NP KLS. I am sure most of it works without the rules. I was just noting it to help keep everyone's server having up to date rules table.

And Wiz, thanks a ton for this code! I really love seeing other server admins sharing the custom code changes they have made. I think sharing like that can only help make this community and emulator better overall. It really is amazing how far this emulator has come in the past 6 years. I remember checking it out when it first started and it was barely even playable. There is no way it could have come so far these past few years without help from people like you, Wiz. So, again, thanks!

KLS, if there is any way you can think of that I could help with getting new map files created, let me know, please! Like, if you guys figure out a way to do it, but need help cranking out the 400+ zones worth of maps, I can help. I am pretty technical and am anal about making sure things are done correctly. I am VERY excited at the possibility of a new way to create .map files. I assume it will allow us to create them for all zones including the newest Titanium zones which currently lack maps. THAT would be amazing! There are quite a few zones that I would love to use on my custom server and so, obviously I can't wait to get my hands on the .map files for them! Exciting stuff hehe. LOL, I almost want to get one of them customized just so it is ready as soon as the .map file is available for it (dreadspire).

trevius, a way that I always get a complete list of current rules in the DB is to use 2 commands:

#rules reset - resets all rules to default values
#rules store default - saves the current ruleset to the DB as "default"


Works for me.

Thanks! Never tried the commands in game for rules. That could be very helpful. Nice little tip there!

I just installed 1110 and was testing the added fear code and see that even when you have multiple mobs in camp and the first one you are fighting gets below the flee hp limit, it flees. Isn't only the last mob alive in the camp supposed to flee? I mean c'mon, what are the others gonna think when he tries to take off and there still there trying to kill you and he's running away? (There yellin at em.. Hey you pussy, get back here and die with honor!!! ) But seriously, on live is that not how it works or I am wrong, or do I need to change a setting somewhere?

I think mobs always fled if they were injured. Self-preservation. It's when YOU were below 10% that they would stand and fight til they kicked your ass in, no matter their health level.

I think Aramid is correct.

Another thing I have noticed with this code is that snare doesn't seem to work the same as it did last time I played on live. Snare on a fleeing NPC on live would cause it to just turn around and stand there and not actually run at all. But, I have heard reports that all snares seem to do is slow them down slightly if at all.

Also, it appears that if you adjust the rule_values setting from 20 down to 10, it causes all sorts of weird bugs with mobs just warping around instead of running and causing all kinds of craziness lol. My players weren't very happy after a day of that! Finally, I just went ahead and disabled fleeing by setting the rule to -1 and that seemed to work for disabling it. I don't know why setting it to 10% hps would cause the strange issues I was getting reports on, but it definitely seemed bad.

My Wife still plays on Live (80 Warrior) and she said I was correct. Trev, you too are correct that if the mob was snared it would only turn around and not move, rooted of course would cause it to fight till the death.

Anyway, I wonder if it behaves this way on Wiz's system, Wiz?

You are 100% correct, going back a few years. Back in the day when I first started I distinctly remember orcs fleeing from orc camps in Misty. The reason why, is often in the chaos I would forget about one, and it would eventually find me (usually when I was trying to heal)

However, it does appear this was changed at some point. Trying it out on Live this morning did not result in the same behavior I remember.

Yeah, I probably should have qualified that I haven't played EQ since 2005

Thanks CD.
