I committed mercs to the trunk.
I split out the sql into 4 files which need to be sourced for mercs to work correctly:
OPTIONAL SQL: utils/sql/svn/2380_optional_merc_rules.sql
OPTIONAL SQL: utils/sql/svn/2380_optional_merc_merchant_npctypes_update.sql
OPTIONAL SQL: utils/sql/svn/2380_optional_merc_data.sql
OPTIONAL SQL: utils/sql/svn/mercs.sql
Splitting it up was done to keep rules separate from the data, and some servers may not need to update the PoK merc merchant spawns. The merc data that should not change much if at all is in the merc_data.sql, while merc stats, textures, and eventually spells & discs will be put into mercs.sql. This way, whenever changes are made to merc stats or spell casting AI is finalized, you will only need to source mercs.sql instead of the whole thing.
Included in the commit is basic merc functionality for melee (tank) mercs. Healing & Caster DPS mercs do not have spell lists or spell casting AI yet. I currently compiling spell lists for them, and I am adding the AI for the next commit.
Mercs do not currently charge you for being purchased or upkeep (the code just need to be uncommented), but until they are more functional, I would keep it commented out. I think a rule could be added as come servers may not want to be charged anway, but for now, I just have it commented out.
Current bugs I will be working on are the merc timer and stance bugs. SOmetimes, stances fail to show up (rarely) when hiring a merc, and sometimes (often the same time), the merc timer doesn't function. This will be addressed before players are charged for mercs.
I will update my earlier post about the current state of mercs and what still needs to be accomplished, but for now, I wanted to state that you can at least play around with them. They should group with you, attack when you get aggro, level with you, and increase in power as you level.
I'm still looking for post 65 data for mercs as far as HP, max hit, spells lists, etc. Just include class, proficiency, tier, and level please.
