Mercenaries are now in an implementable state! I finished the last few bits of packet work over the last few days. We now can suspend/unsuspend, have a merc charge upkeep based on a timer, and all of these features are saving cross-zone.
I also tested in on the Underfoot client and it works just as well as titanium. The only thing that doesn't work is the auto-assist button but I assume we can implement that during the AI stuff. It's a simple button setting that the client sends to the server, and the server must send it back at some point. I could look into it, but I would rather get the AI stuff working before we go implementing an auto-assist/call target function!
bad_captain or trevius, if you would like to start work on the AI with me, that would be great. Thankfully we can just copy-paste bots for the most part. I'd like to see this go live on PEQ soon, would be nice to add this to an array of features EQEmulator has. And I can't even begin to imagine the custom server possibilities.
