@YuritheHarsil said in Limit the distracting effect of mushrooms to until the next rest only:

Free very exploitable poweful buffs. The halucinations are very fine.

They need some work if they are still seen as free.

The distractions didn't quite cut it I guess. I'll figure out something else at some point. Trying to balance it so people still use them, while them not being entirely "free" is tough, but I expect that as soon as we add "direct" mechanical negatives, they'd be thrown away and barely ever used, which isn't the idea.

(And in terms of economically free - they were originally designed to have a direct gold cost and be EXTREMELY rare as loot drops - then -someone- added them to a quest loot table.

But they are not actually detrimental.

They were a tad detrimental to my sorceror when I accidentally targetted one with a fireball and it then zipped over to me before I could cancel it.

But yes, they are not direct mechanical drawbacks.

The question on how they are removed is that, they use real time (regardless of you being logged in or not), to slowly degrade until there are no longer any effects left. The more you use, the longer that will take.

Resets don't matter, if you are at a high effect level, the server resets, and you log back in moments later, you'll still be at a very similar level.

Shouldn't do anything, as far as I remember, the code doesn't check for nearby hostiles or anything, it just runs.

We need to nuke that thing from orbit and re-write it. I just don't like poking the death system.

I've had the same bug happen to me literally a decade ago though.

SQLite_GetTimeStamp();

Appears to be working, just tested it in game and it's ticking up as it should.

This is what the halucination system uses for time.

Each "level" drops each real life half an hour, and one use of one mushroom might not only boost you by one level, so it's possible it could have taken more than an hour of real life time to fully drop to zero.

The death system thing has always, in my experience, been a bit flaky with the slipping closer to death part, but I'm not sure what timing system it uses, though my guess would be simple delay command, which is built into the game engine so....

@YuritheHarsil said in Rangers cant use the reworked Strong Dispell Rods:

All casting classes (even paladins) and all prcs are there, except rangers.

Maybe they were just forgoten?

This is an oversight yeah.

Fixed

Could potentially make it start granting temp HP after you hit max.

@Soothsayer said in Dreamboat / Tommy Foreman / Promotion to Black Wheel Footman:

Active player pushing independent plots

Heard cool things so probly gonna hit yes here. Read his plot ticket, definately doing more and in interesting ways than most- so yeah

Could I hear more about these independtant plots though? Interested, does he have more plans beyond the soup kitchen?

v8752

Taught NPCs how to use the new Edevars Eviction and Oberians Ousting spells.

They didn't really know they existed even if they had them prepared/available.

Now they do, so will cast them if they feel the need.

Tweaked AI priorities little as some appeared to be doing silly things like casting stuff over and over or getting stuck without something to do.

Tweaked/fixed the auto stealth for creartures with stealth skills.
Some may pop out of stealth and attack you now, portentially, if it works, and such creatures exist.

Fixed the AoE size of Edevars eviction (it was wrong) and changed the VFX for edevars, and Oberians, so that they match more closely their actual effect radius.

Put a new AI flag into testing where NPCs can contact allies more effectively if they are under threat.

Added the Edevars and Oberians spells to a few more NPCs (some quest bosses, some quest mobs a couple of exploration based mobs) it's not much but there are a few more (some already existed, but could not cast the spells)

v 8747

Maps should now automatically be explored if you own the map.
You still need to use the map in an area to "show it to your party" so it is explored for them as well, but for you personally, areas you have maps for will be mapped already.

Historic and Noble district, as well as Bospir, Immersea, and Eveningstar, will all be auto mapped for everyone.

Discount for historic district potion store is based on black wheel having more prestige than Justiciars.
Discount for magic shop in Noble district is based on Justiciars having more prestige than Black Wheel.
