Squirrel, when I try to edit restricted spells for different kinds of duels, it crashes the server.

Hmm k I'll have to look at that. I'll have to consider recoding the tourney system. The current one kinda suxor and is very buggy.

I'm looking into this right now. The original saved bit array is smaller then the current amount of spells (due to adding spellweaving) so when it tries to read it screws up.

Future plans are to most likely recode this system though a lot is involved in this such as gumps, which are tedious to code.

This bug should now be fixed. I just have to write a script to clear my admin's bank box since I cannot use him anymore (get DCed as soon as I log in due to too much data pending). I'll have to delete the tournement stone and regenerate it in order for the spellweaving spells to show up in the system. We'll want to block stuf like essence of wind, thunderstorm, nature's fury, summon fey/fiend, fire area... wow most spells actually lol. (no area spells or summons allowed on duels due to technical reasons)

LOL that would be a jarr. Actually that would probably screw up the system and make the server crash. LMAO.

Actually think what would happen is you'd still get teleported out and loose but you'd get the rez gump while already rezed.

Yeah... unless it would actually cause a crash somewhere, I wouldnt worry about spellweaving too much. Most of those spells are useless or take too long to cast in an arena match anyway, or just use way too much mana.

Yeah. If you could actually buff yourself before a battle, then SW would be nice. Casting Gift of Life then Gift of Renewal in place of bless would be awesome.

You technically could, cast it right before you go in arena, or toggle protection to cast it when battle starts then toggle it back off after.

Protection also makes you cast slower.

Yeah but you wont get disturbed so once you casted the spell you can toggle it off and keep going from there. gift of renewal would last for most of the dual if its a quick enough one. (and has a 3 min cooldown so not like you'd need to recast it)

Not like you'll live long enough to cast it. That gives me time for Explode+Mindblast+Lightning.

Remember Squirrel, you're a dexxer. Pure mages typically start out with the spell clumsy, because noobs will cast a larger spell to begin with. I used to start out with Curse, but that's more for when you're spamming miniheal =P

Yeah was just speaking in general, you'd have to be a necro mage to do evil omen BO + para. Or you could use paralysing blow I suppose, but para lasts longer.

I always have para blow preset if I know you're mainly a caster. But if you're a dexxer, I'll have disarm preset.
