Some New Task

[djeryv]

I once used 47 for the faction, because the Priest of Discord was that faction...but I see it was changed to 0. I posted a question on the forums about the TASKSELECTOR not working in the Perl code. Someone wrote that some Perl code was broken a few revs ago (which I run 1052) and they claimed TASKSELECTOR works in 1111. I did not notice a problem because I have not played in months. I do update my server when new binaries are released though, so it must have broke a rev or 2 ago.

There are no level restrictions on these tasks. If you simply hail them and say "serve" (when it is working properly), they will give you a list of tasks with a preferable level (does not mean you have to be that level). There is enough text with the witches for players to figure it out...just need the perl code to execute the TASKSELECTOR command. I am eager for new binaries to see if the problem simply vanishes.

Hey djeryv

Yeah I figured that out too. I reverted to the compiled 1036 revision and they now work fine. Once they started working I checked out the items from the quests. WOW. Some of them are quite 00ber! I think they may be a bit unbalanced for a server like mine that's trying to stay as close to Live as possible. I only have about half a dozen active players on my server.

If you develop anything that more closely resembles other quests for gear on par with their appropriate level I'd be happy to implement them on my server. It's just that we players who are in our mid 50s have busted our butts to get the gear we have and if the young players are getting gear better than us with little effort seems to trivialize our efforts.

Good work tho, it is a great idea and was implemented well. I suppose I could customize them for my specific server but there are a TON of times you put in there. I appreciate the offer to the community. Good work!

If you read the 2nd post I made in this thread, you will see I stated that the items are that way because I have a low population server. My server does not mimic LIVE as I have some rules enabled (bots as well) that allow for a solo play experience without the frustations of losing corpses and xp.

The download has the faction id set to 0 now...and the Witches give tasks as of version 1114. Must have been something wrong with 1052.

The task system works great now. I upgraded my server to version 1114 and I don't see the issues I saw in compiled revision 1052 which is when it started.

Again, thanks for your work with the witches. I think it is a great contribution to the community and would love to see anything else you'd like to release.

Cheers

I rearranged my web server awhile ago so here is the new link...

Hey man, thanks for posting this. I also run a small server.

I have a couple questions before I implement this on my server:

1. I was looking at the .sql file and saw a ton of UPDATEs to the 'items' table that changes the price of things. Are these existing items that are being updated? Also, just curious--why the price changes?

2. I also saw a bunch of items getting changed to be not LORE anymore, just wondering what that is about please?

3. I probably could look this up somewhere, but since we are here: What is the purpose of the quests/templates folder? Almost all of the other folders there in the quests directory are zone names, what's the templates folder for (I'm still learning some stuff)?

Thanks.
