Just going to post to this thread because I feel it will probably be read alot
1. I have gotten really good at populating zones with static spawns
(note) i can't do movement worth shit.. they just spawn and run into walls etc etc.. even if i swap locs in DB like you have to in game).
2. Im also good at loot tables.. adjusting probability, changing the chance of each item in the lootdropID for the mobs etc etc. I can get mobs to drop junk like ore most of the time and more rare items ocasionally.
Now that said, is there any way for me to just send the work i do to someone like TCs database team? Im not sure what files are what when i look in the data/eq folder in mysql so im not sure how it works.
another thing I would really like to figure out zonelines.. are they hard coded? or can i manipulate the DB for them?
finally ..not really but can i spawn mobs with weapon ids and have them STICK somehow so when they pop they are carrying those?
I have alot to offer, and i really enjoy doing this,but im not sure how i can contribute quite yet. Unsure of the file structure etc. I don't know C++ at all.. but i even took a look at the quest structures and made my own basic one.
To sum up.. if you need help im willing but unsure how to go about it.. and i need help with Zonelines ..intrazoning (warping) and spawning mobs with weapons and making that stick on repops etc. ..oh and spawn pathing.. dunno why they don't behave but they don't
Thanks for all your hard work and your answers in ICQ.
