NPC scaling/maxlevel interaction

If you are using the maxlevel field to scale NPC level dynamically and the NPC is not its base level the maxhit and health get a bit wonky. In this example I am using a level 5 NPC with a maxlevel of 6.

It looks like everything else is scaling properly except for the HP/Maxhit.

Did you ever figure out what was going on with this? I'm seeing the same issue.

It looks like it might have been a bug with NPCs with a 0 scale rate or under level 25.
I submitted a pull request with a fix.

I haven't updated my source in awhile but as far as I know this is still a bug.

C++ is chinese to me so I just changed my zone_controller.pl to point towards the new table that #scale is using since I was already using it to scale player pets.

Code:

sub LoadScaling{

        $connect = plugin::LoadMysql();

        $query = "SELECT

                npc_scale_global_base.level,

                npc_scale_global_base.type,

                npc_scale_global_base.ac,

                npc_scale_global_base.hp,

                npc_scale_global_base.accuracy,

                npc_scale_global_base.slow_mitigation,

                npc_scale_global_base.attack,

                npc_scale_global_base.min_dmg,

                npc_scale_global_base.max_dmg,

                npc_scale_global_base.hp_regen_rate,

                npc_scale_global_base.attack_delay,

                npc_scale_global_base.special_abilities

                FROM

                npc_scale_global_base

                ORDER BY npc_scale_global_base.level, npc_scale_global_base.type";

        $query_handle = $connect->prepare($query);

        $query_handle->execute();

        while (@row = $query_handle->fetchrow_array()){ $SD[$row[0]][$row[1]] = [@row]; }

        #quest::gmsay("[ZC] - Scaling Definitions have been reloaded..", 18);

}
