Task: Desert Crawl

[cavedude]

If you are using the PEQ database, most of the revamped zones have not been worked with and thus are not playable (at least by PEQ's standards.) Nektulos and highpasshold are the only ones that are playable that use the client_version_mask column and it is already properly set.

I've also put Giant Scarab Egg Sack in their own lootdrop table for the nro scarabs thus increasing their drop rate. That'll be in the next SVN update for the database.

Yeah I know things like Freeport are not ready yet, may never be since a lot of peeps do not like the new Freeport. NorthRo is pretty complete though right ? The adventure camp and all of that seems pretty okay.

nro is fine, but the new northro has no factions, loot, named spawns, quests, etc other than whatever was grabbed from packet dumps.

My current project in fact is working on the overhauled zones. robregen sent me his database with a lot of work done on overhauled zones, so I am working with that to merge and tweak what's in the PEQ database.

Well Cavedude, you will never know how glad the community is that you are in fact back, working consistently. I wish I had the skills to help more than I do. I barely know c++ and know just enough Perl to be dangerous.

I was thinking since I know some C# I might be able to pump out a tool for admins, like what George did, but with a slight spin on it. I have been working with WPF, C# so maybe this could be something I could work on.

Anyway, I appreciate everything you and the team over at PEQ do for this community. Without the database and tweaking that is done, we would not be where we are today.

BTW, if the task originally posted about is zone specific like Derision mentioned, it won't work in both versions of North Ro. It will only work in the one it was created for. So, the loot drops you get from them need to be for the right zone (can't mix and match). There would need to be a separate task (exact copy other than the zone ID) for each zone if that is the case.

Correct, because the spawns are tied to that particular zone id in the database.
