The Plane of Sky has some quirkiness to it (Sirran aside) with some pets. I've got some working code but before I check it in, I wanted to see if somebody more familliar with Sky could help out. The Skeleton pets are supposed to appear as pink wisps and the Magician is only supposed to be able to summon thier Air pet and it's supposed to appear as a female genie. What I'm wondering is if there are other pets that have some quirkiness. Beastlords came into EQ long after I was done going to Sky... were thier pets different? Enchanter pets? others? Do any mages remeber if they got some kind of message if they tried to summon a non-Air type pet?
in pets.cpp Mob::MakePet() put this:
Code:
if(zone->GetZoneID() == 71) // Special pet handling for Plane of Sky. Reference: http://mysite.verizon.net/drexxell/eq/planeofsky.html
{
if((GetClass() == NECROMANCER) || (GetClass() == SHADOWKNIGHT))
{
npc_type->race = 69; // Will-o-Wisp
npc_type->texture = 1; // Pink
npc_type->size = 4.0f;
}
if(GetClass() == MAGICIAN)
{
if(strncmp(spells[spell_id].teleport_zone, "SumAir", 6) != 0)
{
// this->Message(15, "Something like You can only summon Air pets here");
// or
// this->Say_StringID(AIR_PET_ONLY_STRING);
return; // Magicians can only summon Air pets in Sky
}
else
{
npc_type->race = 126; // Female Djinn
npc_type->size = 5.5f;
}
}
}
right above these two lines:
Code:
//this takes ownership of the npc_type data
Pet *npc = new Pet(npc_type, this, type, spell_id);
