Mercenaries

Yeah, that happens if the spells_new table doesn't have all of the correct spells. On the default peq spells_new (at least from a while ago), many if not most of the 75-80 spells are duplicates of the 70-75 spells, so it's not matching the spell name.

You can remove the ones it didn't find by doing:
DELETE FROM merc_spell_list_entries WHERE spell_id = 0;

Or, update the spells_new table to have all of the correct spells.

I'll see if I can add the missing spells as needed later.

ok just a question now that i had a second to install and see it for myself. Upkeep is charging every 3 minutes, not sure if that has been changed, but back a few years when i played upkeep was charged every 10 minutes.


nm i see it can be set in the db

Yeah, I think the SQL for the upkeep cost was committed as testing settings, where it is easier to tell if upkeep is working properly when you don't have to wait 15 minutes between each one. On live, it is 15 minutes for upkeep and 3 minutes for the suspend interval. If you want to set that, you can run the following SQL:

UPDATE rule_values SET rule_value = 900000 WHERE rule_name = 'Mercs:UpkeepIntervalMS';
UPDATE rule_values SET rule_value = 900 WHERE rule_name = 'Mercs:UpkeepIntervalS';
UPDATE rule_values SET rule_value = 180000 WHERE rule_name = 'Mercs:SuspendIntervalMS';
UPDATE rule_values SET rule_value = 180 WHERE rule_name = 'Mercs:SuspendIntervalS';

I think the upkeep timers are still a bit flakey, but hopefully we can get that stuff ironed out along with a few other things soon.

noticed that after zoning the mercs mana goes to zero. so it isnt retaining their mana when zoning.
