That's right, Congdar. This wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that melee overflow was only occurring and pulling full zone trains based upon what was on the client's hatelist. I'd advocate putting the client hatelists back in if the issue were solved somehow, but it seems to be causing more trouble than it's worth for the time.

And yes, currently if you FD while a spell is being cast, it will hit you and nothing will happen. On Live, your FD would be broken and mobs would continue to attack you. AEs hitting you would have the same effect, they didn't have to be targeted spells.

If WhipeHateList() is added for escape, fading memories and FD, I think it will work exactly the way it does on live. FD won't pull full zone trains if the client hate list is wiped after they get the forgotten about you message.

The only case where I think it could still be an issue is if someone FDs and a mob walks back to it's spawn point. That is supposed to clear FD if it worked like live. But, if the issue is that the client hate list still exists when that happens, we can just add another WhipeHateList() there so it catches both player and NPC hate lists. I know I have seen the code for NPCs returning to their spawn point after they leave combat somewhere, but I can't find it atm. I will put the code here if/when I find it.

I just wanted throw out a couple of thoughts I was having about this.

Do memblur spell effects have this problem? How do those spells handle the hate lists?
What other memblur, fd, fade, etc. type effects should we consider before implementing this code?

Actually yes, I am pretty sure Memblur spells do have this problem lol. I just happened to be looking into something else last night and noticed the effect for memblur only wiping the hate list for NPCs. Which should mean that Memblur works for the first time currently in SVN since the hate lists were removed from players. But I posted a fix for it to work (I think it should anyway) even with hate lists being added to players as well as NPCs. So, that should resolve that issue and one other Memblur issue too I hope.

Funny that you posted this shortly after I posted that Memblur fix lol.

I have no problem bringing back hate lists for clients but:

1) If a npc loses all hate on a client the client should clear that npc from their table as well.
2) 1 can't apply if the client is computer controlled.

I am still trying to figure out why the wait timer setting isn't working.

So far, I have only seen 1 other issue with this that needs to be resolved before it could be submitted. For some reason heals and buffs are not causing OOC Regen to stop, so healers basically have unlimited mana in fights. I figure I can find out why in the heal aggro code.
