Spells: Stacking of Major Shielding and Yaulp IV

[loramin]

Here are the Lucy stacking pages for Major Shielding and Yaulp IV. As you can see, neither buff is listed on the other's pages, which indicates that they should stack. I mention this because, although Lucy has live data, it's data matches how the vast vast majority of spells work on Project 1999 (I recently compiled a Buff Line wiki page and was able to rely heavily on Lucy's stacking data).

However:

I am absolutely certain that Yaulp IV and Major Shielding do not stack.

[Sun Feb 03 09:08:56 2019] You begin casting Yaulp IV.
[Sun Feb 03 09:08:56 2019] Your spell did not take hold.
[Sun Feb 03 09:09:26 2019] Your shielding fades.
[Sun Feb 03 09:09:27 2019] You begin casting Yaulp IV.
[Sun Feb 03 09:09:28 2019] You feel a surge of strength as you let forth a mighty yaulp.

It seems there's two possibilities:

1. This is a rare instance of classic stacking being different from Lucy's (live) data
2. It's a bug

I thought I'd file the ticket just to be safe, and if this is a deliberate classic departure from live then please disregard.

there are a few weird ones, like
frostreaver's blessing:
1: Increase Hitpoints by 10 per tick
2: Increase Damage Shield by 10
4: Stacking: Block new spell if slot 5 is effect 'ATK' and < 1010
5: Increase ATK by 10
6: Stacking: Block new spell if slot 2 is effect 'Damage Shield' and < 1010

blocks divine barrier:
1: Invulnerability
4: Increase HP when cast by 16 (L29) to 1651 (L110)

looking in the history section of luc, apparently db had a damage shield until 2003
2003-08-26 10:31 Removed Slot 2: Increase Damage Shield by 25 (L29) to 36 (L50)

but it probably shouldn't matter because frostreaver's blessing didnt block it until 2003
2003-11-05 11:11 Added Slot 6: Stacking: Block new spell if slot 2 is effect 'Damage Shield' and < 1010

or maybe lucy just didnt know how to read that from the spellfile until 2003. who knows. bless ladyangel nilbog.

Looked through the spells file and compared to the wiki. Scratched my head for a bit then loaded up EQCaster. For some reason the Wiki is not showing Yaulp IV having an AC buff in it's second base or slot.

Yaulp IV
Increase Attack (ATK) from 14 (L53) to 16 (L60)
Increase Armor Class (AC) by 15 (L53)
Increase Strength by 40 (L53)
Decrease Stamina Loss by 10 (L53)

Spdat from 2001.

Which lines up with the p1999 spells_us file. So you can then head back to Lucy and check the history tab for Yaulp IV.

2002-09-04 11:33 Added Slot 5: Increase AC by 15
2002-09-04 11:33 Removed Slot 2: Increase AC by 15

Also yeah Divine Barrier has the DS in the p1999 spells file along with the blocking part. DB should probably overwrite the blessing and not be blocked.
