Has anyone figured out what interval cipsoft used?
For example, looking into a event file, carlintowerorcs.evt.
Code:
Type = SmallRaid
Interval = 2592000
Now that's a good question!
I have no idea why people used to belive and still belive (i guess) that amazon shield was dropped from carlin orc raid. Such a raid doesn't exist and never existed! Olso the fake info "Thais orc raid drops amazon shield" and "Thais lighthouse orc raid drops amazon armor" Where is this bullshit info coming from?
Same thing to dwarven helmet from general murius. I have never seen any screenshots proving that this monster drops this item, there is no info about this in cip files (idk if dwarven helmet existed in 7.7) and I personally hunted this boss like 10 times with no results but people still belive in this since fucking YEARS!
Olso beholder helmet from the evil eye: I have never seen any screenshots and I personally killed it >20 times without this item dropped. There is a lot more more fake info like demon helmet from madareth or when mounts has been introduced to tibia, somebody added reins into orc rider loot in TibiaWikia (very next day!). After few months people do realised that was just a bull crap.
Where such a info is getting from and why people belive in this bullshit?! i have no idea.
I also belive (i'm 60% sure becouse no evidence) that stuffed toad is dropped from 'special' witches spawning like orc in orc fortress. Why? Because i have seen some bot project thread on some forum for botters where a guy trying to get stuffed toad killed TEN OF THOUSANDS witches in dark catedral without no results while there is actually screenshot somewhere on tibiopedia.pl i guess where a guy proved stuffed toad from witche's cliff (1 inq mission).
Back to the femor tower orc raid: I'm downloading cip files (thank you Toor, much respect for you) and centos 3.1 trying to get everything run, see how everything worked 14 years ago in server side.
i'm going to change interval to 60 secounds in carlintowerorcs.evt to see what will happen and collect some data to analyse.
Then i'll try to figure out how monster respawn mechanism/module works in game binary (i belive it's hardcoded as hell so i'll need to sharp my RE skills a little bit more).
Anyway i'll post my results here editing this post.
