Shrink and dungeons

Think you might be remembering wrong. I remember not being able to shrink in Unrest, Cazic, and Karnor's. All 'outdoor' dungeons. Had to use wolf form to make the fatties tolerable.

I know people would ask for wolf form if no shammy was around, but I did use shrink and often.

Why would a dungeon only spell not work in some dungeons? This seems silly.

For every person convinced of X, you can find someone convinced of not X. Which means you are going to have to find proof to get something like this implemented.

Because its outdoors.

Still not good enough because of shrink potions working anywhere.

I dunno, if it's wrong research it, cite your sources, and make a bug report

of course unless you played after this point

- Shaman and Beastlord Shrink spell has had its location restriction
removed.

From the EQ newsgroup (alt.games.everquest) on 04/28/2000:
"This is mostly because certain spells, such as Shrink and
Screaming Terror, are set to dungeon-only. And they work in places like
BlackBurrow and Unrest, which are outdoor zones."

And in another newsgroup thread, dated 01/14/2000:
"Unless all of these tight spots are in dungeons, Shaman Shrink only
works indoors (and in Unrest, which seems to behave as both an indoor
and outdoor zone at the same time)."

I dont really get this "classic" thing.

Why compromise for some things and not for some others. We are not medding on our spellbooks, we are using item links, we had kunark only out for years more than classic etc etc.

I tho the point was more to make the game as good as possible. Implementing things that nobody wants for the sake of "classicness" while there is much things that arent already, seems a little fanatic.

Played shm early 2000 onwards, know damn well could shrink in zones like Crushbone. Unfortunately this is one of those things that you'll struggle to find any evidence of, since no one back then wrote mechanic guides on this kind of stuff. Best I found was guy saying circa 1999 that he "played around with the spell in Blackburrow".

And nope, it has nothing to do with indoors and outdoors guys. Stop repeating that stupid mantra, there were simply outdoors zones that were flagged as "dungeons", ie Mistmoore, Unrest, Blackburrow, Crushbone.

It seems like such an easy fix. Update zone set shrinkusable 1 where zonetype = dungeon.

GG. It cant be that hard.
