Are Rare Mobs scripted properly (not loot but actual scripts for those mobs)?

Hi all. I know that loot table is fixed for Rare Mobs, but I am wondering if Kronos has fixed scripting part for those mobs too?? For example like Swiftmane running through Barrens with high running speed, Sludge Beast dropping two green items, Leprithus appearing only at night, Takk the Leaper with supersonic chasing speed, Humar the Pridelord spawning those savannah matriarchs and cubs when you slain Humar the Pridelord etc... and their spells, abillities, HP & Mana, armor, resistances, attack power etc..??
 
Re: Are Rare Mobs scripted properly (not loot but actual scripts for those mobs)

I killed humar the pridelord during Beta and no, he didn't spawn the lionesses to fight with him. The sludge beast was improperly spawned on dry land at the stock mangos bush instead of in the water within aggro range of the Druid Water Form quest box, but he did use his Curse ability to hinder swim speed (which was his purpose in being located near it on a retail server). The rare wolf in Ashenvale located near the woodland edge by the Naga shore used his Fear ability properly.

Aside from those, I really wasn't paying attention and I should have. I was more focused on quest bugs.

Leprithus
https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=4664

Sludge Beast
No Report for if it should be in the middle of the Sludge Fen water (maybe already fixed)
No report for the fact that it should be dropping two greens (maybe already fixed. Need proof that it should drop two greens)

Takk the Leaper
No report on running speed (maybe it is already fixed, need source to prove it does run at increased speed)

Humar the Pridelord
No report on creating more spawns (by the comments of this thread this is not fixed, need retest and proof of mechanics)

In terms of spells and abilities, all the rare spawns I encountered had the correct abilities, only was able to see a handful. Whether they have the correct mechanics...all needs to be tested.

I'm not sure, but it might be the best if you would make a summary of all rares with special behavior and then just post it on the bug tracker, so someone who can still test on the server can confirm ? It's acually not a long process to confirm things like this if you have teleport and having scripted rares is pretty important for a lot of people...

I like this idea. Don't have much to do...so I shall get on it.

Anyone is welcome to help...there are many rares, going through each area.

Just remember to link it here on this thread so we can give it an upvote - fixed rares are acually a kinda big deal to me (more important than 3-4 buggy side quests). I would love to help out, but I have no vanilla experience besides of buggy Feenix and a bit of Nostalirus.

And thanks in advance for all your work you have to do to get the report done :) !
 
Re: Are Rare Mobs scripted properly (not loot but actual scripts for those mobs)

I played vanilla...that was 11 years ago...the last thing I would rmemeber is how rares worked...I am simply using online sources from the vanilla period if I can find them, you are more then welcome to help, it isn't difficult.

I might PM you a bit later today - a bit busy atm. There are quite a lot of rare mobs as it seems. I wish we would have done that while the Server was up for testing :/.

o “we spotted the dragon going south of the river to the west then flying back north along the coast and back down doing circles along the river. As one of the screenshots persist, it's your best bet to find him.”

just a quick copy of how I am going about things
 
Re: Are Rare Mobs scripted properly (not loot but actual scripts for those mobs)

Web archives should be checked for more authentic data about these rare mobs. I am not sponsor of any server but Nostalrius released a nice video about these mobs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpdCFvnRa44

I think that both Nostalrius and Kronos rushed with their release date so I will probably wait for 2-3 years until things get polished more or if meantime some new vanilla/TBC server is released :)

Goodbye all and have fun, I wish Kronos to have atleast 2k players :)

Hehe, god forbid not scripting 100% of the rare mobs on a 24h respawn timer to absolute perfection. But I get your point, I too wish for my grandchildren to enjoy a 100% scripted Vanilla-server one day :)
