Bard Melodies

[Gegan]

Occasionally when singing songs everything will lock up and it won't let me start singing other songs but a song will keep playing...won't let me do anything until I start singing that song again then it will unlock...I'm guessing this has to do with responses from the server about song activity...i.e. confirming that it got a song started/stopped...which aren't getting reported properly which is whats causing the problem client side...this is also what I would guess is causing the problem with /melody...some response saying yes we got that song request yes we gave you song effect yes we got that song stopped yes we're starting the next song etc...don't know too much about the programming just best diagnosis I can give with what I do know...

I'm going to bump this....not specifically for /melody. I can twist fine, however It's hard to twist at ALL when the songs lock. My songs tend to lock fairly often...enough to make people I'm grouping with think I'm weaving with my nose :P

Has there been a fix for this? I'm thinking there hasn't....but then again I remember bard code being a nightmare

Isn't #melody working for this on emu ?

[cavedude]

Yeah, #melody has replaced /melody on EQEmu.

Ok, sorry I searched (I really did too ;P) and couldn't find any commands like that. I'll be sure to pass it on to some other bards who just figured it was broke. Is there a list somewhere that would have commands like #melody that would not be available on live? I'll look again just incase I missed it.

What about the whole song locking thing? I quoted Gegan above because he nailed the same problem I'm having with songs locking...it's been driving me nuts! Here's the description of the problem again:

Thanks again for the help!
