mercs causing major grouping issues

[warkid]

if someone is solo on my server with merc there is no issue
however grouping is very bad.... mercs stop people from getting xp ...
also theres this problem
if player x and player z both have mercs and player x invite player z to group the player z's merc will disapear

also minor problem but mercs do not charge

The below code should fix your issue.

ALTER TABLE `group_id` ADD COLUMN `ismerc`  tinyint(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 AFTER `name`, DROP PRIMARY KEY, ADD PRIMARY KEY (`groupid`, `charid`, `ismerc`);
