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.

I kinda remember the same thing, but there is just not enough evidence of what was cast. Now, there's no way to check :[
p99 started with each npc class having essentially every spell, which we've limited over the years. It's not a client thing, just a db table.

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)
or
346 Grim Aura Classic(Necromancer) Velious(Shadow Knight)
or
?
I'm not sure how many other cases of this there are, but that one just jumped out at me. |
Any spells that should be limited per class per era, either notation from above will work. There shouldn't be that many overlapping ones, and they will be treated as one-offs for query updates.
