0.7.0 Released (Titanium Compatible)

[cavedude]

Just compiled 0.7.0 and as I was copying everything over, a thought occured to me... what about the differences in the spell files between 0.6.x, Titanium, and down the line Live? Will that cause problems?

This is great and everything but will any work still be put into 6.x?

If not I'll go out a pick up a copy I guess.

The server still supports the old 0.6.1+ client. That's what I have been using, no problems.

Until 0.7.0 is determined to be at least as stable as 0.6.6, 0.6.6 will still continue to get updates/fixes as they should back/forward port between the two pretty easily.

Anything before 0.6.6 is deprecated and is not maintained by the EQEmu project proper.

The spell file (on the server side) is only used to load the information into the server. So, like items, if the format changes we'll adjust the loading in of the information. Information for the spells will probably not change very much.

As far as effects and such, that's all done on the client anyways, so you're client will do whatever it wants to do with the right information.

what is items.augslot1unk -> items.augslot4unk for ?? i'm missing them at our items table and they are listed at fieldlist.h to be loaded..

lol nm i'm blind :P

[mrea]

Fixed my problem

Still have the same bug as before though... moving to support

[aza77]

just copy all .conf files of the utils directory to your server dir that should fix it

I'm curious...does dynamic patch support extend to handling different types of packets, or just opcodes? I bring it up because I have code that allows dynamic packet handling that I use in the admin tool to decouple program logic from packet structures (though, of course, using it involves a performance hit).
