Zone safe loc

Post by **LethalEncounter** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 6:36 pm

OK, I'll try to reproduce the crash on my server.

I can confirm on my system, after changing the safe coordinates that this zone
exp03_dun_mistmoore_catacombs_epic01_freethinker
causes a crash in world.exe...the cliet just goes back to character select I believe.

When I reproduce this, my head explodes. Is this a user based issue?

I can start on moving this over here, or getting them in my sql tables and uploading them, but also
http://maps.eq2interface.com/map.php
has most /loc's including zone lines..
Just a thought, not sure if its been thought of.
Also if we want to make a pretty close replica of a live server, they have mob locs etc and static objects.
One thing i did notice is links (item links from live eq2) dont work in an emulated server, or atleast not mine? is that because the emulator uses different code/db structure then soe's servers?

Also, just a thought, but wont the safe zone /loc spawn all players that enter that zone in the same spot, stacking on each other? if everyone in say a group zone in at the same time?
Would there be a way to make it zone people in at a random area within the safe zone /loc proximity? or does it already do this?

This is because item IDs are different in our database. Eventually we might use the same item IDs as live, but the current db does not.

That is a good idea that I hadn't thought about. I'll add it.

Here are some zone locs for ya-

In addition to this there are several entries in the zone table that can be deleted including the entry for the City of Mist, the second Charasis:Vault of the Eternal (id number 266) as well as an entry labeled dir.txt (id 37). None of these are real zones or are copies of other zone entries.

Thank you for those, Zexis. I have made my first attempt to add stuff like this to the master database, so please let me or LE know if I jacked something up.
Starting with 4 new Tradeskill instances from recent logs in the Qeynos areas. I'll test your zones above and add them soon.
Thanks again,
-J

Zexis, I do not seem to have any of those exp04* files. What expansion is that? Maybe I missed one, though I have the RoK box which I thought came with everything... and my Live client seems to not have them either.
Not sure I should add those until someone else confirms they work. Adding your locs updates though.

Post by **link2009** » Mon Mar 03, 2008 9:17 pm

Exp04 is Expansion 4 referring to Rise of Kunark.
I got all the files from every pack and I can confirm that those files exist. I have MANY MANY more that are not in the zones table either. I will contribute mine tomorrow.

Post by **John Adams** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 5:23 am

Hmm. I don't get it then. I bought RoK (actually, 2... one for each of us here at the house). I have no exp04* files, and am fully patched. They should be in the 'paks' folder, yes?

I could not find the above.
there is a file exp03_rgn_steamfont_epic01_mines however.

Post by **John Adams** » Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:57 am

Ok, I seem to thrive on admitting publicly when I am STUPID.
Note to self: when you BUY the box set, maybe I should put in the activation key too, eh?
And what the hell is up with the station site, that can no longer tell you anywhere what expansions you DO have? Sigh...
Anyway, I checked the g/f's machine, cuz I know she was playing with Snarks. Sure enough, exp04 files all over the place. Cuz she was smart enough to activate. :/
Sorry for the confusion.
And double verifying Zcoretri - I see no "chardok_epic01_mines" either (now) heh.

Zone safe loc

Confirm.
