As I read through the forums here I recall seeing that Verant no longer sends HP update packets to the clients, but rather updates to the HP bar only. Hopefully I didn't miss a thread already discussing this, and if I did forgive me.
That got me thinking, how does the client know how much to increase or decrease the HP bar?
Has anyone been able to successfully sniff the EQ server packets for the HP bar updates and determine a method to the madness? I'm assuming it must be some algorithm that the clients understand in order to translate the movement correctly (no more HP bouncing up and down as a result). Ideas or suggestions?
