Admitting defeat... for now. Cannot figure out anyway in the DB to disable /who all, or prevent my DB from auto patching that stuff back to the PEQ defaults. I was deep in window processes and task schedulers trying to find how the Akka server defaults back to PEQ defaults.

I'll get drunk and ponder the orbs. If anyone feels pity for poor retarded old Stasis you can give me a hint (Darksinga)

My head hurts. Been reading all day really. Box is up but anyone can crash it, have fun.

are you using AI coding models to help at all? i assume they can give you some ideas on how to fix it at least

my next project is to jumping into the Akka stuff after i get bored of tinkering with this AI assistant and learning how hosting a server actually works just to know cause it's super interesting

I hear ya man thanks finally a normal fucking person. It's fun.

I have done none of my coding it's all been done by the superior Bamzal. Which involved fixing source code, which I've seen it's reasonable to read, but then recompile and stuff, he does a lot of technical stuff I can't. Leaderboard, custom spell animations, custom spell icons.

I have done most of the Database work, which includes a shit ton of stuff, zonelines, npcs, spawn points, path grids, stats, loot tables, all of the like meat and potatoes shit, removing out of era, adding path grids, finding weird shit or out of era, or stuff that's just broken. That's me, all the wayfarer tents and shit out of era objects, rebuilding REVAMPED zones which is really the biggest job because you have to do SpawnIDS, NPCS, Spawngroups, Loot tables, I mean it's a real fucking bitch.

But honestly I just play my box and fix shit it's like my warhammer hobby or some shit I don't fucking know. It's got the best current PVP viability rating, IMO. Kunark Expansion, Variance, pretty fucking good PVE, boxing, this son of a bitch is a masterpiece. Superior to the VZTZs by a shit ton, superior to the guildwars2 boxes. Only because of PEQ/TAKP/Bamzal, and my unyielding desire.

hell yeah. that's dope.

the weird thing i wanna do is a no human box, replace all the PCs with AI bots running rudimentary persona profiles for chat like different player archetypes, and the actual playing the game scripting running MQ or whatever

to turn it into a cool screensaver / ant farm / the sims kinda thing.

Best game ever made brother. I've been playing Red99 so long I'm like the desert madman immune to being alone.

I agree mang POV working on my box. A live human body and a deceased human body have the same amount of particles. Structurally there's no difference.

Thankfully Bamz responded we'll get that bug fixed up in the next day or two. Lets be real after 15 mins of that C++ youtube video I was done.

I was wondering, can you think of a time Training was disciplined on Live. I can't. Not Classic, someone even scammed a guy of a fungi tunic, replacing it with a cloth one after cancelling the trade and saying oops sorry, gm's didn't do shit.

Like the new VZTZ.

Lets fucking go, enchanter LFwork 2kish to get to 172 seems classic as fuck. Going to try charming Dino and just slaughtering Sea Furies and see kinda what plat you can get an hour, my epic mage pre nerf OOT would get like 3k an hour tops, if it's like 5 or under here I'm ok with it but I have a gut feeling it might be much higher.
