common damage from attack.cpp
Changes:
Moved death and other checks to the bottom to allow proper damage message generation in the case of the damage still killing the mob.
Made hits that dealt no damage to not interrupt spells.

got knocked down to 2nd post due to length

next, fixing the death struct, need to update all instances of it to my knowledge.

struct Death_Struct
{
/*000*/	int32	spawn_id;
/*004*/	int32	killer_id;
/*008*/	int32	corpseid;	// was corpseid
/*012*/	int32	bindzoneid;	// was type -- was attack_skill
/*016*/	int32	spell_id;
/*020*/ int32	attack_skill;	//was bindzoneid -- switched by Ailia
/*024*/	int32	damage;
/*028*/	int32	unknown028;
};

now preventing the client from displaying damage message from the death packet it was sent since the server is generating the damage message instead.

void NPC::Death(Mob* other, sint32 damage, int16 spell, SkillType attack_skill) {

	mlog(COMBAT__HITS, "Fatal blow dealt by %s with %d damage, spell %d, skill %d", other->GetName(), damage, spell, attack_skill);
	
	if (this->IsEngaged())
	{
		zone->DelAggroMob();
#if EQDEBUG >= 11
		LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug,"NPC::Death() Mobs currently Aggro %i", zone->MobsAggroCount());
#endif
	}
	SetHP(0);
	SetPet(0);
	Mob* killer = GetHateDamageTop(this);
	
	entity_list.RemoveFromTargets(this);

	if(p_depop == true)
		return;

	BuffFadeAll();
	
	EQApplicationPacket* app= new EQApplicationPacket(OP_Death,sizeof(Death_Struct));
	Death_Struct* d = (Death_Struct*)app->pBuffer;
	d->spawn_id = GetID();
	d->killer_id = other ? other->GetID() : 0;
//	d->unknown12 = 1;
	d->bindzoneid = 0;
	d->spell_id = spell == SPELL_UNKNOWN ? 0xffffffff : spell;
	d->attack_skill = 231; // prevent client from displaying extra hit message
	d->damage = damage;
	app->priority = 6;
	entity_list.QueueClients(other, app, false);

and again for client death

void Client::Death(Mob* other, sint32 damage, int16 spell, SkillType attack_skill)
{
	if(dead)
		return;	//cant die more than once...
	int exploss;

	mlog(COMBAT__HITS, "Fatal blow dealt by %s with %d damage, spell %d, skill %d", other->GetName(), damage, spell, attack_skill);
	
	//
	// #1: Send death packet to everyone
	//

	if(!spell) spell = SPELL_UNKNOWN;
	
	SendLogoutPackets();
	
	//make our become corpse packet, and queue to ourself before OP_Death.
	EQApplicationPacket app2(OP_BecomeCorpse, sizeof(BecomeCorpse_Struct));
	BecomeCorpse_Struct* bc = (BecomeCorpse_Struct*)app2.pBuffer;
	bc->spawn_id = GetID();
	bc->x = GetX();
	bc->y = GetY();
	bc->z = GetZ();
	QueuePacket(&app2);
	
	// make death packet
	EQApplicationPacket app(OP_Death, sizeof(Death_Struct));
	Death_Struct* d = (Death_Struct*)app.pBuffer;
	d->spawn_id = GetID();
	d->killer_id = other ? other->GetID() : 0;
	//d->unknown12 = 1;
	d->bindzoneid = m_pp.binds[0].zoneId;
	d->spell_id = spell == SPELL_UNKNOWN ? 0xffffffff : spell;
	d->attack_skill = 231;
	d->damage = damage;
	app.priority = 6;
	entity_list.QueueClients(this, &app);
