Lower Tier Spells

Not sure if this has been answered before. Searched the forum and googled it with no luck.

With the new AoM expansion out, my toon shave gotten spell upgrades. However, my old tier masters are better than current tier apprentice-expert.

After i ogre exported (for the new prestige abillities) Ogre is now using the highest tier spell available.. which is not as potent as my lower tier version.

Is there a way i cannot find to make it use a lower tier version?

Im not 100% on this but I believe you will need to manually edit \Scripts\EQ2OgreBot\Ability_Information and delete the lines with the new Apprentice spells.

^ This.

Run Export
Open the ability info file, so a search for spell name, delete the whole row. Reload Ogre.

The above is correct. It's an unfortunate side effect of how the autoloading of abilities work. However, it's really only an issue for a few weeks after an xpac with a level cap increase happens, so it's not really worth the effort to make something to manage it any better.

Yeah, i kinda looked at it ogre as/after it exported and just made this assumption.

This DOES work, ive done it now on about 4-5 toons... works well, but its going to be a pain in the ass if/when we level one spell at a time....

Would be a nice "feature" to maybe be able to select a lower tier spell in the call stack? <hint hint, nudge nudge> heh.

Im not complaining tho.. absolutely great work.. I will deal with and manage my script file if needs be.

is it possible? Yes. I'd need to separate ability exports to player, instead of class (which is simple enough). Then it could make decisions for you, IE: if old tier is 2 "levels" above new tier, use it.
But I just don't see me doing this. The amount of work for a once a year thing, puts this into the back burner, because of the other 23409324 things during xpac time, and when it's not xpac time, it's not needed. So it usually... just gets skipped :)

Ohh absolutely. I didnt "expect" this to be put in, was just more wishful thinking... originally i was just looking to see if maybe it was already in (as i just recently started using ogre), and i just couldnt find that option...

Modifying the file isnt tough so ill just continue to do that.

Keep up the good work sir!
