EQEmulator Forums - Walkspeed Fix

The current method of figuring walkspeed does not provide functionality that reflects that of live. After going through the PEQ npc_types table, every single walkspeed is half the runspeed. The following code change to the GetWalkspeed() function will ignore the database walkspeed and use runspeed to calculate it. This allows for snares to effect walkspeed in a way that functions just like live. With this fix in place I am able to Snare/FD split just like I do on live with my necro. SK's should see the same thing when Snare splitting.

Here is the Diff

When testing this, mobs snared with Engulfing Darkness could barely walk away when I FD, mob snared with Dooming Darkness and higher were stuck until aggro'd into a run or snare wore off. This is the same behavior I see currently on live.
