Bards

#melody works fine on PEQ where I play a bard as my main, I just do #melody 1 2 3 4 to start twisting what I want and then #melody to stop, but of course the emu has a weird bug of draining your endurance while twisting, happen to me with manual, macros, and #melody, you just need to bash a song until your endurance goes back up and you should be fine to jump etc. I'd guess it's because the server doesn't get a song stopped packet or something, not too savvy on the code of the emu, just taking a shot in the dark

BUMP

Really would love to get bards working PEQ are you guys down to give out the #melody code??

Does not seem to be working.. Would love to get bards working correctly.. Even manually twisting is messed up can only do maybe 3 songs TOPS.. On live I can twist up to 4 or 5..

I'm having the same problem as Mort. And this is what keeps happening -

I'll try to twist, and as soon as I hit one of my hotbuttons to end a song and start another, I'll get a line that looks like this on my chat bar:

Your song ends!
Your song ends!
Your song ends!
Your song ends!

It completely interrupts whatever song I wanted to start next, and sometimes I'll have to click a song two or three times afterwards before it will catch and I can twist another song. It's absolutely impossible to twist more than three songs this way, and even that is a struggle.

Also, sometimes songs absolutely will not turn off. Not with /stopsong, nothing. I have to camp out and come back in order to break it off.

/melody does not work either, as has been pointed out. And #melody is a command, at least on the server I play on, that cannot be recognized. Melody does not make the class what it is, but it certainly eases the burden while playing.

In conclusion, I certainly do not mean to be a pest and cry over broken content in a game I get to play for free - but I think more fun could be had for everyone all around if one of the most unique and beloved classes in the game were fixed to the point where they were playable to a wider range of players. Not just the ones like myself who are determined to play it just for the love of our memory of the class. Thanks.

Here's a screenshot of what I was talking about above

#melody code is available in the emu source code on the projecteq site, o.o; And I just tested it in game, it works fine, other than an overabundance of status messages that needs to be fixed.

Yeah, #melody is in the EQEmu (not PEQ) SVN: http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/

On a side note, I finally realized why everybody thinks that SVN is PEQs! Wildcard named it projecteqemu... He didn't mean Project EverQuest which is what PEQ stands for, but rather more like the EQEmu Project. That never really clicked for me before. Haha.

Strange guess that didn't make it into my binaries for some reason..

Says command unknown when they type #melody...

Just go back to the revision it went in, and diff it out for your server.

#melody isn't all that great, it's buggy and can be used to exploit things (singing while invis) AFAIK the dev that worked on it left :/
