Multiple questions and issues.

[jaspen]

I want to first start off by saying thanks for all the help you guys have given so far. There appears to be a great community here and it is greatly appreciate it. I hope one day I can contribute in some form.

Let me know if it is general preferred to have multiple threads of single topics versus one thread with multiple topics like this one. I try and not have the appearance of a spammer.

I use a new windows server build from 4-18-2016. I test everything on both a RoF and UF client. For the below I also copied over my VM and ran every single update using eqemu_update.pl. It did break my bots but the purpose was to verify if the below was a problem with something being outdated.

1. Charms do not work. They display item descriptions but do not have any stats. They also do not change the stats of my character. I checked just in case it was a display bug or something.

2. For spell effects, some focus effects and several AA abilities, I get Unknown DB String messages. The UF client will often show a completely wrong spell on an item. Had a newbie weapon showing a 4000 nuke proc. I had a posted before about detrimental focus effects showing zero in the item descriptions and I am thinking all of the above items are potentially linked somehow?

In the thread about the focus effects someone mentioned spells_us.txt (Which mine is empty but my spells_en.txt is not) and another knowledgeable gentleman, dbstr_us.txt? If so, is there a way to generate, or a place to download, a proper version of these files that is compatible with base installations of EQEmu for both the RoF and UF client? I have not and currently do not plan to modify any spell, AA abilities or foci.

3. The next part could definitely be my lack of knowledge on content. I haven’t played EQ in 5 years and haven’t done LDON even longer.

I have been unsuccessful in getting LDON raids. The raid recruiters do not respond to me, hails or right clicking, but the adventure recruiters do. I have tried South Ro, North Ro and Everfrost so far. I have set MinNumberForRaid and MinNumberForGroup to one and restarted the server. I have also invited a friend to a raid to test. I notice even after the change it still required two people to get a group mission. I assume my problem is not enough actual people in the raid? I did summon bots and not sure if they count here.

4. With number 3 out of the way, I gave up and summoned Shard of Eternal Pain to test out. I always wanted one of those on live and never got to test one out. The problem is that when it tries to pro I get the error message “Unable to find data for pet SwarmPetLDONSar.” This is the only proc I have had issues with. The shard does show in the database. I assume there is a possible data entry error for Shard of Eternal Pain?

That is it for now and I realize it is a lot. I don’t mind doing some leg work so feel free to suggest me testing something, or trying something out, then reporting back my findings. I try and research online before posting questions and have solved a lot that way but the above I haven’t found any solutions.

As usual, thanks in advance for taking the time to check out my post and help out.
