mq2melee-titanium

[wild_rose1]

Been having a pretty odd issue here, and hoping you guys could figure what is wrong
Been testing titanium client with several mq2 compiles, dancelle's/spiken's(tried the eqemulator.net free ones as well) when i load mq2melee from either compile it loads and works properly on most of my chars, except 2 specific characters sk/cleric that it will just crash the game...the install of the client is fresh and i have not messed with those characters setting in any way.
Even tried to make new characters of the same class in the same account and it loads properly for those.
Im kinda lost here as why it could be happening only on 2 specific chars... any ideas? any help is much appreciated

well first and for most, changing around compiles won't help on this one, we all use the same mq2 basic files (mq2melee is one of those files that gets shared) and i think me and spiken have the same code for the most part, only thing i have that he didnt do is i made a irc secure login so that i could boot people from using my compile and stuff.

now heres a good guess at your major issue, you character names. they might be odd and cause issues with the plugin IE if you use the charname "FALSE" or "NULL" then the plugin will believe your character name does not exsist and will do a epic fail. (to test this theroy try logging into another server with the same character names). also if this is a custom server maybe those particular characters have a item in their inventory that does not agree with the plugin i believe mq2melee has a function that does clickys automaticly for you... not sure of this but worth looking into... i had a item on raidaddicts that had a non-english character in it and it really messed with one of my custom compiles.

these are only a few things you can look into, i am no longer active so it could be a lot of things that eqemu has changed since ive been gone.

gl with figureing it.

thanks for the reply Dencelle, didnt figure clickies might interact with it...will check it soon!

it's very odd, i tried logging on different server with same name/class mq2melee works properly...also removed all items from inventory and gear with same crashing results when loaded. I thought it might have been a class issue so made a level 1 paladin (like the one crashing) and it did loaded up properly, it seems that it doesnt like certain chars at max level...soo boggled with this....none of my melee characters got this issue, but it seems it happens with max level mana users...pretty wierd. Any other guess?

as a side note, mq2melee works flawless with all my character with a SoD compile/client

k, i think i see the issue, on titanium the mana max was set too low for most of the custom servers (raid addicts found a way around this issue but i don't remember how) if mq2 is reading your current mana as below 0 IE -3000 or if its in scientific form IE 1500E4 mq2 melee will error out... so the task id send you on is level up a mana using class thats different from the current classes you have maxed out... get it decently geared if needed but see if it errors out...

if yes, then its accually your client and no matter what you do to mq2 it will never fix (unless you have someone fix mq2melee)

if no, then maybe i need to get back in the game and see if i can fix it... hoping not to have to do this but eh i will if needed...

my email is [email protected] if you need more help... i'll try to check here as often as possible...

Hey, Dencelle did some further testing today, leveled a few mana users to max , casters and hybrids...i think you have pinpointed that the max/min mana is causing this.
At lower levels where mana was kept under 5k i was able to load mq2melee properly and didnt had any issues, as i gained levels tho and base mana raised, one by one characters error'ed out and from that point it was just crashes whenever i tried to log them with mq2melee loaded, to the point that even naked max level mana chars would crash also.
I really dont have the knowledge how to fix things from this point, and dont want to bother you if you are inactive/dont got time, but thanks a lot for input, i would have never guessed mana might be causing this myself

ths problem is more common than most people think... (this is why we make the big bucks... lol) what you can do is contact someone like the admin of raid addicts (dont mention mq) and he might have a patch for this for eq its self since its really a ui issue not a mq issue... or you can have someone develop a plugin to fix it by lowering what the max is ie spoofing your mana to a max of 249,999 so it doesnt error out... this is what i did and it worked perfectly...
