Spells: Wizards Spell: Evacuate Ro

[JackFlash]

If you cast the spell while in the zone of South Ro it takes you to the oasis zone line. Not the wizard spires.

I could be wrong but I remember all the spire specific evacs took you to the spire not the zone in.

[Nirgon]

Should take you to spires

Evacs (including Succor/Evacuate in zone) also left players behind on a much more regular basis than regular ports (which I believe also could leave people behind).

[JackFlash]

I haven't tested this with other zone specific evacs as I rarely cast them in the zone itself. I'll check out the others later today.

Confirmed this is happening.

Started in EJ. Casted Evac Ro, ended up on spires correctly. Cast Evac Ro again, ended up near Oasis zone line. Cast Evac Ro again, reloaded in the same spot near Oasis.

ive never seen someone left behind by a port on p99

Will look into 'left behind'.

As far as I remember, ports should always work, and evacs had a chance of leaving people. Could not be ported while dueling, iirc.

^ That needs researched I guess.

As far as evacs with a set destination instead of safe coords.. cast within the same zone, I think you're correct. These are set properly in the spells file, but will likely need more work to function in that way.

On the topic of leaving people.. did anyone ever see more than one person get left behind? I didn't, but that doesn't mean its not possible. If only one person can be left (including the caster), I'd imagine something like a 6% chance for the entire group; not individually. So.. say it would start port, see if a 6% chance hit, then random someone to leave. Alternately, if more than one person could be left, it would be 1% rolled against each member of the party.

Input welcome.


Also, a random question. Where did the Tolan's Darkwood Breastplate port rangers to, classically?

Late Velious comment coincides with wiki/Zam loc: Teleport to 1880,-1060,2 in lfaydark facing SW

October 15, 2001 - "Just to end the confusion, a right-click on this bp ports you into LESSER Faydark right near the GFay zoneline. "

^^ I don't believe that this is an exploit. I remember casting evac: West on live from the West Karana spire to get people to QH zone line when I was a level 49 Wizard. I believe that is how the spell is supposed to work, if you are at the spire and cast the evac of that specific zone, it should take you to the evac spot in said zone, as noted here: http://wiki.project1999.com/Travel_Guide (for example, Evac: Faydark from the Gfay spire takes you to Kelethin in between the first and pod lifts)

However, I believe the original issue still stands. The example being that if I'm in South Ro (lets say at the gypsy camp) and cast Evac:Ro, it should take me to the south Ro spire. Currently, it will take me to the evac spot in Oasis. This seems incorrect. I believe it should take me to the spire, and then if i cast it again take me to Oasis zone line. I did this a couple days ago as I was trying to pick up someone at the south ro spire, I was at the evac spot in South Ro, and every time I cast Evac:Ro I did not move an inch.
