The battle tactics that increases hp is for the warrior class, probably an old spell.

The one that increases sta seems to be the guardian spell and according to data.soe.com it is suppose to increase sta (which as a result will increase hp), however wikia and zam both say hp only, in this case some one will need to make a guardian on live and check the actual effect.

That almost sounds like fun! is that allowed? hahaha I would change to the US servers if i knew what one.
Don't wanna upset the DB tho, tried to make a coffee earlier and it wouldn't allow it! It just wants my data, i swear it gets high off the numbers.

But yeah after a week of fixing and adding spells i may want to actually PLAY some EQ2 next weekend. You should start a post so we can get organized with times and maybe vent/teamspeak info ect.

Ruin was actually a crash bug trying to apply a skill bonus to an npc without skills. Fixed this and committed to dev svn.
Armored - armor effectiveness is not implemented yet

Oh, Well i tried it on that level 25 heroic guard in the starting zone (Testing high level skills on lvl 2's is an instakill :p) Had no idea he didn't have any skills lol. Maybe that's why it didn't crash Vs actual mobs. Ill continue with Ruin and a few other DD arts today and maybe some simple buffs. Thanks for the fix :)

[Edit] Played around with Ruin, re-scripted it, broke it, fixed it, still abit of crashing, altho its not consistent. Using Ruin I and II worked fine but i forgot to put a range value in III, so it wouldn't cast, came out, added range to III went back into the server and ruin I and II crash the server lol. Iv deactivated all Ruin arts until iv done the basic ones and maybe gained a little bit more of an understanding and experience.

(Added old script code back in.)

[EDIT #2] Tick and DoT scripts are different, DoT has Tick, Script only has Tick but the art needs DoT, Ill review it later.

[EDIT #3] Sever skill is now working 100%. It had missing timers on DoT and the usual missing data but other than that it was ready to get the green light. But given that its basically the same as Ruin in that it is DD and DoT with -skill im sure i could re-jigger the lua around so Ruin works. Ill test later.

[EDIT #4] Iv added the list of working and non working skills to the OP, also is this type of function implemented? Decreases Ordination, Ministration, Disruption and Subjugation of target. Re-scripted it but it doesn't seem to take the skills away. (I gave myself all 4 and used the skill on myself.)

[EDIT #5] Whats involved in implementing some of these things? If the Slashing skill is implemented it would just be a case of copy/paste and change Slashing to Ordination or something like that? Obv new ID'd and such but same principle right? You might need to show me how to do stuff like that at a later date :p

[EDIT #6] Ok final edit, can someone look at this and tell me whats going on and/or fix it lol http://eq2emulator.net:9301/eq2db/edito ... ell_script Every time i get it "working" it wont cast the DD but will do the DoT. Iv no idea if its reducing skills because my skills don't seem to show up when i have that combat art. Also the DD should use the first set of values, and the DoT use the second, but it seems to be the other way round :s

Concussion and Decimate are now working 100%. I was working on a berserker skill that damaged and applied a debuff, much like the two guardian skills, however the berserker one didn't have a script at all so spent about 10minz trying my best at it until (Due to a copy/paste error no doubt) i had the effects (debuff code) above the damage but under the function.

So with one cockup iv fixed not only 2 guardian and 1 berserker skills but all the other classes that have DD+debuff :D

Could someone tell me if knockback, stun and daze are "working". (Knockdown (stun?) seems to work.... visually)
Also could you please give me the script code to apply them.
Also a location in the script. Seeing as debuff code doesn't work after attack code I'm guessing something like knockback would be the same.

Yes.

http://eq2emulator.net/wiki/index.php/L ... trolEffect

As for debuff code it should work as a spell bonus. You should also call http://eq2emulator.net/wiki/index.php/L ... trolEffect in the remove portion of your script.
