Secrets of Faydwer - Bug Tracking

[trevius]

Thanks for the reports, but remember when testing SoF and reporting issues, it is very important that you are using the absolute latest updates from the SVN. While the binaries try to stay somewhat current, they can get behind fairly quickly considering how quickly the SoF updates come in at times.

Almost every issue you mentioned has already been corrected as of Revision 432, which is the current one ( quite a few updates since R408 ). See the change list here for recent updates:

I think the only issue you mentioned that hasn't been addressed yet is the issue with books. I haven't even tested them yet personally, but I would guess that we probably need to adjust the structure for them to work properly.

As for the hex you are seeing in your log files, that can be any number of things. Most of the stuff you see in there atm should be perfectly normal.

I think the bind traps are something specific to the new PEQ database updates. I am not exactly sure what they are, but I would guess they are something similar to the Illusionist I have set on Storm Haven. Basically, I use that NPC to move players from their spawn point so you don't get 20 characters all piling up on top of each other. Otherwise, it can get characters stuck and also causes heavy position updates to be sent out wasting a ton of bandwidth. I dunno if PEQ has them set to be invisible in Titanium, but if so, they might need to do something different to make them invisible in SoF. I think race 240 works fine for invisible NPCs no matter what client. Also, I think that the invis field in the spawn structure for SoF isn't found yet, but that is on the todo list.

Bind Traps were collecting from Live. We don't use them on PEQ, as we're not sure what they are used for. However, they and I noticed many other "trigger" type NPCs are visible using SoF and are not using 0.6.2 and Titanium. I figure that will be ironed out eventually

Couple things I noticed while playing on my server using SoF client. My server is at rev 437 using PEQ svn 4

Spell fizzles:

If you fizzle a spell the recast time on it seems extra long.

Bags:

If you purchase more bags from a vendor than you have open slots bags will start going into other bags.

Now please note I have not played on live in like 5 years and have been playing on the titanium client since it was first supported by the eqemu project. So that is pretty much what I know, and I am not sure if these are legit changes per live, or if they are bugs.

Animations:

Iksar monks have no throwing animation. Not sure if this applies to other races or not.

For archery, the archery animation works, but the arrow animation doesn't show. I do see the arrow in the Titanium client so maybe the SoF client doesn't recognize the SendItemAnimation()? Code from special_attacks.cpp:

void Client::RangedAttack(Mob* other) {
...
	DoAnim(animShootBow);
	SendItemAnimation(target, AmmoItem);
...
}

A few more bugs I have noticed:

Items such as "Silver Moon Wrist Wraps" that have a long cast time do not show the casting progress bar decrease until there is a few seconds left on the timer. This particular item has a 25 second cast timer and it does not start decreasing the timer until about 20 seconds into the cast.

Right clickable items that are labeled "Must Equip" are castable from inventory. You should have to put them into a slot to use them.

Disciplines don't seem to be working from my limited testing. They say I need to be out of combat, regardless if I am in combat or not.

That seems odd since many are designed specifically for being used in combat.
