Random Zone In Problem

[Shendare]

I have experienced intermittent random times where hitting a zone line sends me to the "zone safe point" in my destination zone instead of the correct coordinates based on the zone point.

It can happen some times and not others when using the exact same zone line.

I have noticed that if when you crossing zone line you moving TOO FAST - like GM speed - the game apparently is unable to read your point of entry fast enough, before you actually zone in. The coming from zone is already shut down by the server, and entering zone doesn't know where you come from, so it doesn't know where to place you, so it drops you at safe coordinates instead.

That sounds quite reasonable for my situation, Z.

As for the original poster's, I have also noticed that some zone point information in the DB has problems.

Neriak, especially, seems to want to pop you into safe point coords when you zone around.

Noting the correct zone-in point with #loc and updating the zone points table in the database ('zone_points') fixes the problem, but it can take a bit of trial and error to identify the correct record in 'zone_points' to change.

I have seen problems with zoning under the world and have read about many people seeing it often on certain zone lines on PEQ. Maybe we have something wrong with one of the zoning structures. Seems almost like one of the fields is bleeding over into another field and throwing the info way off or something.
