Miscellaneous: /who all crystal (caverns) not working - Page 3

Sonorod · #1 06-27-2019, 05:20 PM

When trying to see who is in Crystal Caverns, the /who all is not working. I confirmed with myself in the zone. A /who all sonorod reports back ZONE: crystal. But when doing /who all crystal the game reports there are no matches.

FWIW I did a forum search before posting. Looks like that thread died last year.

I stumbled on a client-side fix for this issue today. Titanium client looks for race names in dbstr_us.txt. By changing four lines in that file, my "/who all crystal" started working.

I changed:

Code:

327^11^Crystal Spider
327^12^Crystal Spiders
425^11^Crystal Shard
425^12^Crystal Shards

To:

Code:

327^11^Blasted Crystal Spider
327^12^Blasted Crystal Spiders 
425^11^Blasted Crystal Shard
425^12^Blasted Crystal Shards

Hey, appreciate this! I go to CC a lot on leveling toons, and a who check before running there would be great.

I confirmed this worked for me too!

Applying the P99 v56 patch file reverted this fix for me. I had to edit those particular lines again.

Have there been any adverse effects of using bivouac's solution? If not, I'll see about adding the change to the patch file distribution.

Also, great work finding a workaround bivouac!

Thank you. While it's an ok client-side workaround, a server-side code change might be preferable. In fact, it looks like a P99 dev already implemented this 2010 fix for Kedge Keep and Trakanon's Teeth.
And the current EQEmu SendWhoAll function has a condition for Crystal Caverns as well in world/clientlist.cpp.

Code:

if (whom->wrace == 327) {
	whom->wrace = 0xFFFF;
	strcpy(whom->whom, "crystal");
}

I compared 3-letter zone shortname abbreviations to see what other zones might be affected.

Only KK, TT, and CC are un-who-able in the trilogy-era zones. Additional conditions for the other zones might be a nice QOL add for shorter shortnames. I plan to search for a fix for certain player names being un-who-able for similar reasons. (Hail, Invi)

Just bumping this thread as a friendly reminder that this is still an issue and would be amazing if there was a simple server side fix.
