Some Bugs for 0.53-DR2 (dated 1/4)

[rockocool]

Downloaded and installed the latest 0.53-Dr2 dated 1/4.
A few bugs I noticed:
1. Still go LD after died in a zone different from home zone.
2. When a spell is interrupted, all spell buttons went grey and inactive.
3. Go LD when tried to zone into freporte, freportw with an existing character. When creating a new character starting in freportw, start ok, but when zone into these zones from other zones, go LD again. Havent noticed this in other zones yet. In the zone window, no special error message was given, just say"xxx went linkdead". I am using tcs moving db alpha1.
4. When attacking a mob, occasionally the mob will come to a still right in front of you, and it says "you are too far away from your target". And then if you run around a little bit, sometimes the mob will suddenly appear from another place and run after you.
5. Mobs sometimes running in a circle when attacking.
6. Guards are not assisting when run to them for help. And instead, some nearby mobs are assisting during fight.

I am currently running the same set up on a Windows 32 box and I am also getting the same behavior. I am also noticing that there are several opcodes that are being thrown as unable to handle. I have seen those op-codes being posted elsewhere. Just trying to help validate that these issues are occuring.

Why aren't you using the alpha2 database that was released for MWnpcmovdb?

Here is the link:

I think this will help with some of LD while zoning....

Tested the alpha2 db, and client still crash when zone into freporte, freportw, befallen. Havent tried other zones yet. LD when died in a zone different from home zone still persist. This leads me to think it is not a db problem. Actually I tried to play in a few other 5.3-DR2 servers with the alpha2 db, and met same problems. On shawn319's server I can zone into freportw or befallen fine though, but still client will crash sometimes. So at this point I really dont know if it's eqemu's problem or a db problem.

Sorry, I actually mean client crashed when tried to zone into freportw etc, not the client frozen LD. An error window will appear on client side says "everquest client crashed, do you want to report or not blah blah..." This is with 5.3-DR2 server downloaded from shawn319's cvs website, have tried both tcsmovingdb alpha1 and alpha2.

Thats a glitch with database safe points, you can either in variables put UseCfgSafeCoords and set the value to 1 or you can update your db safe coords (in zone table).

I have a fix for this being tested on the Scorpious2k now. So far it works. I will post it as soon as it has been tested thoroughly.

4. When attacking a mob, occasionally the mob will come to a still right in front of you, and it says "you are too far away from your target". And then if you run around a little bit, sometimes the mob will suddenly appear from another place and run after you.

Also have a partial fix for this running on the server.
