: (Performance Adjustment) Removed AsyncLoadVariables from InterserverTimer.Check() in both zone and world. By watching the MySQL general.log file on mass zone idle activity, you can
see that the query 'SELECT varname, value, unix_timestamp() FROM variables where unix_timestamp(ts) >= timestamp' is called every 10 seconds. This function is loading
variables that are initially loaded on World and Zone bootup. When running a large amount of zone servers, the amount of MySQL chatter that is produced is enormous and
unnecessary. For example, if I ran 400 zone servers, I would see 3,456,000 unnecessary queries from all idle or active zone processes in a 24 hour interval.
Secrets: Added a rule to enable multiple procs from the same weapon's other slots if a proc is deemed to trigger, Defaults to true.
If Combat:OneProcPerWeapon is not enabled, we reset the try for that weapon regardless of if we procced or not.
This is for some servers that may want to have as many procs triggering from weapons as possible in a single round.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_05_ProcRules.sql
== 04/04/2014 ==
Kayen: Implemented 'Physical Resists' (Resist Type 9) to be consistent with live based on extensive parsing.
SQL will add new field to npc_types 'PhR' and fill in database with values consistent with observations.
Required SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_04_PhysicalResists.sql
== 04/03/2014 ==
Kayen: Implemented live like spell projectiles (ie. Mage Bolts).
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_04_03_SpellProjectileRules.sql
Note: The rules in this SQL are for setting the item id for the graphic used by the projectile on different clients.
== 04/01/2014 ==
demonstar55: Implemented ability for a merchant to open and close shop.
Lua quest functions: e.self:MerchantOpenShop() and e.self:MerchantCloseShop()
GM Commands: #merchant_open_shop (short: #open_shop) and #merchant_close_shop (short: #close_shop)
default to status 100, just in case you need to force the merchants status
Trevius: Fixed potential endless quest loop with EVENT_COMBAT and WipeHateList().
== 03/31/2014 ==
Uleat: Fix for unconscious skillups.
Uleat: Fix for crash issue with nullptr reference in recent Client::SummonItem() work.
Uleat: Added rule for GM Status check code in Client::SummonItem().
Note: Rule default is set to 250..but, implementation is on hold until load item code handles the database 'minstatus' field.
Uleat: Added RuleB(Bots, BotLevelsWithOwner). Bots will auto-update as their owner levels/de-levels. Appearance packets are sent to show the 'leveling effect' as well as updating client entities.
Trevius: Prevented an endless loop crash related to EVENT_TASK_STAGE_COMPLETE.
Optional Bot SQL: utils/sql/git/bot/optional/2014_03_31_BotLevelsWithOwnerRule.sql
Note: This sql is required to activate the optional behavior.
== 03/27/2014 ==
Kayen: SE_Gate will now use have a fail chance as defined by its base value in the spell data.

Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_03_27_SuccorFailRule.sql
== 03/22/2014 ==
Uleat: Moved the existing 'load_bots' and 'drop_bots' sqls into the emu git repository for the time being. Look to the
/utils/sql/git/bots/ folder to find them. The 'load_bots' sql has been updated to include the below fix, as well as
collecting the multiple files into one. This should allow HeidiSQL to now run it properly. (You will still need to
search for the optional scripts for the time being.)
Uleat: Fixed bot guild script failure. For existing bot databases only, use this sql file to update the affected table and view.
Required Bot SQL: 2014_03_22_BotGuildMember_ScriptFailureFix.sql
== 03/19/2014 ==
Kayen: Further refinements to root, charm, mez and fear behaviors - See commit message for full details

== 03/17/2014 ==
Uleat: Updated Client::SummonItem() to check for valid item combinations when augmentations are passed.
Uleat: Changed the return type of Client::SummonItem() from void to bool. Calling methods and APIs have not been update as yet.

Optional SQL: 2014/03/17_EnforceAugmentRules.sql
Note: This adds the rules Inventory:EnforceAugmentRestriction, Inventory:EnforceAugmentUsability and Inventory:EnforceAugmentWear.
If you run into script/recipe issues, running this sql file will set the default enforcement rules to false.
If you still run into issues, you may want to check that your scripts are not trying to augment non-common items.
Please post any failures as bugs and be sure to include the base item ID, as well as any augment IDs that you are using.
== 03/12/2014 ==
Kayen: Melee/Magic runes are now calculated as bonuses. Resolved issues with runes not working and not fading properly.
== 03/08/2014 ==
Kayen: Revision to lull/harmony/pacification code to be consistent with live based on extensive personal parsing.
*Lulls on initial cast do not check regular resists (MR ect) but only apply a flat ~7.5 % resist chance + level modifier
*If Lull is resisted, a second resistance check is made this time using regular resists and a charisma modifier (same as charm)
which if 'resisted' will cause the caster to gain aggro.

*If multiple roots on target. Root in first slot will always and only be check to break from nukes.
*If multiple roots on target and broken by spell. Roots are removed ONE at a time in order of buff slot.
*Roots on beneficial spells can not be broken by spell damage.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_03_04_RootRule.sql
== 03/03/2014 ==
demonstar55: Implemented deadly strikes and gave rogues higher innate throwing crit chance
New rules: Combat:RogueCritThrowingChance, Combat:RogueDeadlyStrikeChance, Combat:RogueDeadlyStrikeMod
Defaults should give fairly close to live results
== 03/02/2014 ==
Kayen: Revision to charm code to be consistent with live based on extensive personal parsing.
*Charisma ONLY effects the initial resist check when charm is cast with 10 CHA = -1 Resist mod up to 200 CHA
*Charisma DOES NOT extend charm durations.
Optional SQL: utils/sql/git/optional/2014_03_02_CharmRules.sql
demonstar55: Melee Crits, HoTs, DoTs messages should now be filtered correctly on all clients.
