Forum Cleanup

[KLS]

Since someone else didn't unsticky things that were applied some time ago ahem MrScorp the forum has become rather cluttered and I'm not sure what still needs to be applied and what isn't. If your or someone else's thread isn't stickied and it has not been applied feel free to bump it.

Odds are if it's not stickied right now I've lost it. =p

I also just added a minor change to my own source that I think should be ok to add to the official source. Basically, it is just a minor change to allow recast timers for NPC spells to be longer than 1000 seconds. I am not sure why there is a limitation on it right now, but I set mine to 10000, which seems like a more reasonable limit. I doubt there would be many cases where a spell shouldn't be recast more than once every 3 hours, lol.

The way it is currently set, you can't set recast delay for longer than about 16 minutes, which is a little restrictive in certain cases.

I marked the single change in RED below. All it is, is changing 1000 to 10000.

zone\MobAI.cpp
void NPC::AI_Event_SpellCastFinished(bool iCastSucceeded, int8 slot) {
if (slot == 1) {
int32 recovery_time = 0;
if (iCastSucceeded) {
if (casting_spell_AIindex < MAX_AISPELLS) {
recovery_time += spells[AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].spellid].recovery_time;
if (AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].recast_delay >= 0){
if (AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].recast_delay <10000)
AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].time_cancast = Timer::GetCurrentTime() + (AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].recast_delay*1000);
}
else
AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].time_cancast = Timer::GetCurrentTime() + spells[AIspells[casting_spell_AIindex].spellid].recast_time;
}
if (!IsEngaged())
recovery_time += RandomTimer(2000, 3000);
if (recovery_time < AIautocastspell_timer->GetSetAtTrigger())
recovery_time = AIautocastspell_timer->GetSetAtTrigger();
AIautocastspell_timer->Start(recovery_time, false);
}
else
AIautocastspell_timer->Start(800, false);
casting_spell_AIindex = MAX_AISPELLS;
}
}

If there is a reason not to change this in the source, that is fine with me. I can set it myself each time. But, I figured there wasn't any reason to have it limited to 1000 in the first place. And, this is useful for setting discs in spell lists for NPCs.

I think the changelog for 1120 will need this bit of SQL added to it:

INSERT INTO rule_values VALUES (0, 'Character:SkillUpModifier', 100);
Else the rule won't be in the table. Though I think it still has a default that it uses if there's no rule value listed.

Correct me if I'm wrong =)

Not required but nice to have for people who like to modify rules via sql.
