To anyone who can compile the EQEmu CVS source..

[Drawde]

if it's not too much trouble, would they mind sending me some compiled binaries? (world and zone server, emusharemem.dll) ?

This would help me out quite a bit with world building as the 4.4 release code has a few annoying problems.

Does the current CVS have AC mitigation and fixed loot code?

[burthold]

I've got the latest binaries as of 6/20 on my site.

if you have any problems let me know. I'm working on a script to compile binaries every so often now.

Maybe, and uhm no.

Theres still a chance for your ac to turn a hit into a miss/block ect i believe, and mobs are still using the default hit chance.

There haven't been any loot changes, trump hasn't had the time. I did do some testing itemizing Vox, and just got more confused, because she did what i told her to.

Added 6 drops 100% chance
Scales set at 100%
Book set at 100%
Ice comet at 60%
The other 9 at 30%

Well she appears to be doing it correctly atleast, the 100's always drop, the spell usualy drops and the remaining slots get filled with whats left, i did wind up with quite a streak of scimtars but nothing too abnormal.

i'll work on it soon drawde, my weddings coming up in a week, so as you can imagine i've been busy as heck....

I've actually figured out how to pull the nightlydumps via a windows box. I just need to finish up some way to automate nightly or weekly compiles using vc++ 6.0

I've been checking CVS daily for changes, no changes since the last set of exe's I sent you burthold.
If there has been changes , they haven't been posted to CVS yet.

All of the changes to the current code that have been changed on the private server have been centered around getting the latest client to work, as far as I know.

I added the few fixes from this forum and compiled binaries.
Sent a copy to both Drawde and burthold.
Hope it helps :)

I've found a way to get loot tables working in the same way that they were before - To make a random
number of items drop, just set the multiplier in loottable_entries to the maximum number of items you
want to drop, then set the chance in loottable_entries to the % chance of each item dropping. So a multiplier
of 6 and chance of 50 would give an average of 3 items per drop.
Now I've worked it out, I realise this is better than the old system, as you can set the percentage chance
of items seperately from the number of items dropping.
Another thing I didn't realise is that items with a 100% chance of dropping will only drop once.
I assumed (wrongly) that if you had an item with 100% chance in a loot table with a multiplier, you'd just get
that item over and over again. However as you said, this is not the case - I set the multiplier for Vox to 6
and got the scales, tooth, book, spell and 2 random other items, rather than 6 scales as I'd expected.
So, it looks like the loot system doesn't need changing - it was just that I misunderstood how the new system worked.

Anyway, thanks for the files, tcsmyworld and burthold - they seem to work OK.

Thanks for the build. I'll post them up today.
