NPCs casting spells that they shouldn't until a certain era
Tonight, while farming a lizard crusader in CT for my SK's quest armor drops, I caught a few spawns and watched them buff themselves. Multiple times I saw them cast Grim Aura - shadowknights do not get this spell until Velious. I assume its on all NPC shadowknight spell tables.

confirmed.
I am trying to get timeline-specific rules added for npc spell sets, so they won't need individual ones per era.. cutting down the work needed for pre-kunark/kunark/velious differences. If that doesn't happen soon enough, I'll remove it from the list. |

This is actually an unfinished that project I would like completed prior to opening a new server.
We now have the ability to era rule npc spell entries, so spells can have a rule attached per expansion, or month etc. The following is a list of npc spells and their IDs. If anyone wants to help label which spells occur in which era, I can fix them with simple queries. For example: 1447 Aegolism Velious 697 Breeze Kunark Any spells not needing changed (prekunark) do not need labels. If there is a nonclassic spell listed, it can be labled as i.e. (Never, or NotClassic), and it will be removed. Code:
688 Aanya's Animation |

Hey Nilberg, this is tangentially related at best, but was NPCs having a level-appropriate spellbook something that just came with the stock client or was that intended by the original p1999 developers?
On live, generic high-level NPCs seemed to cap out at 29-34 spells with a few exceptions. Clerics would wrath you, wizards thunder strike, necros venom of the snake, etc. Even a lot of the notable NPCs like Vox would spam wrath. The first time I remember a generic NPC-caster casting a high-level spell was the ST-revamp where the gargs were casting GSS and everyone joked that they had Emp on farm. FWIW, I like the change and it hasn't been an issue since you guys limited NPC mana pools years ago. After vanilla, casters on live were pathetic. Hit me back plx. |

Nilbog, I started compiling a list but wonder how to flag the original example (i.e. Grim Aura). For instance, Grim Aura is a 'Classic' spell for a Necromancer, but a Shadowknight only gets that spell in 'Velious'.
So how should that spell be categorized, do you need to add classes to the era tag? Such as: Code:
346 Grim Aura Velious(Shadow Knight) |
