Enabling aggro, hate and mob zoning

Post by holidaycontrol » Tue Jan 23, 2018 1:38 pm

Hi again,

I apologize for all the questions. In 2002-2007 FFXI had a few things they got rid of. One was zoning mobs. Now mobs disappear when you zone them instead of aggroing someone else. I want to enable the following.

-Enable hate if someone else outside of the party is curing me or someone else
-Enable hate so that 'hate' will continue to grow, similar to as it did in 2003-2007. (For example if a BRD cured someone, and then used songs, it would continue to build hate, even though they are not in the party)
-Enable zoning mobs, so they don't disappear when you leave

Thanks,

If you cure someone who is attacking a monster, you will get on their hate list. It is already implemented

The way hate is implemented now is as close to retail as we could get. You will probably see less-than-ideal results from actions you take (just ask people who play on darkstar servers now). If you can get us the formulas direct from SE that'd be great.

That would be cool, but would require substantial work in the core to make monsters zone. And I'd doubt we could get it to work as I bet SE made client changes too.

I think he meant so when you zone back in, that have not despawned (remember all those train to zone shouts and dying to a goblin entering valkurm dunes?)

There is a setting for that one. https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... .conf#L148
