Full Sphere 0.55i 496® - unfixable Bugs

You can fix ANYTHING in sphere but its a lot of work! I won't spend the time to fix the bugs listed here, because i have an own shard. On my own shard many of this bugs are fixed.

> · Cannot cast spells on self. spellflag_harm affects whether a spell can be cast on self. If it can't be cast on self, then it can be magic reflected. This has a great inpact on pvp. Especially using magic arrow to escape pvp.

> · EOF account bug: This bug is caused because a player creates an account named EOF, this will cause sphereserver to read up to EOF, so any account after eof in an alphabetical sort will not be read and will be deleted from the server. The list of bad account names are also anything with add, update, unused. fix: just don't create those account fool!

> · You can only consume up to 65535 of any item, and restest about 128000 of any item.

> · .fix command can be used to .fix yourself onto of an energy field. So you can climb/loot towers this way. the only way to fix this is: don't allow players to use .fix

> · You can use a skill and hit tab immediately, and you will fail, but may gain skill or stats anyhow. You can do this with hiding or musicianship, for instance, to rapidly gain skill. ony way to fix: softcode the huge skill and statgain

> · DayLight Savings Time SCREWS UP your shard. It will enter perpetual resync. I suspect its because 2 different API calls are being used to get the filetime. never change the clock of your server (i mean not sphere, i mean the SERVER!)

> · Mounts dissappearing for no reason: 1: If a gm deletes or moves a log out animal without disconnecting it. 2: If animal is logged out and sphere does a garbage collect/worldsave, it can remove the log out npc. on the next worldsave/garbage collect, sphere will check for LINK on the i_mt_object on the player, this yields and invalid link and the i_mt_object will be deleted, thus leaving the player mountless.

> . Taming skill gain is not working. ony way to fix: softcode the skill and statgain

> · Teleporting onto objects. Typical means of doing 2 sorts of exploits. Combat exploit where the Z difference is great enough so that you can use a bow but someone can't hit you in melee, or to loot houses by climbing up tables and such.

> · Combat monster ai is stupid. Monsters won't walk out of para fields. Won't walk into them either. Leading archers to be quite lucrative. Monsters with mana won't melee, so monsters will fizzle when hit and casting magery making them easy pickings. Fast weapons disrupt monsters. as are multiple attackers on same monster or a fire field. poisoning works way too well doing a % of life.
