- Greatly improved spell lists - there's now a spell list for each level range for each
class, so spellcaster NPCs will always have the best spells for their level available to them.
Also, magician NPCs don't always summon Earth Elementals (seems that they always cast the first
pet spell in their list, so I shuffled the order around a bit), they will summon other elemental types
too. Shamans and Druids also get appropriate pets. Familiars and Animations are also on the lists for wizards
and enchanters respectively though these pet types don't work in EQEMU ATM.
Dragons (Vox, Nagafen and Trakanon) should use their breath weapons too. However I haven't checked this yet.
-A better formula for mob/NPC damage, it's now 4+(2.5*level) which seems to be more balanced.
-Neriak, Ak'Anon and Paineel now have fixed Z locations plus many new spawns (including Neriak Third Gate)
-Added more spawns and fixed locations for many other zones, such as Kithicor. Soulbinders and Nexus Scions
are added to some zones, they need scripting though.
-Various improvements and additions to loot tables and merchant lists. I've revised the tradeskill merchant lists,
they now sell a wider variety of items, moulds/sketches etc, and each race has their own smithing merchant selling
racial smithy hammers and materials. I still need to add lists for tailoring patterns and tinkering supplies.
Now if only we had the racial smithed armour types in the DB

Anyway hope you enjoy using the DB and/or find it useful as a base for your own add-ons.
Any feedback on damage ratios, spell lists, NPC appearances etc. is welcome!

I still need to improve a number of zones, with missing spawns and/or Z location bugs, so any logs or data for these
zones would be very helpful. Qeynos, Halas, Grobb, Kaladim, Permafrost, and Surefall Glade for example.

I'm still trying out tradeskills and book data, it seems to be working OK but it'll be a while before I release
it as part of my DB. Also, the forges, looms etc. in the world don't seem to work, not sure how the code for them
works.

You're the man, Drawde.

Can you put MS-DB into World Data 1.0? since it IS an addon to your DB i dont see why not

Quick question for the world builders-- this may sound noob so plz excuse me Anyway I was wonderin how you guys work with all the DB stuff if the FQAdmin supposedly messes up the database with the new format, because I would like to be able to work on some tweaks of my own for my DB, based off of Dwardes/ Ariaks DB. Anyway a little clarification on this would be great

[strychn]

i believe the current admin tool works fine, it just doesn't support all the fields from some tables in the database. you can't edit certain things is all.

Is it just me, or is http://www.innersystems.com/~drawde/worlddata0.9.zip corrupted? I've tried all three of my machines with the same results.

[strychn]

not here, i dled that last night ok.

[strychn]

correct that, yes the one download is corrupt. the other link is ok though.

[_OZZY_]

Okies. Thought so. It's cool for now, since I need a fresh database anyway. I'll need that other file for backup purposes tho. I'm always doing something to screw up my database :P

[Drawde]

I've re-uploaded the corrupted ZIP - it should work now.
CuteFTP occasionally seems to corrupt files on uploading, no idea why.

[Hmm]

dw do you know ie can act as ftp also? just put this in

ftp://whatever.com:Hmm@Password

im sure its wrong way but its about that.

maybe flip : and @ around.

[Trumpcard]

Yep , think you have it backwards...


ftp://<user>:<password>@<ftp server>

[strychn]

yeah, i'm a lazy bastard. so i just use internet explorer for anything ftp :p

[eblan]

He said upload, don't think IE can upload...
