Code changes in compiled zone.exe not working?

[BobThompson]

I am running into an interesting problem that hopefully someone more knowledgeable about how EQEMU works can answer. I have made changes in the zone code and successfully compiled the exe, but when I load up the server with the new zone.exe none of the changes seem to have any effect.

Just to test this out further I changed the AC calculation to return a static number, but this again had zero effect on the characters in game.

Any help would be appreciated.

STats like HP, MAna , AC, etc are calculated in the client for the client. There is no way to chance what the client sees.

Ahh, this I didn't know. Thanks for the answer.
