Thanks for the response Trevius,
One thing I did not see you reference is 2 like aug failure.
With the old system let's assume we have 3 like augs, heroic resist stone III. If you wanted to have all like augs in an item, you would have to put 2 place holder augs in the top 2 slots then insert the hrIII. You would then remove the middle slot aug and insert the 2nd hrIII. Rinse and repeat for the last and top aug. If you did not use a place holder in the top 2 slots, the hrIII would tak the top slot and not allow the same aug to be placed in the 2nd or 3rd slot. A poster above said with the new system they could not aug same augs together.
Edit. I just confirmed, you get the error "you cannot place two duplicate gems in the same item"
I tried different variations and same error.
Yes, that sounds like an exploit from what I can tell and I see no reason to support an exploit from a previous client. More likely, we should fix the exploit in the older clients as well! If you are using augments as intended on the server, then the people managing the content should adjust the augs in question to work in a legit way instead of requiring an exploit/bug. It sounds like there are already a few suggested solutions to this from the server side of things by simply making variations of these augs.
Epic is slot type 21. The mouse hover tip on the Buy Now button says to click to open marketplace to purchase special ornamentation ability. Shows this on default UI with MQ2 unloaded also.
That was my guess for the slot type that was causing this problem. Slot 20 and 21 are for Ornamentation and Special Ornamentation. Since Ornamentations are now supported in the newest source, I would recommend moving the augs that use these slot types to another slot type. I discuss it fairly thoroughly in this thread:
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?p=236202#post236202Though, those slot types should (in theory) be fine to use for other augs without getting that buy now button. I haven't seen that button show up after using these on my server yet, but I think I only tried slot 20, not 21 so far. I will do some more testing on it and see if I can resolve whatever issue that is.
2) Extended Target Window doesnt seem to work, any UI, no matter what we do. Happens with or without MQ2.
3) Aforementioned run speed issues
I have fixed the Extended Target Window in the latest source updates from today.
I am not clear on the run speed issue yet, because I am not sure what you are referring to. Using SoE and SoW seem to increase run speed fine. Are the speed clickies you are referring do something other than a run speed buff? I don't think I have tried bard songs yet for run speed, so maybe that is it?
