If you pick the procing weapon or haste item up and #itemfinfo they all have generic 65535 spellID, 0 proc level , and 0x00 EffectType like a mundane item. The item link shows info right such as what level it procs and info about the proc effect.

Right clickable items like Journeyman's Boots do work and show all the right info on #iteminfo, and strangely if an NPC has a procing weapon equipped it seems to work. A tentacle terror with a Tentacle whip will proc the lifetap, but if you take the whip and #iteminfo it the info is generic and the weapon will never proc for you. Any ideas?

If that't the case it looks mor elike a DB problem than anything. Especially if it has the wrong spell id, etc... I will see what I can do though. I have a couple other projects along the side as well as this one now, so it may be a while until I get a fix or proper answer. I will be looking into it though.

Hey,

Just wanted to send a BIG THANK YOU for all of your hard work on these issues - it's a Godsend for those of us who lack the coding skills to figure it out for ourselves. You've been entirely unselfish and helpful in this venture, and we all appreciate it bigtime. Thank you again!

Unfortunately, however I did find a few things. I figured I'd ask, not to sound unappreciative but I'm just wondering why Windows throws an error at me when I close zone.exe? This started on 6.0 DR3 and continues to this day. I realize this isn't a big deal, however it kind of is when you consider I get kicked out of EQ to close these stupid error windows.

Another question I have, or something I noticed, was that when using #zsave, I get "Config for somezone NOT saved!" ...can't figure that one out. Any ideas?

Again, I don't mean to sound unnappreciative, just a couple things that were kinda getting to me. Any comments on this, whether or not they can be fixed, are welcome. Thanks again for all your hard work

Regards,
Sonic

To fix procing, haste and a few other commands first replace

GetProcChances(ProcChance, ProcBonus);

Around line 2387 in mob.cpp with

ProcChance = GetProcChances(ProcChance, ProcBonus);

Around line 213 in bonuses.cpp replace

      if(common.ProcChance > 0) {
		newbon->ProcChance += common.(I forgetwhat was here);
	         }

with

if(common.ProcRate > 0) {
		newbon->ProcChance += common.ProcRate;
	}

in command.cpp around line 4142/3 replace

c->Message(0, "  Magic: %i  SpellID: %i  Proc Level: %i DBCharges: %i  CurCharges: %i", item->Common.Magic, item->Common.Click.Effect, item->Common.Click.Level, item->Common.MaxCharges, inst->GetCharges());

With

c->Message(0, "  Magic: %i  SpellID: %i  Proc Level: %i DBCharges: %i  CurCharges: %i", item->Common.Magic, item->Common.Proc.Effect, item->Common.Proc.Level, item->Common.MaxCharges, inst->GetCharges());

AND Replace

c->Message(0, "  EffectType: 0x%02x  CastTime: %.2f", (int8) item->Common.Click.Type, (double) item->Common.CastTime/1000);

with

c->Message(0, "  EffectType: 0x%02x  CastTime: %.2f", (int8) item->Common.Proc.Type, (double) item->Common.CastTime/1000);

Around lines 182/183 in bonuses.cpp replace

if(common.Click.Type == ET_WornEffect) {
		if(newbon->haste < (sint8)item->Common.Haste)
			newbon->haste = item->Common.Haste;

WITH

if(newbon->haste < (sint8)item->Common.Haste){
			newbon->haste = item->Common.Haste;

I have the feeling I'm forgetting something but I don't know what. I want to find the opcode for /assist, but I don't know how to start.

Awesome Work Arigo. I have incorporated your changes into my build, and released the update_zone.rar on my website. Well, gimme 10 mins... It's up on the Steel Psychos site. I am going to revamp the site a bit to make it more EMU-Oriented...

Argh,

An addendum to my above post...

I cannot log into my server when using your ZonePerl.exe. I can create a character but when I go to log in, it freezes up and I have to reset the computer. The non-perl verison works fine. I can't figure out why other people are getting success with this and I am not. I will download Perl from your list on your site and see if I'm just using the wrong version of perl or something...it's the only thing I haven't tried to get this to work. Both Cavedude's and PEQ's databases give the same result with ZonePerl.exe. Any other ideas? This is perplexing. An eqemu server without quests is ...boring. Thanks in advance.

EDIT - Leaving this post up in case anyone else runs into the same issue. It DOES matter what version of Perl that you use. I used the version posted up on SteelPhychos site and I can now log in fine.
