Server Status, Patch Notes

[Rikarik]

I'm glad you were able to get the server up and working again as quick as you did Rogean. I dunno what I'd have done today, it's pouring rain, and has been since I got up.

For those wondering why boats are so difficult, here is the snippet of part of the code from East Freeport. There are actually a couple more parts to it but this is the base.

## INVISIBLE ONE!!
## SirensBane travels from oot to oot to freporte and back
## Angelox
## Qadar
sub EVENT_WAYPOINT{

if($forceboats==1){

  if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Checking");}

  if($freportelastseen==$sirens){   #boat hasnt changed waypoints yet
    if( ( (($sirens>=0) && ($sirens < 14)) || ($sirens == 100))&& ($freportetimer >= 34)){        #if waypoint hasnt changed in x spawns, and boat in Butcher
      if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker is in Butcherblock heading to OOT, hasn't moved, giving up and moving it to OOT");}
      quest::delglobal("sirens");  #boat obviously isnt moving... move it to fp
      quest::setglobal("sirens",14,7,"F");}
    elsif(($sirens>=14) && ($sirens < 39) && ($freportetimer >= 34)){        #if waypoint hasnt changed in x spawns, and boat in OOT -> FP
      if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker is in OOT heading to Freeport, hasnt moved, giving up and moving it to Freeport");}
      quest::delglobal("sirens");  #boat obviously isnt moving... move it to oot
      quest::setglobal("sirens",39,7,"F");}
    elsif(($sirens>=39) && ($sirens < 60) && ($freportetimer >= 34)){        #if waypoint hasnt changed in x spawns, and boat in Freeport
      if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker is in Freeport heading to OOT... hasnt moved, giving up and moving it to OOT");}
      quest::delglobal("sirens");  #boat obviously isnt moving... move it to butcher
      quest::setglobal("sirens",60,7,"F");}
    elsif(($sirens>=60) && ($sirens < 100) && ($freportetimer >= 34)){   #if waypoint hasnt changed in x spawns, and boat in OOT -> Butcher
      if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker is in OOT heading to Butcher... hasnt moved, giving up and moving it to Butcher");}
      quest::delglobal("sirens");  #boat obviously isnt moving... move it to OOT
      quest::setglobal("sirens",100,7,"F");}
    else{                           #increase the timer
      my $tempvar = $freportetimer+1;
      if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker hasn't moved, increasing timer to $tempvar");}
      quest::delglobal("freportetimer");
      quest::setglobal("freportetimer",$tempvar,3,"F");}
  }else{                          #boat has changed waypoints, tell freportelastseen its new waypoint, reset timer to 0
    if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Stormbreaker seems to be moving ok");}
    quest::delglobal("freportelastseen");
    quest::setglobal("freportelastseen",$sirens,3,F);
    $freportelastseen = undef;
    quest::delglobal("freportetimer");
    quest::setglobal("freportetimer",0,3,7);
    $freportetimer = undef;}}



  if($debuglpl==1){quest::shout("Sirens is set at $sirens");}
  if($sirens==39){
    quest::depopall(10196);
    quest::delglobal("sirens");
    quest::setglobal("sirens",40,7,"F");
    $sirens = undef;
    quest::spawn2(10196,24,0,-1654.87,-655.925,-80,46.5);
  }
}

sub EVENT_SIGNAL{
  if($debugpl==1){quest::shout("Fake boat depopping!");}
  quest::depop();
}

I always thought it was funny when my buddy with a slow ass computer would take too long to zone and would always zone in and fall into the water as he watched the boat zoom off.

Glad to see server is fine, and no permanent damage.
To the people freaking out about no global chat, /who all (lvl)-(lvl) works great for finding group members. Only problem, we have to encourage people from going anon/roleplay till the serverwide chat service is implemented.
However, I'm going to enjoy EC tunnel trading now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Also, forums work perfectly for trading if you do not wish to sit in EC tunnel.
There's a forum channel now dedicated strictly to trading.

FYI there is no "-" between levels in this game that will mess up your /who..

/who all 5 10 or so will bring between 5 and 10
