71-75 spells

I believe on your server you took the proc mod off of Johnthan's Provocation. If I added it back, would people have to download a new spells_us?

Some things that you change in that file will require the client to have to download them again to take effect, but that mostly is for cast time, mana cost, and a few other fields. Most of the settings are handled server-side, so you would only need to adjust them on the server and not require another download. But, at this point, we do have a fair number of custom adjustments to spells that are either broken or that were exploitable. If you needed to adjust any back, you should be able to just check your original SoF spell file and copy the values over.

The more adjustments you plan to do, the more it might be worthwhile to get an idea about how to handle the spell file for your server so you can make one on your own from scratch. Using a combination of the Titanium spell file and one from Live, it wasn't all too hard for me to get everything moved around once I figured out the best ways to do it (days of messing with it). You can use a combination of the database, the import/export scripts, the ailia/bleh spell editor, excel and also Notepad++ or Textpad to make working with the spell file considerably easier/quicker. But, you have to know what the goal is that you are trying to get to before messing with too many of those tools. I mostly just used Excel and Textpad to do all of the spell moving stuff. Using the bookmark feature of textpad/notepad++, it makes selecting certain spells or spells with certain values very easy.

I'm not using a SoF spell file though. I still have titanium

Hey Trev, everything seems to be working except the song Jonthan's Mightful Caretaker. It's supposed to make you proc every attack, but it isn't working for me. I even made the proc chance 10000, but it isn't doing anything. Do you have any ideas about that?

[trevius]

Probably an issue with spell buff procs or adjusting proc rates. That might be an issue with the source code. Have you tried that spell without any modifications to it (directly from your spell file)? If it doesn't work by default, then it is just an issue with how the source code handles that spell and it would require coding for it.

Ok I have the spells_us in my everquest folder and in my rev folder, but when i scribespells 75 it just goes to 70 and then says scribing a bunch of unknown spells after that

You have to use the same spell file on your client installation directory as well. They both have to match, the server and the client. Otherwise, you will get unknowns like you are seeing.
