View Full Version : PoK Door Wierdness

I've been playing a couple weeks without issue, using PoK to travel mostly. Today I went to click on the 'Grobb' door, it didn't work. So I checked the doors table, strangely the dest_zone column for 'POKGROPORT500' was 'NONE'. I thought that was weird since it's been working for the past couple weeks fine, I've been zoning to Grobb quite often. So I even loaded up a backup of my old db from last week, it too shows 'NONE' for the Grobb door.

Changing the dest_zone to 'Innothule' fixed the problem but I'm curious, how was it working previously? Is there another way for doors to work? And what could have possibly happened to break it?

Thanks

Doors can be handled here as well: https://github.com/EQEmu/Quests-Plugins/blob/master/quests/poknowledge/player.pl#L9

..though, I don't see a Grobb override.


Have you switched client versions during this time?

Thanks for pointing that script out. Forgot about this problem until today!

I have switched clients a few times from Titanium to UF and now I'm on the latest RoF client supported. I just noticed my Erudin and Paineel ports in PoK were broken too. No link in the DB but I did see the reference in the quest script. I'll have to tinker with it some.

Please let me know how you fix this when you get a chance because my Erudin stone is broken in POK on my server as well. The odd thing is that it works in UF but not ROF.

As Uleat posted earlier a perl script handles zones that have been redesigned in later expansions. You're missing quests/poknowledge/player.pl that would relocate you. So either change the database entry or add the updated* perl script.

Ahh thank you!
