I think we can add something in, though it probably wont be right away. Regardless of that: thanks for the code submission... even if we don't use the exact code it got us talking about it and hopefully it brings with it a solution to the problem.

This would be great on the solo server, since its hard to balance a hit vs. regen and the up time between battles.

I still have access to EQLive so can answer questions about it.

What Sony did, (to reduce down time) was to set up a hyper rest mode when you were out of combat for a period of time. If the mob is considered a raid mob, then it would take about 4.5 minutes to put you into "rest mode", if not - it takes roughly 15 seconds.

While in that hyper rest mode, you'd experience an excellerated HP and mana regeneration while sitting - which is broken the minute you get attack, stood up, or entered combat (please note - being on a mount is considered sitting).

Warrior
 

Also another note - not that I'm asking for it nor do I play/cheerlead for warriors, but they had an additional bonus to their regeneration to address the number of hit points they were able to build up. I do not have any specific numbers but I can guarantee that all classes now have an enhanced healing over time downtime and that it especially helped those classes that have an extra regen based on class.

I will see what I can find current number wise on the everquest forums.

I still play on EQLive - and will continue to do so until the emulator has been perfected. So if you have questions - feel free to ask.

Having been involved with the project on and off for ages now - I have to say kudos to the programmers still working hard on this endeavor - it's come a hell of a long way from where it use to be.

OOC regen
 

OOC regen should not be active if you have a dot or are diseased. Atleast that is the way it works on Live. I would like to see OOC regen implemented into the Emu. That is one of the features I actually miss.

while I have not writen any custom code, I find an alternative fix for out of combat regeneration. I gave my players clicky heal stones, which heal for large ammount of hp but take a WHILE to cast. Thsi basicly substitutes out of combat recovery, while preventing you from using such stone in combat due to very long cast time

so, are we going to see this amazing feature- the OOC regeneration -implemented soon? ;)

the fact that client does had the "box" is truly irrelevant- just check if player is not on the agro list of any mob, and he in fact is not - the reg/mana goes up by the variable % specified in the rules.
Having a dot on your person should not matter at all

Somebody's not reading the changelogs ;)

oh Cavedude - I just downloaded your peq DB.. and I hope it includes all the latest things, like watermaps and whatever =)

Unfrotunately.. I can't seem to find instruction how to install it...

Th very first I did it was using the CVS... but nwo since I have the sql file - is there a simpler way of turning it into an actual db?

thanks much =)

I haven't added PC regen yet, this is true. NPC do have ooc regen tho! Hopefully someday soon we can do pc regen it's a bit more complicated than npc regen though.

update: oh Cavedude I have installed the Db i downlaoded from your main site and it is missing some of recent changes... I think - in particular there is no rules or variables section at all...

oh thanks KSL for looking into that =)

it would be good feature to have wihotu going crazy of %% rates for general hp/mana reg just to reduce downtime

You need to use the newest (correct) CVS for that data. The releases don't have them.

On EQLive, if you are dotted or diseased PC OOC Regen *will not* engage until it is cured or has run it's course. That's why players squeal like a pig for a cure when they are tashed or malo'd.
