This might save me a lot of greif

Ok,

So I'm digging around looking to modify the paladins abilities and skills and I come across this gem.

I do a search of my emulators files for this function "hasskill"

I find this in the client.cpp file

bool Client::HasSkill(SkillType skill_id) const {
return((GetSkill(skill_id) > 0) && CanHaveSkill(skill_id)) then this:

int8 Client::SkillTrainLevel(SkillType skillid, int16 class_){
return(database.GetTrainLevel(class_, skillid, RuleI(Character, MaxLevel)));

Soo,, to the guru's if I understand this correctly this means that this function queries and get's it's answer from the client? in this case Titanium's EQGAME.EXE?

That's going to save me a lot of pain... as I can quickly grep for everything that's client:: and find out exactly what I can and can't do... short of finding the damn titanium client source... now that'd be freaking cool!

Thanks

It is talking about the Client class not the actual Client software on the players computer.

The Paladin skills are stored in the database in the Skill_Caps table.

ok fair answer, and I know about the skills_cap table, I've been in there muddling around. Allow me to get more specific:

CanHaveSkill(skill_id)

To me, this would imply canhaveskill has to check "something" to determine whether or not this class can have this skill. Do you, or anyknow where this check is made?

OR, I think maybe someone could confirm that even if I could make it so this check worked, that the client would stop my paladin from Kicking?

I could edit kick in class_skills and give it to the paladin at say.. level 6. Then fill in the tables in the skill_caps but something tells me I'm not going to be kicking anything because the client will override.

Yes?

AND, thank you for correcting me on what I thought was a call to the client executable.

The client will still override things like base class skills no matter what you have set in the db and code unfortunately.

Thank you KLS,

is there any kind of list that would give me a broader understanding of what the client handles?

Right now I'm most interested in having the paladin use the same combat tables, I would think combat is handled almost in full on the server, but I keep failing at locating where the base to hit, and to hit modifiers are...

any help?

Thanks again.

There's some of that info in the rules_value table like base crit, and things like that... but no break down by class :(
