Notoriety bug

[Adrian]

I just rewrite here that bug from yahoo groups, to be sure that it won't be missed.

Tooltips doesn't show correct notoriety of own character. After login it is correct, but it's enough to do a single move and notoriety info disapears (our characters name in tooltip is displayed in a yellow hue). There are certain ways to fix that for a while, ie: when character is hidden - client shows correct notoriety. Yesterday I discover, that when I toggle war mode for three times (I know it's seems incredible but it's true ) - client shows correct notoriety. Of course - when my character moves everything backs to "normal".

The same problem is with NPC's. That one, which has aligment "neutral" and should by displayed in repsys's "attackable" color, are displayed in the same yellow color. It's some kind of "Yellow Curse", but it must be fixed. Until then, I can't switch my shard to 096 - players will kill me, when thay won't be able to check their own character status.

I've tried to fix that via a packet hook (hooked 0x22 packet), but it's seems to be wrong way (see Yahoo for details).

Can you please copy the yahoo posts into here for reference? Thx mate.

thx mate. When I get my core pc back, i'll dig through stuff and have a look. Thx again.

I personally think, that this is the most important problem to fix if the core Devs have time to do. Because this concerns every server. I know it is hard, cause OSI changed a lot of thinks lately in the clients (no verdata, different tiledata handling etc.).

Doesn't concern mine, we have no notoriety

But I can see where you are coming from...

Ok, got some decay issues out of the way (I hope). Time for this one......

It appears to go much farther than anything AOS related. So far had to rewrite handling for 2 different packets affecting this, so will try to get this one straightened out as soon as I can.

Hrm, I can reproduce this with myself, but not other npcs.

One issue to bear in mind is, (READ CORE-CHANGES FOR THIS), to make sure you set InvulTag=2 in the servspecopts file if using AOS Tooltips (especially important for invuls anyway).

Also, please be sure you are using the very latest test core.

What version of the test core are you using exactly?

[MuadDib]

Please try with this test core and let me know the results (try it before making any servspecopt.cfg changes, and after if you have to make any).

I have just tested that core. I see no difference.
Servspecopt Settings were:

Hrm, very odd. Just logged on with an admin account. My char is invul.

I show yellow perfect as I should, a hind shows grey all the time (even after both of us moving), same with a Balron.

Same wiht a "test" merchant npc who is invul.

Expansion set to AOS.

Client Version 5.0.1D

Also created a lizardman with Red noto, same. Shows fine after all chars on screen move (including myself).

Can you zip up your pol directory to send me via email so I can test with your exact setup? Send it to sroyalty@gmail.com please.

The NPC's are not the problem
If i set myself criminal or murderer you only see the correct color if you e.g. hide yourself or change 1-2 times the war mode. The "mouse cursor text" than shows in e.g. red for murderer. If you make a move, the color again is shown wrong. On other players and npcs it seems to work.

[MuadDib]

Ah, thx for the clarification bro. Will look into it when I get home from work tonight. Thx again.

[MuadDib]

Fixed in next core beta release. Thx for the info (my fix had a typo btw, why that other did not work, lmao).

[Pierce]

Players will appreciate that
Thx a lot MuadDib.
