Spells: Dragon Roar

[Alunova]

Just so you know the -6 to -150 was a format change during a rewrite of the spell system in 2002.

From all the research I have seen, -6 represented the equivalent of -25 resist per, meaning that -6 would have been -150 resist mod before the formatting change.

This is the data directly from the Velious client CD on my shelf compared to P99.

-6 (x25) before the change == -150 after the change.

Indeed, I fully agree with you.

What I am saying is incorrect is the version individual mobs castL

[Tue Sep 23 18:11:57 2014] Zlandicar begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Roar>
[Sat Sep 20 08:01:00 2014] Klandicar begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Roar>
[Tue Sep 16 03:36:55 2014] Sontalak begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Roar>

[Sun Jul 19 22:11:05 2015] Gorenaire begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Fear>
[Mon Mar 23 02:26:19 2015] Talendor begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Fear>
[Wed Mar 25 02:42:33 2015] Severilous begins to cast a spell. <Dragon Fear>

Showing the Kunark dragons using the 789 ID spell, whereas the 981 ID spell (which has 0 Resist check) should be cast by Velious dragons.

I have a strong suspicion the Velious dragons are flagged using the incorrect (789) ID spell making their fears far more difficult to resist than they should be in era.

Can you confirm Sontalak, Zlandicar, Wuoshi and Klandicar are using the correct version (981)?

I went through lucy raw data and confirmed the raw spell name for 789 was Dragon Fear and 981 was Dragon Roar.

Fixed pending update.

Can we move this to the main page? WOOOO

Excellent! So we should see the Velious dragons using Dragon Roar (981) after next patch?

Unless your resist gear is really bad, yes.

Get it?! Because if not you would be runn...oh nevermind.

Awesome, thanks Alunova!

While you're at it, a similar bug post located here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=215005

Would love if you could check for the -6 value in the stock velious CD spell data file for those VP AEs. Using EQCasters parser of an April 2001 file and based on Lucy spell data I am not seeing these AEs having that high of a resist check in our era.
