Anyone has info about last packet changes?
For example in our docu (
http://docs.polserver.com/packets/index.php) info about packet F3 and 24 is outdated now...
Packet F3 24bytes -> 26bytes
Packet 24 7bytes -> 9bytes
I need some info about new packets

Thanks for the QuestArrow info, it helped me a lot!
BTW, what does Packet: 0x2A (Blood) do?
Also, I found info that guys on RunUO implemented Blink\Flash with a help of packet [0x70] (Graphical Effect). Is it possible on POL?

About that packet 0x99, the hue offset is now supported by core with the last revision
Code: Select all
07-27-2013 Tomi:
Changed: UO::TargetMultiPlacement( character, objtype, flags := 0, xoffset := 0, yoffset := 0, hue := 0 );
New optional hue parameter to show hued multis which are supprted by clients >= 7.0.9 ( HSA )
Older clients ignores this option

About 0x70 Packet and Special Effects - it is working!
Code: Select all
function SpecialEffect( who, type:=2 )
var packetString := "70";
packetString := packetString + fixPacketLength(hex(4),1); // 0x04 = special effects
packetString := packetString + fixPacketLength(hex(0),4);
packetString := packetString + fixPacketLength(hex(0),4);
packetString := packetString + fixPacketLength(hex(type),2); // (for type = 0x04 use 0x00 - 0x04 values for different special flash effects
// 0 - Fade out, 1 - Fade in, 2 - Flash, 3 - Fade In&Out, 4 - very short Black Flash
packetString := packetString + fixPacketLength(hex(0),16);
SendPacket( who, packetString );
endfunction
