Swarm Pets Not Giving Experience

[NatedogEZ]

Not sure if this is intended? But swarm pets will allow loot but do not grant experience

Here is what I changed to fix it.

attack.cpp line 2088 (OLD CODE)

if(give_exp && give_exp->HasOwner()) {

attack.cpp line 2088 (REPLACE WITH THIS)

if(give_exp && give_exp->HasOwner() || (give_exp && entity_list.GetMob(give_exp->CastToNPC()->GetSwarmOwner()))) {

Swarmpets do not "HasOwner" so they never passed that check but later in the code it was correct for allowing loot.

With this fix they will correctly give loot and EXP! (if the swarmpet out damages the group that is they are currently Kill stealing EXP ONLY ... loot is fine)

I would submit this myself but my GitHub keeps giving me errors :(

Didn't you say you installed TortoiseGit? Right click the top level folder and choose TortoiseGit->Diff
More people will care if you submit in that format. Cheers mate.

Actually, with git, it is better to simply create a pull request. Then the change can be immediately applied by someone with commit rights.
