The message for successful combines in general is currently broken and will be fixed with the distribution of this file.

Code:

8053 You have fashioned the items together to create something new!

Code:

530 1023 %1 scores a critical hit! (%2) -> 530 1023 %1 Scores a critical hit! (%2)

Should be

Code:

530 1023 %1 scores a critical hit! (%2) -> 530 1023 %1 Scores a critical hit!(%2)

Or will it not work without the space after the exclamation point?

Going by his stats and rearview mirror, what do we think he's wearing?

Madbad · #15 10-02-2019, 02:06 AM

I think we can safely assume donal's helm and panties, possibly boots and gloves

wot?
Ethereal mist helm
Mithril breastplate
Ethereal mist vambraces
Ruined Mithril Bracer
Ethereal mist greaves
Ethereal mist boots
Most likely a Platinum dragon totem mainhand
Cant really guess the offhand, not enough PR/DR to be prismatic shield, little too much strength to be pearl kedge totem. Most likely is a Charred guardian shield.

I would imagine diffing the original eqstr_us.txt off the original EverQuest CD against the current one would be instructive too. I'm sure there is an iso floating around somewhere..

Classic clients did not utilize a Strings file. Most things were hardcoded in the client or sent directly from the server in full plain text.

As the game expanded in other languages it became necessary to create the strings file for each one, and it also helped cut down on bandwidth.

Guessing this is a server-side thing, but another thing to change is that when pets kill themselves for whatever reason, or are simply dismissed, classicly they would slash themselves for 32,000 points of damage:

That 32000 is normal for when a pet kills itself. So don't worry about
that.
