I spend my whole day on working with my server which I described above. I found the following bugs that may or may not be known, but I just wanted to offer what I learned anyway.
1. I make a new character from scratch. The only race that I could actually get into the game with as a new character are Iksar and Human. All other races, I can make the character, but when I go to log in, my client reports "you have been disconnected" and I end up back at the login screen if I am lucky. With the human or iksar characters, if I zone, I may or may not get the boot back to the login screen, it all just depended what zones were involved. I noticed I could #zone sebilis with no problems, but if I #zone to ecommons then I would end up at the login screen. In all cases, once I either camp out my new character or I zone and arrive at the login screen, I can never log my character back into the game. The only thing I could do is make another new character. I noticed once when I was in sebilis, I did #zone overthere but ended up on trakanons teeth. From there I repeated #zone overthere and arrived finally in OT at the succor xyz coordinates. When I tried to log back on after rebooting, in a ll cases, I got the "zone unavailable" message on my client.
2. Combat. I was very pleased when my level 1 human wussie stormed into the orc camp in ecommons that I aggroed the whole camp and all those orcs came to put the hurt on me, but I noticed I wasnt taking any damage. I double checked, and I was not in GM mode or any invulnerable mode and I had no buffs, but I wasnt getting hurt. I should have been dead. so I targetted one and turned on auto attack but the only thing that happend was a message "ERROR: String not found. (13)". BAH!!! After a few more seconds, my client died and I ended up at the login screen and, you guessed it, I couldn't log back into the game as that char.
3. Targetting. I noticed that when I went to #level 65 myself, I got a error message about "no target" even though I clearly had targetted myself... Same thing with spells like a buff or a heal...
4. Clicking the elevator button in poknowledge zones a player to Firiona Vie, which zones me, the human, back to the login screen and, thats right, now I can't log back in... hehe But I guess this is more a DB issue for projecteq.net...
5. Existing characters. I imported a couple chars I saved in a .sql from my 5.6 server I made last month or so, but I wasn't able to log into the game as those either... Saw a message on the server in the zone console about "player profile prior to March 26 patch being converted" , but then I saw a bunch of odd characters that just looked like a string message gone wrong... weird ascii code characters is really all I could describe it as, obviously an error and then my client would report "zone unavailable".
6. I did notice that if I tried to change my characters "camped" location in database to coordinates I knew should have been "safe", that after I tried to login in only to see the "zone unavailable" message,sometimes the server code would alter the coordinates... ??? ... like for example, i tried to change a character to this LOC in poknowledge, zoneid 202: x= 3.93 y = 777.04 z = 4.06, but the server would change the z cordinate to z = 0.00406 .. not sure why... and I also noticed on my other new characters, sometimes when I would just zone but fail that the zone name and coordinates where recorded, but the zoneid was recorded as 0. I tried to manually correct this with the proper zoneid but that never worked. I still got the "zone unavailable" message. I also tried to change these characters to a different zone altogether, like to poknowledge or east cabilis, but I still got the "zone unavailable" message..
It's almost bed time for me so I put EQEmu to rest and I'm gonna go toss in a DVD and watch some tv until I drift off to la la land, hehe. I hope something I typed here is valuable in getting out a new release..
Oh yes, my client is patched to EQLive as of May 29. I didnt want to, but I sold my eq live account for CA$H and part of the deal was I'd move all my characters to the bazaar so I had to log back in hehe Oh well, I got a nice check now
