RoF2 Client synch issues

[Uleat]

I don't know if my answers will be 100% correct or accurate..but, I'll start it off


1 - SoD+ clients hp update behavior is different than older ones. There could be fallacies with the server update code..but, it's more likely that the bonus code
doesn't match the client's 100% and there are hp differences. (What does live do?)

2 - Boats have been messed up since they updated their directx version. You might be seeing the effect of a work-around.

3 - http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/sho...73&postcount=8. Are you/they playing on a 32-bit cpu, by chance? I've tried to find the cause of that issue
for a long time and it (magically) went away when I started using a 64-bit cpu. (Figured it was a floating point calculation error in the client.)

4 - Probably the result of our pathing code. If pathing can not plot to destination within 'n' number of moves, it teleports to that point.


RoF+ clients use a slightly different behavior for determining z-axis coords..so, maybe the issue has crept back in. (I didn't see any issues when I tested RoF way back when.)

Thanks for the quick reply, it sounds like it's mainly working as intended then. I was really only posting to make sure I hadn't missed a setting somewhere that made the server more SoD+ friendly.

I'm playing on a 64-bit processor but I might have just been being unlucky or standing in the wrong spot with the Faydark lifts. I'd also noticed that a lot of crafting stations were floating when playing with the RoF2 client but I'd already seen a note saying that was also expected behaviour.

That about wraps it up for this then, the bugs are quite small compared to the useful additions like the extended target window so I'll probably stick with RoF2.

Thanks again for the quick reply. I don't envy you trying to develop this emulator to support a decades worth of client versions!
