Can someone give me an accurate description of what command used to show pet buffs and exactly how it was outputted.

(I'm talking about the command one that was just text).

OK! Now I did play a magician.

Originally, up until post Velious, if you /pet report health, it would return a value of

I have # percent of my hit points left. (in white text) Nothing else, no messages about buffs.

#488 in eqstr_us.txt

I have %1 percent of my hit points left.
