Seeds of Destruction - Bug Tracking

I have encountered two bugs since swapping to SOD.

The first is a completely whacked out bazaar and item linking system. I can not search by category or vendor in bazaar, and items that do show up are wrong priced, unclickable, bad names etc.
Players linking items in chat show up, but the name of the item seems to be missing the first 12 characters or so.

2nd bug is a endless client/window crash on my 58 Shadow Knight after using the spell "Cackling Bones". This might be SOD or might be in general.

**also just found: Tried selling an item to a buyer in the Bazaar. He was paying 400pp. When I sold it, it said "I sold 1 to IBuyer for 1322850327p 1g 6s 8c". It screwed all my platinum count up. Had to log out, upon logging in I had the appropriate money (400pp on my character.

Yeah, the Bazaar is next on my list to fix, probably tomorrow.

Did you crash as soon as you casted Cackling Bones, or after a buff was put on the pet ? (if the latter, that should be fixed in the latest source).

The bug with item links also happens when SoF sees a link sent from a Titanium client. We need a method to translate any links in chat messages if the source and destination are different clients.

Thanks for the bug reports, keep 'em coming

Just switched to SoD client for playing on PEQ. Logged into my characters and buffed up. While buffing up had to use Cannibalize AA on shaman for more mana and then when i went to case Quiessence to heal myself my HP would not increase, nor would a direct heal increase my hp (even after zoning around). I believe it updated in the group window, but it didn't update for me.

Yes, it seemed after I cast a buff on the pet is when the crashing started happening. Glad you're on top of that

Just like the above post, I also was experiencing odd HP values. For example, if I had Temperance and died then respawned, my HP bar showed something like 4200/5000. 5000 was the value with Temp, 4200 was my actual without temp, and my % hovered around 83 or whatever it was.

Yeah, the HP/Mana/Endurance formulas have changed. It isn't really a bug, which is why I didn't mention it here. It is mentioned in the other issues category for the main SoD development thread. Basically, the client just calculates those stats differently than our server does, and normally it thinks you have more HPs than the server does, which is why they never go to 100%. But, this is just a display bug, as you actually still have the exact same HPs you would in any other client, you just don't see yourself reach 100% like normal.

We already have some ideas for resolving the problem to either match the old clients with the new formulas, or match the new client with the old ones. The first thing we need are the actual formulas for calculating the new HP/Mana/End increase rates and stuff. That will probably take awhile, because they seem to have changed both base stats and also the increase amount per STA/INT/WIS increases.

I compiled the source to revision 1351 this afternoon, copied my character UI files from my SOF folder, and pasted them into my SOD folder. When I logged in my character, I summoned my bots and noticed that the HP bars were huge. I had to stretch out my group box to see them all.

I'm running a Windows server. Thanks for all of your hard work, guys!

Have you tried it on a new character without copying over old files from another client? Many things have changed with the UI, which probably explains why you are having that issue. I copied my character files over, but not the UI ones. You can copy the name_servername.ini files over, but the UI_name_servername.ini file will probably cause issues like you are seeing.

There were quite a few UI changes between SoF and SoD, including changes to the group window to include mana/endurance bars. Try downloading a newer copy of your custom UI from eqinterface.
