and...now we're all havign this issue. Not with the zoning, but with our extended target windows. the game says we need to own underfoot. Thing is, we all had the extended target window until yesterday or this morning, now it's disappeared. It's not like we patched or anything, so what's the deal?
i tried changing accounts owned in account but that didnt do anything unless i have to restart server but that would make no sense, /camp desktop and back should be more than sufficient for account flags. I would understand if it was never there, but why would they all disappear now? Even on my GM account
I thought i was going to get it fixed when i found the other expansions setting (variables) thats in hex powers (-1), then doing the math setting it to include RoF for all, but that didn't work. However, before I realized my extended target window had also disappeared, I'd spent an hour trying to fix the zone-in from BFM to CR to no avail. It zones you in at a heading that will zone you right back out again, but no matter how I tried to make it take effect and regardless of the correct heading now showing in the db, it still zones in facing back out. grr. [if anyone's curious, most know 0 is base, 1 is 1, 255 is 8th expac, but the default 16383 is only 12th expac. from there it goes 32767, 65535, 131071, 262154, 524287. I searched all over and nothign had a list just one number or another. 255 was in one place associated with "all available" and another with just GoD. So i ended up searching for 16383 itself on google and eventually found that it and the other numbers mentioned in regards to expansions were all 1 lower than hexadecimal powers of 2. The lower numbers should look familiar 16, 32, 64, 128 etc.
NOw, these numbers dont coincide with expansion numbers, or 0 would be first not base game, 255 would be 8th not 7th etc..then it gets trickier when 16383 is neither the 14th nor the 13th expac, but the 12th (at least from the documentation i found) so after testing 524287 and finding it did not enable xtarget nor flag for UF, I took it up a few more notched to what I believe is the max the game can even process: 2097147. After 2097148 numbers start going negative (discovered in bazaar after recent years' inflation in particular) so, that's what I'm going to go with and cross my fingers.
I know on Live they can take certain features and give them to everyone, i.e. change teh expansion that feature counts as, but I haven't been able to find anything like that for extended target in eqemu yet. I also havent tried zoning to UF+ with a non-GM account yet to see if that's an issue or just the extended target. This expansions owned flag is a pita though, and only so far restricted to the extended target window access (and regardless of expansion flags). We all had it when we made toons, so it wasn't the client game folder. We all play from different computers, so it's not a corruption in a file in the game folder or we wouldn't all be affected. I didn't change anything that was remotely near anything that SHOULD affect this in SQL, all I've done since before this began was create recipes and NPC-specific .pl files.
To test this out I just now ported a non-GM account with me to brell's rest, no problem, so the expansion is fully available. That leaves the question stil labout what happened to the extended target windows. They should be usable in eqemu, there's a # command to set how many targets someone can have on it even, and that goes through without issue. What could this be?
