Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

[[Demise]Yung]

Re: [IN DEVELOPMENT] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

Dunno if this can be useful information, but I remember from back a few years, possibly 2006?, that when you killed and looted an ant lion, there was occasionally a pile of bones in it's corpse, when you hovered over it with the mouse pointer, it would say 'the remains of an unknown bard'.

So I take it this was more accurate towards OSI now, back in the days on Demise? If so, would it be possible to go through the older AntLion.cs and use some of the information to fix any of the problems?

Link to AntLion.cs history on runuo: http://svn.runuo.com/wsvn/log.php?repname=RunUO&path=%2FScripts%2FMobiles%2FMonsters%2FAnts%2FAntLion.cs&rev=0&isdir=

I do not know what to look for in the code, else I would have been helping out if possible, but I would probably cause way more problems then I could solve.
Also, if what I have written is not relevant to this thread, please disregard from what I've written.

Best regards, Yung

Yes those are already in (was just a bug with names). There are however 4 versions of unknown skeletons, but only 3 in the script. I didnt script 4th because its really really really rare and i couldnt get it. So if someone has it or remembers whats in them please yell...

Here are some fixes:

Here are some fixes:

I thought there were 5 of them total. Bard, Rogue, Mage, Healer and Warrior. Here is a patch file containing 5 sets of unknown skeletons. I don't have an active account now so I cannot verify that there are 5 of them.

All that stratics sais is that it contains An Adventurer's Skeleton. UOGuide only states An Adventurer's Skeleton and An Unknown Rogue's Skeleton.

Im sure 4th one is of unknown adventurer's, but i dont know whats in it.

Re: [TESTING] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

I've gone with Malganis' patch for this one. I've killed hundreds of ant lions on OSI and have only got the same unknown bones that Malganis reported. This will be the patch used unless someone can provide proof of the other unknown bones.

Re: [TESTING-TC] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

Theres one more set of bones, i just dont know whats in them and i dont have osi account anymore to get them.

Re: [TESTING-TC] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

We can keep it as it is until we find out what the other unknown bones are. It can be updated when/if we find this information out, even if this goes into the SVN before then. I know I've killed about 450 of them now and still haven't come across any other unknown bones.

Re: [TESTING-TC] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

I have just been on Demise tc and have killed over 150 of these things.
Everything is working as it should based on the reports and info we have and i can't break/crash it.
There is just one tiny thing that dosn't seem to match and that is the contents of the mage skeleton.(see pic) I.P reported that it should contain some regs and scrolls.

Appart from that it looks very good.

What looks strange in Uome's screen shot is the mouse over on the weight 9/0
On OSI those containers locked down or in another container read 1 way and when in your back pack another way.Either way they do not show like they do in Uome's screen shot
Here are some shots from OSI

Maybe get Esqarrouth to confirm on Demise TC how they really are not like my screen shots

Thats a good observation, how did i miss that? *Smacks head*
Is there no max weight limit to them on osi or is the max weight limit just not displayed?

Re: [TESTING-TC] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

Last screen shot shows it as 400 stones

Thanks I.P.
I realy havn't got my brain in gear atm have I.

Re: [IN DEVELOPMENT] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

The bones are another thing that I noticed that is different
On Demise they are already cut and always 3
On OSI 3 bone types drop but 1 can be a skull which can not be cut
The ant lion animates the same on Demise and OSI
First 2 screen shots are Demise TC the others Baja OSI

It looks like the patch has been taken off Demise TC.
When i checked it ant lions had different bone types and sometimes one of them was a skull that couldn't be cut ect.

Re: [IN DEVELOPMENT] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

That container things is because locked down containers dont have weight limit (all runuo containers show 0 max weight when locked down).

Re: [TESTING] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

I have a question regarding the spine in the loot.

How many bones do you get from cutting up both facing spine types?

Thanks Lady R

Re: [TESTING-TC] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

On restarting my TC after Lady R's testing the other day i have encountered a problem with this.

Seems to be related to the saving of mage skeletons.
After getting the server back up i added a few more mage skeletons and did a restart with save and i got the same error.
Here it is:

Regions: Loading...done
World: Loading...An error was encountered while loading a saved object
 - Type: Server.Items.UnknownMageSkeleton
 - Serial: 0x40008B16
Delete the object? (y/n)
Delete all objects of that type? (y/n)
After pressing return an exception will be thrown and the server will terminate.


Error:
System.Exception: Load failed (items=True, mobiles=False, guilds=False, type=Ser
ver.Items.UnknownMageSkeleton, serial=0x40008B16) ---> System.Exception: ***** B

Re: [IN DEVELOPMENT] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

I get the same problem, setting back to development.

Re: [IN DEVELOPMENT] [Malganis] Ant Lion and unknown ---- Bones

There was some lines of code missing from the unknown skeleton patch, this patch should fix it. I've put it back into Testing and updated the TC.
