coins weightless

[trevius]

Item weight is probably calculated client side, but I would kinda be surprised if coin weight was too. The thing that makes me think it might not be is because if you trade coin, it takes a few seconds before weight is actually updated. Not sure what is causing the delay though.

Was trying to set up a rule to have coins have a weght or not, they had it both with it set to true and false commented out that crap, still had the weight, and I couldn't find anything else on it, plus mq2docrack can let you walk around over encumbered, pointing towards it bring calculated client side (not sure if docrack will let you do it here, saw some code that should prevent it, or at least log it if you are moving while over encumbered

It's calculated client side, I'm not really sure why the client sometimes waits a few seconds after trades to update it's weight... another quirk of the client.

Oh sweet! I just figured out that coin reducing bags do already work client-side lol. Just do a #si 17209 and put the bag it summons into your main inventory slot while you have a bunch of coin weight on you (#givemoney 20000 0 0 0). It will reduce your weight a huge amount as it should. Since this is already handled client-side, we just need to add the code for it server-side and people can easily have a way for their players to have weightless coins by giving them a 100% weight reducing bag with bagtype set to 0. Even without adding the code for it, players will be able to walk the speed they should be walking, since walk speed from weight seems to be purely client-side. The only reason to add the code is so people don't fall off of things and die from the server killing them due to being overweight :P

But the client handles fall damage too =x

I guess you could either do that, or make them have a tribute item with 100% weight reduction a tribute slot. That way they don't have an item slot taken up.

As for falling... remove the packet for dealing fall damage? Not sure.

edit: now that I think about it, tributes might be useful for other things. You could give a dedicated slot on items for having stuff like see invis all the time on a worn effect. The only thing the client would have to do is *maybe* download a spell file, and when the item gets sent to the client it has see invis. I'll see what I come up with. :P

Secrets, fall damage is handled client side
