Just a bit of advice. Alot of the zone crashes seem to be related to bad zone lines.

Even in the "complete" databases such as TCSMyworld ive found many of the zone points to just be completley screwed.

Any time you zone at the zones safe point seems to make that zone about 10 times more likely to crash. On my server I've noticed that zones that have 100% fixed zone lines hardly ever crash.

Might be worth a look if you havent dont it yet. Almost all of the "Default" zone lines need ot be manually corrected :(

Everytime I try to log on Brightblade recently, eqgame.exe has an error. Anyone else getting this?

eqgame has performed an illegal operation and will now close. yep. me. thats why i havent been on in so long

To the people that were getting the eqgame error please try to login again and let me know if it still happens.

Thanks

Hi! I have been two days without play and when I have gone to play in the screen to select character appears that the zone is unavailable.
The server is crashed?

Over the weekend the server locked up for some reason. I restarted it this morning all seems to be working again.

BB is real fun....I'm a 65 war/41 Paladin there, and I love it...

Except for :

-Stone Etched Mallets...
-Soul Devourers of any kind....
On other servers, both of these weapons caused lag and deleting them helped a little. I am not sure if it will help BB, but sometimes they do make the game unfun for people who like to use "real" items.
-A lot of weapons have -=Archery=- as a skill....that EQEmu, the database, or your server?
-DMG bug: What you see on your screen...You get hit x2 for...(e.g. I was in earth, 100% hp, 7.9k hp, no aa's. Was hit ONCE for 1172 (towering guard of the council or whatever) and I died instantly...I was at 100% hp also...

Good things:

-Lots of zones!! :D
-(kinda not good, but its kewl!!!!) When you die...YOU GAIN EXPERIENE! YOU HAVE GAINED A LEVEL. WELCOME TO LEVEL 65!!!
That happened to me tonight.../woot...

Keep up the good work Con....Server 0wnz...


P.S. Your server does great, It killed Fish Wolf Dimensions server :P GRATS! that server was good...but now it suxx0rz!!!

Re: BB
 

See the reason they hit so hard is because a while back people were haveing so much ac. I take a look into change or reduceing the damage that the npcs use. As for the 2 weapons. I will look into removeing them or nurfing them atleast =) As for the arch skill. The items had came that way. I just havent had time to try and correct them. Perhaps someone would be willing to send me an updated itemdb. As for if I pull the dumped items they will still have in all the hacked or twinked items in it. Not sure how you got exp from die will have to look into that one too =)

Perl and Quests coming soon. working on setting it up atm.

And for those wondering why I havnent switched to the 0.5.3 dr2 is because if I do switch all the chars will be lost =(

Re: BB
 

Did I miss a discussion about the character table changing between 5.3dr1 and 5.3dr2?

Well from the new database that moveing world builders made is that you will loose you chars if you make the switch and warned us of that. I tested this morning and with the new version it infact didnt notice any of my chars that had been there.

The link to the db is here.

OK, I don't see any difference in the table definition, but there is a change in the profile. Looks like I'll have to write another conversion program.

Conan: Suppose someone wrote a conversion program to take the chars from 5.3DR1 to 5.3DR2....

Would you know anyone who would like to test it? :-)

Sure I will glady test it. Just let me know =)
