Zone.exe patched for with loot fix

[Trumpcard]

Heres a recompiled 3.12 zone.exe with several fixes.

Note: I forgot to take a cout out of the zone.exe, so you'll get a message
when the Loot variable is set in the zone system out. I'll fix it and repost the exe later with the cout.

Here's whats included

Neotokyo
FIX: Lifetaps
FIX: Shrink/growth
FIX: XP Bugs
FIX: Right Click Fizzles

Quester
FIX: Hand to hand weapons

Trumpcard
FIX: Looting bugs

Tamarae
FIX: Avatar Proc bug and neutralize magic weapon add

Todo: Roll in Questers proc code, I had some problems with it the first time I tried it, so I will work on getting it in this weekend. Also I'd like to roll Wiz's feign death fixes in if they havent made it in yet and changes to Wesquests.

I'd like to know what other changes have been merged in to the code, and what havent, so if anyone has a code fix/change they want to see merged, post it here or ask for it, and I'll roll it into the code, recompile, post the changed zone.exe/world.exe, and provide the updated code files and try to get them over to kathgar/image/quag so they can roll them into starteam for the next releases.



For my loot change
. To use the probability multiplier feature, do a mysql>insert into variables values ('LootDropMod','<multiplier number>');
where the number is the number you want to increase loot drops by.. If you dont like the frequency things are dropping in the database, up this number..

If you dont set the value thats fine, it will default to 1 (standard database set probability) You can change it on the fly to without bouncing zones, as I have it set now, it will be grabbed everytime the spawn is created. I'll change it later to be used globally so it's only read/set once. Though its not a big performance hit reading it each time, little things stack up over time.

Heres the updated zone.exe.. This is a heavy beta (I havent tested all the fixes to verify they work in this zone.exe), so use at your own risk, but post any bugs, comments, etc.

Updated Zone.exe

Heres the updated source code files for anyone that wants compile them, modify them, etc. Send me a PM if you want my email address to update them and mail them back.

Source files


If anyone is interested enough, I'll put up a CVS server to make things easier to check changes in/out of..

If you want to check the changes out ahead of time, log onto to 'The Halls of Paranor'.

Thanks everyone and keep those updates coming !
