5.0 Bug list
 

We need you guys to help us by posting the bugs that you see. Whenever a legitimate bug is brought to our attention we usually fix it fast. Please post whatever bugs you find here, but please read the whole post and dont post the same bug repeatedly.

i've found a couple of bugs, but i've only been on the raevenloft server so i'm not sure if these bugs apply to all of eqemu or just raevenloft. here goes:

1. whenever i'm in battle with a creature and someone (ie a guard or another creature) comes to help me out, i get disconnected. BUT if i battle that same creature without any help, i don't get disconnected. (it doesn't sound very clear... this is one of my first bug reports so i don't know all the info i need to give to you guys).

2. another bug i ran into was when i was trying to make my own arrows (i'm not sure if this feature is implemented yet, if it isn't, let me know and i won't try it again :) ) Once i press the combine button, nothing happens (ie no arrow is created) and i am unable to target anything with my mouse, open doors, or access my inventory screen.

Still getting I dont know that targettype 0x0 commands for spells =)

edit

This has been fixed =)

OS : XP Pro
EQEmu Version: 5DR5
DB Version: tcsmyworld's Alpha3.2


1. Pets are not spawned near the caster. I used a necromancer
and summoned a pet after a couple of minutes it walked up to me. I summoned another and used the 'Goto' Command. It took me to an under the world coord(West Commons). I tried the same thing with #makepet , with the same result. I tried it in several zones.

I also noticed that NPC pets do not always spawn nearby. In West Freeport for example, they tend to stack up in areas, like they all have one spawn coord. Look near the West Freeport Gate for a stack of pets.

2. For some odd reason, Stamina Fluctuates for no apparent reason, even standing still, i've seen it drop to zero.

3. Food and Water run out Way too quickly. I tried several Food Types, drink types with similar result.

The stamina issues have been fixed in the latest cvs.

I havn't seen anyone report this.

The "who" command in the world console(telnet) does not work anymore (stopped working about a week ago).

Have no idea if this is server specific or 5.0

Playing on the Fish-Wolf server.

1) I could not equip Tiny Cloak of Darkest Night. It said my race or deity could not equip and I was playing a lvl 7Woodelf Rogue. I didn't see a lvl restriction on it.

id 28766
Tiny Cloak of Darkest Night
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: AMMO
Charges: Unlimited
Effect: Shroud of Stealth (Any Slot, Casting Time: 1.5 Seconds)
WT: 1.0 Size: TINY
Class: BRD ROG
Race: ALL

2) Everytime I dinged in Unrest I would become disconnected.

3) When I first zoned into Unrest some creatures I could not attack, or I was ally with.

And of course everytime I zoned I would have to relaunch EQ to access my char.

Also, /who all command would crash EQ in Butcherblock mountains, but not in Greater Fay.

Just comfirming Arkaria's bug about 'who' in telnet not working.

Milli286, your bug sounds like a database problem. Not positive tho...

may be server specific but i was on brightblade and i died at my bind point and my char was in a death loop

Trainers on the Fish-Wolf server have all the wrong skills.

My Rogue is a master divinator...and rather good at meditate.

=) i have not even looked into the DB for tradeskills yet. I'm sorry Meeka, Raevenloft is working on stability and playability. If you need arrows send me a tell ingame and ill set up a miniquest for you =)


Kgaul

thanx a lot for the reply! i don't really need arrows (cuz i can't afford a bow :roll: ) i was just testing stuff out. but thanx a lot for the offer. the raevenloft server is great! keep up the good work. is there anyone who knows what's happening with the first bug i posted?

Duck,

The size of the NewCombine_Struct has changed from 3 bytes to 4 bytes. Your combine is being short circuited by a size check on the structure before it calls the tradeskill routine. If it's not fixed already, I should have a fix out for it on the forums soon.

Regards,

krich

Tiny Cloak of the Darkest Night in its live form has a required level of 55.

While the text you quoted didn't specify that requirement, implying an altered item, it's worthy of clarification: Are you sure that it didn't have the level requirement?

Yes, and I summoned it again last night and did not see a level restriction. I thought it might be because the effect is an AA skill that I do not have.

a lot of items have a hidden level restriction, it dosnt say there is one but there is.

i'm not sure if everyone else is getitng this bug , it's happened on alot of servers , this new targeting graphic sometimes makes the whole client lockup , and the SOE crash window pops up askin if you want to send it to sony etc

also on alot of servers the spell animations are all funky , on one of green servers ( can't remember the name , blade somthing ) my bard was doing star jumps when singing a song , on another server my dwarf warrior would go into swim mode and whizz around all over the place.

Did you try adding charges to the cloak? i've noticed that problem with clicky spell gear for a long time back in 4.4?

Perma Stun?
 

This happens to me all the time on Brightblade. Im leveling up my character fighting orcs in Oasis, and one stuns me.

No big deal, hell... Stunning's a part of EQ life.

Problem is... it never ever fades. I can't move, i can't cast, i can't zone, etc etc etc. All i can do is /q...

Also tried it on Stormweavers, and cast stonespiderstun on myself.

Stonespiderstun is a stun spell that lasts for 20 seconds, with a little DD component.

Again, i become permastunned.

No one else on the server(s) appears to be having this problem... im curious to know if it's client side, or a server-related issue?

Thanks =)

Re:Bugs
 

This is probably on the small scale of things but here goes anyway.

Enrollment notes and tattered notes don't open to give instructions for joining a guild (I'm a eq newb don't know how to do it) however some notes do open up when I have summoned them. I'm not sure whether its because of the items DB or whether its a sourve code problem.

Second bug is that when I have the inventory open and I attempt to cast a spell in battle, I get the problem from earlier versions of 5; an infinite spell recovery time only curable by logging off.

Hope this helps.

Minor bug. (database surely)
I have the same thing, whatever eqemu server i join.
(had that in 0.50 DRx too).

When i create a new sharvahl character and enter for the first time the world (so i'm starting at shar vahl) i start far in the air and fall down, and kill myself, then i'm redirected to my "home point" that is on safe ground.

that stun you were on about is annoying but he can solved , just make sure you have a dmg shield on you when fighting orc priests when your stunned you can still sit and if you have regen of some kind you should be ok, everytime he hits you sit down , this causes the priest to hit you easier meaning he takes more dmg from dmg shield once he dies the stun is removed.

i'm having issues with the newest realease, the servers with 0.5.0 listed (without the DR5 attached). Whenever I log on to one (doesn't seem to matter which) I can get maybe 3 or 4 commands through before I get no more response from the server, but I never go LD.

For example if I do "#itemsearch Yttrium" or something, the first time i get immediate response, second time.. a few seconds delay.. third time maybe under a minute, after that it just takes forever. I can't issue any commands that have to go through the server (like # or / commands) after that.

Anyway, I had no problems like this at all on the DR5 servers and now that my favorite server (Fish) moved to 0.5.0 I can't play anymore =(

Any help would be appreciated. My connection sucks and I do get normal disconnects a fair amount, but this seems like a different issue to me.

Lemme know if you need any more info.

whenever i log onto eqemu then go into a server at the char select screen my mouse is frozen in the upper left corner and i cant do anything to get it or my computer exit out of eqemu. the only way is to turn off my comp because its so frozen.

That is a client error, not specific to eqemu.
(hope you have WinXP)
Try to:

Alt-Enter
Then Ctrl-Alt-Delete
then use that screen to minimize eq
then close that window
and then click eq in the taskbar
the mouse should now be unfrozen, and then you can alt-enter back to full screen again

That's how I normally do it

Thats a db problem. One of following three things:

1. The server admin isnt using the most up-to-date item/book tables available on sourceforge.

2. The admin isnt using the books table at all.

3. The books text hasnt been collected with the packetcollector yet. If you would like to collect it and know where it is on live, just view the readme for the packetcollector and view the text while its running.

It's alowing anyone to use the /lastname command, allowing players to change GM's last names to nasty things.... you didn't hear this from me :-\

1) I have also noticed that I cannot use the who command in consol as metioned earlier

2) Every 10-15 mins, depending on how many people are connected to my server (10-15 as of late), about half of the server goes LD at the same time... here's the errors in world.exe:

any ideas appriceated, thanks ;)

you're missing the aa_timers table in your DB.

hehe well i know that much, but i'm using your database :-\... so unless you forgot to stick it in there ;)

EDIT: nevermind, i'm a n00b ;)... it came with the 5.0, ahehaehahe sorry more mindless spam on the boards :(

When trying to cast:

I dont know that TargetType. 0xff

I notice an edit earlier in this thread that this was fixed, yet spells aren't functioning for me with the "release" version.


Also with the release version, during autobooting of a zone the client disconnects and says the zone is not available. Once the zone is fully booted, the client can attempt again (from char select, etc) and it will then zone them properly (providing the zone hasn't re-entered sleep mode).


Edit: I'll double-check the .cfg theory with some of the zones I've PC'd lately although I know Qeynos was one where I tried to create a new char and had that problem. I do have a .cfg for that zone.

Zones that don't have .cfg are doing the above.

Using database moving_NPC alpha 3_2 with Release Code 5.0.
Telnet who is not working with this database.

#motd is not working.

SK scribing spells the old fashion way ie #si (Bobbing Corpse number) and scribing yeilds message of failure. Also the scroll is on the cursor with the error, forcing camp or zone.

Looting errors with conflicting lore message happen in Sleeper with nodrop lore items worn.

more to come.. editing again.

Don't know if this is still a problem.... Playing on Brightblade server, while fighting in Blackburrow, all the gnolls in the whole place agroed when i was fighting one... you could see them dropping through the roof. Also, while fighting Hadden, I noticed that the boat was hitting him. For SnG's tried attacking the boat and it followed me all the way across the zone.

lol... I've seen a boat attack someone on my server, and that person attacked and killed the boat (it took quite a while) but that bug is on my side as well.

know it's not that important.. but have also notice that #nukeitem doesn't work at all :-\

You can also attack the raft in Halas and all the guards and merchants in range will even help.

Not a bug i'm worried about, its kinda fun really.

I have the same problems on my server aswell.

*shrug* I got the most recent world.exe zone.exe and sharemem, not a problem. (the spells issue)

This is minor but the quest $item function seems to be truncating the item id. If i use #summonitem 13073 and then give the item to an NPC with the following quest:

EVENT_ITEM {
say($item1);
}

It returns 1307 instead of 13073. $itemcount does not have this problem.
