creating user defined spells

[Uleat]

The problem with dynamically created spells is that Everquest doesn't support them.

Whenever a spell is added/changed, not only must the server be updated..but, all connecting clients must update their spells file as well.
(That also means rebooting the server, downloading the new spell file and restarting the clients every time.)

Steam has a working video - at least I couldn't get the one on their page to play.

EDIT:

At a minimum, you'd be looking at trying to manipulate this many individual fields through the quest system:

..with each field being delimited by ^

assuming that an automated spell file update is in place(which is easy enough). and a reset system is in place. The more important question is it possible to prevent a player created spell from getting carried away and crashing the server.

[hawkhunter]

let me rephrase that question are there mechanisms built is to eq to limit custom spells from crashing the server or for that matter other connected computers. Or are player generated spells just totally a bad idea for eq?
