Necro Summoning Problem

meshershark · #1 12-15-2007, 11:19 AM

I'm using EQEmu build 992 (plan on trying EQoffline soon) and the latest PEQ (Ykesha + some PoP).

The problem I'm having is the necro summoning spells don't work most of the time. It will cast and use a bone chip and sometimes even give me a skillup, but most of the time a pet never appears and I don't get the pet button bar. I was able to get a pet once out of about a dozen tries, using both the level 1 spell Cavorting Bones and the level 4 spell Leering Corpse. I'm not counting fizzles in those attempts; I mean out of a dozen times the spell seemed to go off, with no error messages, only once did I actually get a skeleton pet and his action bar. He worked fine while I had him, would respond to commands, etc.

Can anyone point me in a direction to look? It's especially mysterious because it did work that one time, and I haven't changed anything since. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I have the pets table and it already has all that data (just double-checked via Navicat).

Like I said, the spell did work once and gave me a pet. The other times it fires off but never produces a pet.

Cripp · #4 12-15-2007, 12:30 PM

but do you have all the data for npcs 500-638 ?

meshershark · #5 12-15-2007, 02:34 PM

Yes, I have all the data for pets in both pets table and npc_types.

After some more experimentation, what seems to be happening is that my first summons after I enter the game with the necro character works, but any subsequent summons with that character in that session do not work.
