ATTENTION Drawde

[Locoelf]

Okay Drawde, Ive been searching around, and from what it looks like you are probably the only man who would know this...The item database...some items has some type of flag, or so I thought, that PREVENTS Normal players from summoning items with this flag, IE GM Armor, Verdant if you will, Okay well, Ive asked Ariak, and he doesn't know about this...and then it occured to me that his database came after yours, and all the items in his database, doesnt have one item that is GM Only, HOWEVER, yours does. Now I know this value is not something editable in the EQAdmin, because to be frank, Ive tried everything. If you know anything about flagging items to be GM Only, please post it here. Thanks in Advance.

Can you not set 0031h in the flag setting ?
Does this not set the right setting ?

Sorry.. I've very little experience with editing/creating items. My DB addons don't include any new items, just the standard ones released with the EQEmu DB.
I thought that Verdant, Guidance etc. items were in the DB ever since EQEmu started?
Wish I could help but the only item editing I've done is with the admin program and as you say that can't be used to set this flag.

The 0031h flag is NOT the "customer service"-only flag (referred to as the "radioactive" tag in the official EQ customer service handbook). A few of the non-gm/guide items have that flag, yet summoning them will cause no problems for non-gm's, and at the same time, many radioactive items (i.e. verdant plate) lack the 0031h flag, and yet WILL strike a player dead real fast .

As to the TRUE location of that flag, I personally have no idea, and am not really interested enough at this point to go find out .

I refer the honourable gentlemen to the coment i made earlier

setting the flag is in the admin tool

ITEM TAB
Flag Box
0031h Normal Item: Only seen once on GM Summoned food

Or sommat like that

Does this not serve your needs ...... it certainly makes an item unusable by a mortal
It kills em if they summon it )

Certainly the flag you refer to can be set in admin tool, but it does NOT trigger non-gm player death.

For an example, I point you to item number 23170 (Dark Blue Fine Plate Vambraces). I'm using Ariak's most recent database, so I couldn't say for sure that they are tagged with 0031h in other databases, but in the one I'm using, they are. I can freely summon them with an account with status 0 (non-privelaged user).

On the opposite side of the coin, look at item 19900 (Verdant Chestplate), a gm item as evidenced by its effect of Guide Health. It is flagged "3336h - Normal Item" yet kills non-gm's.

In conclusion, 0031h can't possibly be the gm-item flag . I personally don't believe admin tool can enable/disable the radioactive flag.

Death apon summon of some items is accually hard coded into the emu into the summon code.

if (admin < 100 && ((itemid >= 32768) || 
                              (itemid >= 19900 && itemid <= 19943) ||
                              (itemid >= 31814 && itemid <= 31815) ||
                              (itemid >= 19917 && itemid <= 19928) ||
                              (itemid >= 11500 && itemid <= 11535) ||
                              (itemid >= 32740 && itemid <= 32760)))
{
Death(this, 0);
}

That is a sample of how it works. Also this is why players can loot GM armor that aren't GMs adn use it all they want, it's ONLY for the #summonitem command.

Excelent ... many thanks for cleariing that up.

So If we are compiling our own sources we can alter this and add other items


... otherwise we are stuffed


.... would that be a reasonable overview

[Hmm]

yeah GM flag support for admin and emu should be added pretty soon.
