Level 61-100 Zones?
 

I had an idea, there are no zones that are lvl 61-100, players at lvl 70 would have to fight greenies to level. I was looking at lavastorm and figured no one ever goes there, so why not make that a lvl 61-70 zone. I went through EQ Admin and seen the NPC Types screen with there level and hp. Yet it don't say what zone they are in. What would be an easy way to level everything in lavastorm? Then I think I would hit Najena next with 71-80. Why is this in the development forum? Well if I get some help trying to level them and make them higher lvl zones, I could share it with anyone else that agrees :p

1 other thing, with EQ2 coming out next fall, they was thinking of putting it up to level 200, why not do that with EQEmu? More levels = more gameplay. I bet I could find some good zones to put them lvls in.

Just think of the raids you could have, one zone that could be lvl 200, if they add them lvls, could be fearplane or hateplane. That would be one hell of a raid!

edit: Wrong message..oops :)

I got an idea.. why not add mirrors to zones and think of it as another dimention.. it would be very easy and the only hard thing would be is to spawn all the zones..


like you could /zone bloodlavastorm and it would be the same zone as lavastorm but with red sky (plane of fear zheader) and always raining blood. then it could have 60-100 lvl mobs.

same for all zones.



(btw i got this idea like 2 years ago when i was playing real EQ.. was a cool idea at the time too)

That would be an awsome idea ;) I know lvling all mobs in lavastorm, just finding them, might take a while to do, I would be willing to do that, I am sooooo hooked on this emu! I would just need the information on how to do that. I was trying some very dumb ideas that didn't work :p.

Well it would take 5 seconds to get the real eqlive spawn data from lavastorm (or any zone) using the new spawn collector so just leveling them would be easy (might wana add cool loot too hehe)... or change there size to make all the mobs bigger.

Kewl kewl. All I do is log in varents EQ servers and go to lavastorm while the spawn collector is running in backround?

About the loot, i would probably make up some items, like on my server, I have the Newbie Slayer and Newbie Slayer Part 2, hehe

yes thats pretty much how it would be done but its not going to be released (at least not yet, and no plans to yet). we have a few people on the inside collecting spawns for all the zones (it gets the spawns drawdes DB doesnt have, and collects all the spawns for zones that doesnt have any)...


You will probably see some of the collected spawn files poping up around the release of 0.3.2.

I might be dreaming....there a way I can just go to lavastorm on my server and level everything to 65 or something and save that information?

keep dreaming :(

awww shux, okey. Should add that feature ;)

found a way to do it!
 

I found a easy, but slow, way to get all the spawns in lavastorm anywhere around lvl 61 to 70. All I did was go around lavastorm and did #showstatus, it said its NPCID for FQAdmin, I went to FQAdmin and the numbers are right. Is there a formula for hp with levels? I was looking at hill giants and they times there level by 120 to get their hp, i might see how that works.

you can use my quest helper and just do a search npcid by zone , it will get you all npcids of a zone along with their names

it makes an illegal operation when i use :( If I can figure out the problem, that would really help me making Najena into a 71-80 zone so I don't have to go through it all looking :p

hehe its because you need many little things .NET framework , MyODBC , go to eqemu.shonomercy.net in the how to's section its explained here

I got them, i posted in your thread and u said it might not be compatible with all systems :(

Boosting up my server, Hardy's Server: Home of the Newbie Slayer!, trying out lavastorm see if it worked, if you get on I will make ya lvl 65 to try it out and see if hp's on mobs seem right.

Ops, after I get lavastorm back to 0 status, had it 200 so no one would kill stuff while i tried to work, hehe

I tested out Lavastorm, and it works great. Now I am getting back on Admin and making all spawns to size 15. Mobs hit for about 190dmg, so its about right for their lvl ;) Now to get that quest thing to work, hehe *bonk Stormgod* :p

Server will probably stay up all night, working on getting Najena spawn information atm

I guess my idea was a hit :) Ariak is starting to mirror zones now hehe.

It would be neat now to take all those places that look like they 'should' be zonelines and convert them to entrances to hellish alternate universes!

:-)

Oh, the wonderous possibilites...

by just changing sky fog and things we can like rain or snow , we could really create an alterate dimension a little like what planes are supposed to be , our own planes of power hehe

I think Ariak should use mine, and make them mirrored, would save him alot of time by me doing it, hehe. Haven't heard back from him yet on that idea :p

heh i planned on setting mirror if fear to set 75-100 zone called NonMelee long name of NonMelee Plane

basically its unknown god that does all the damage from dd falling ds ae etc.. lol

if its possible id like to get someone thats good on setting world data npcs etc to talk to set this. i tried but i cant create zone data :P

Well I can't be the judge if mine is good, hehe. I could probably help ya out though, since GMs are an ally everywhere, I can get the spawns fairly easy. :) Also if I could get that questhelper to work, I could have been done with my database, hehe.
