The effects that change some appearance of the character by an effect that is like a fake item (Afro effect, Vesper effect...) seem to not broadcast to other players.

I use the adminEffects menu to start an Afro Effect for example, and I can see the hair of my char looking like an Afro, but other players don't see it.

This happens also with this new effect that makes the char look like is wearing a vesper set and weapon. I see the effect but no one else sees anything but the weapon glow.

The baguette effects don't work either but in this case I don't see the effect and I think it's a problem with a dat of the epilogue system.

I've been looking at the UserInfo and other packets of the Core and I don't see many differences between the Gracia Final version. Maybe something is missing... I don't know. If anyone has any idea I would appreciate. Thanks

probably client side

[plim]

I understand that the problem with Baguette effect is client side, but I doubt that the other problems are the same.

I'm testing with updated client and I'm pretty sure that In official servers they have already used this "event effects", specially that vesper event is very recent and I don't think they are not seeing each other vesper effect :s

[plim]

Hello? Somebody could give me some answer please

[JIV]

i believe tan answered it correct.

[plim]

It can't be correct... the Vesper Event has been active of official servers... I doubt that they can't see each others effects :S:S

I've been checking the packets that are sent when updating abnormal effects and I've noticed that the values sent on this packets in l2j gs are slightly different on l2jfree :S. Any idea of that??

[JIV]

show the difference.

First read the event description:
http://www.lineage2.com/archive/2010/04 ... s_day.html

The character then emailed a screenshot of their situation and this proved that the character was indeed also wearing Vesper armor and carrying a glowing Vesper weapon. It seems that the transformations cannot be seen by other players.

[jurchiks]

Well that sure is stupid, what's the point if only you can see it? Are there even any effects besides visual?

[gigiikun]

This is only visual effect, nothing more.

[Nyayukko]

But, afro and Baguette effect was visible by everybody on Gracia Final.

[plim]

Yeah it has no sense that only you can see it. By the way... Afro, Baguette and so could be seen in Gracia Final by other players.

Later I'll look for these differences I mentioned that i've seen on l2jfree.

Here:

On ExBrExtraUserInfo

Code: Select all

 protected final void writeImpl(){	writeC(0xfe);	if (Config.PACKET_FINAL)		writeH(0xac);	else		writeH(0x8d);	writeD(_charObjId);  // object id of player	writeD(_val);        // afro hair cut} 

And CharInfo:

Code: Select all

         // T1	writeD(_view.getTransformationGraphicalId());	writeD(_activeChar.getAgathionId()); 	// T2	writeD(0x00); 	if (Config.PACKET_FINAL)	{		// T2.3		writeD(_activeChar.getSpecialEffect());		writeD(0x00);		writeD(0x00);		writeD(0x00);	}

[janiii]

in CharInfo l2jfree writes D 0x00 and l2j writes D 0x01 .

[plim]

Somebody could check how these effects work on l2jfree? I can check but I don't have l2jfree compiled, and maven causes me troubles XD.

Do you think the changes on the same packet in l2jfree make anny difference janiii?

[jurchiks]

maybe it's like a boolean "show to others", who knows...
