Merc Question

[ionhsmith]

2 questions here:

1. my mercs work but do not charge any money so how do I change that because a low lvl can get a journey man tier 2 for 0 charge and its OP ... one shots everything.

2 I have my UCS working but it is only working over the LAN ... no outside connections can use it. How do I fix that?

1. I'm not sure if mercenaries are 100 percent functional; however, I haven't looked at their code even once. So don't take my word on that.

2. Did you forward the port for the UCS? If you did, post your eqemu_config.xml without your sensitive information so I can take a look at it.

I know the mercs are not 100% for example the stances dont work and that is a known issue just didnt know if the upkeep cost was implemented ... I will upload my config when I get home
