I just used what was there - the Sirens Bane and all its "look-a likes" (Sea King,Golden Maiden, etc) are "fall through". the FV boat (Maidens Voyage) has only the ramp leading up to the boat solid. All other boats are solid; barrel-skiffs (all skiffs), Bloated Belly, Etc.
Icebreaker (Iceclad ship) was my favorite - it is solid, and since it doesn't zone, I was able to re-create it with its full route.

I got it, thank you Angelox.
In other words with exeption of Icebraker , all the larger ships (from OOT and Eruds Sea) are non solid, but all the small things (like rafts) are.

What is Bloated Belly? I don't rememeber that one...

Well, I finally got a system for ships up an running, or I should say "we" because without Qadar, I would have never done it.
We already have a working/ridable boat from butcher > oot > freporte, and currently building the ride back to butcher, tweaking everything as we go.
These boats will run "on schedule" regardless of zone status (dynamic or static), so zoning with dynamic zones will work just as well, and everything stays in sync (no "outside night/day scripts" this time ).
The system it self will work with the current EqEmu source, will adapt to any database, and so far is fail proof. We have customized some things to look better, but not really needed.
Hopefully, We'll have it all done withing a few weeks, and posted in the new AX_CLASSIC database for download.

Has there been any further development on this? I've installed the 0.7.0-1110a Server Pack version for PEQ, and I've tried testing the Freeport/BB boat. The one in Freeport seems to go around the zone, and the pathing is wrong. Plus it isn't solid, and I can't ride on it.

I've also tried Les' installer for the Angelox Classic Database, but there are no boats coming at all.

I really miss boats, and I would love to have a working version for PEQ.
