Out of combat regen rates.

[KLS]

I think we can add something in, though it probably wont be right away. Regardless of that: thanks for the code submission... even if we don't use the exact code it got us talking about it and hopefully it brings with it a solution to the problem.

This would be great on the solo server, since its hard to balance a hit vs. regen and the up time between battles.

I still have access to EQLive so can answer questions about it.

What Sony did, (to reduce down time) was to set up a hyper rest mode when you were out of combat for a period of time. If the mob is considered a raid mob, then it would take about 4.5 minutes to put you into "rest mode", if not - it takes roughly 15 seconds.

While in that hyper rest mode, you'd experience an excellerated HP and mana regeneration while sitting - which is broken the minute you get attack, stood up, or entered combat (please note - being on a mount is considered sitting).

Also another note - not that I'm asking for it nor do I play/cheerlead for warriors, but they had an additional bonus to their regeneration to address the number of hit points they were able to build up. I do not have any specific numbers but I can guarantee that all classes now have an enhanced healing over time downtime and that it especially helped those classes that have an extra regen based on class.

I will see what I can find current number wise on the everquest forums.

I still play on EQLive - and will continue to do so until the emulator has been perfected. So if you have questions - feel free to ask.

Having been involved with the project on and off for ages now - I have to say kudos to the programmers still working hard on this endeavor - it's come a hell of a long way from where it use to be.

OOC regen should not be active if you have a dot or are diseased. Atleast that is the way it works on Live. I would like to see OOC regen implemented into the Emu. That is one of the features I actually miss.

while I have not writen any custom code, I find an alternative fix for out of combat regeneration. I gave my players clicky heal stones, which heal for large ammount of hp but take a WHILE to cast. Thsi basicly substitutes out of combat recovery, while preventing you from using such stone in combat due to very long cast time

[ChaosSlayer]

so, are we going to see this amazing feature- the OOC regeneration -implemented soon?

the fact that client does had the "box" is truly irrelevant- just check if player is not on the agro list of any mob, and he in fact is not - the reg/mana goes up by the variable % specified in the rules.
Having a dot on your person should not matter at all

oh Cavedude - I just downloaded your peq DB.. and I hope it includes all the latest things, like watermaps and whatever =)

Unfrotunately.. I can't seem to find instruction how to install it...

Th very first I did it was using the CVS... but nwo since I have the sql file - is there a simpler way of turning it into an actual db?

thanks much =)

[KLS]

I haven't added PC regen yet, this is true. NPC do have ooc regen tho! Hopefully someday soon we can do pc regen it's a bit more complicated than npc regen though.

[ChaosSlayer]

update: oh Cavedude I have installed the Db i downlaoded from your main site and it is missing some of recent changes... I think - in particular there is no rules or variables section at all...

oh thanks KSL for looking into that =)

it would be good feature to have wihotu going crazy of %% rates for general hp/mana reg just to reduce downtime

[cavedude]

You need to use the newest (correct) CVS for that data. The releases don't have them.

On EQLive, if you are dotted or diseased PC OOC Regen *will not* engage until it is cured or has run it's course. That's why players squeal like a pig for a cure when they are tashed or malo'd.
