Ahh, I feel much better now...

This seems to be missing from lifetaps...where would one go and how would one add this back to lifetap effects in the source?

It looks like it's in zone/attack.cpp (http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/source/browse/trunk/EQEmuServer/zone/attack.cpp?r=732#3995):

// if spell is lifetap add hp to the caster
if (spell_id != SPELL_UNKNOWN && IsLifetapSpell( spell_id )) {
int healed = damage;

#ifdef EQBOTS

// Bot Liftap Heal
if(attacker && attacker->IsBot()) {
healed = attacker->GetBotActSpellHealing(spell_id, healed);
}
else

#endif //EQBOTS

healed = attacker->GetActSpellHealing(spell_id, healed);
mlog(COMBAT__DAMAGE, "Applying lifetap heal of %d to %s", healed, attacker->GetName());
attacker->HealDamage(healed);

#ifdef EQBOTS

if(attacker->IsBot()) {
entity_list.MessageClose(this, true, 300, MT_Spells, "%s beams a smile at %s", attacker->GetCleanName(), this->GetCleanName() );
}
else

#endif //EQBOTS

//we used to do a message to the client, but its gone now.
// emote goes with every one ... even npcs
entity_list.MessageClose(this, true, 300, MT_Emote, "%s beams a smile at %s", attacker->GetCleanName(), this->GetCleanName() );
}


We should be able to add something like this to the end:
entity_list.MessageClose(this, true, 300, MT_Say, "%s says 'Ahhh, I feel much better now...", attacker->GetCleanName());

We may also have to add one for the client (attacker) casting it to see "You say" instead of "Soandso says":
attacker->Message(MT_Say, "You say 'Ahhh, I feel much better now...'");

Works like a charm it seems, thanks!

You should really just send the string id since the client already has it, which is 12117. :)

I was originally going to go that route, but it only says Ahhh, I feel much better now..., not %1 says 'Ahhh, I feel much better now...' or You say 'Ahhh, I feel much better now...'. However, if there is a way to do that, it would definitely be the better way to go.
