Hmm haven't looked at globals yet. Never messed with them before and not sure how they work or how to set them up. I have figured out alot of tenchnical things in game so far.. spawns, basic quests, setting up grids creating new ncs editing items, etc, etc, etc....
But there are alot of the quest side elements I'm not familuar with. Again have only written basic quests. There are alot of things that tell you what it does and examples out there just not alot of explanations. And besides messing with a server a year or so ago for maybe a week or so. This time around I have been doing it for just a couple of weeks. Before that, never messed with MySQL, Perl or any of EQEmu stuff. Yet in just a week (or less) I have managed to set up an entire server, setup an Apache Server, PEW database editor and set it up where I can edit it from anyplace that has internet, php, perl and get most of the other tools out there working and a Windows 7 x64 machine. This is after compiling a server and never have messed with any of this. Most of this possible from finialy understaning how alot of it works with detailed exlination and information about these things. So it's not from the lack of trying.. just the lack of understanding. So far how to set up these elements in the quests and a few things like the globals and a few things I haven't touched on yet isn't from not trying it's from the lack of understanding them and lack of explaining how and why the work and how you right them and what the different elements mean and how they make it work.
This coming from someone who has never written code or messed with a MySQL DB or apache or perl or even php. I don't think I'm doing to bad. I also wouldn't consider calling somoene an idiot before understanding someone or their possability.
Now, I like the idea. I thought there would be an easier way with the waypoint event since the boat in OOT is a constant. Simplisity. I will start looking into the "globals" and hopefully I find enough infformation on how they work and how to set them up that I can figure them out and how to write them into a quest. Any help with this would be great, unless someone has another idea.
Thanks
