10 years ago 1.) Charm has been tweaked to manipulate the AI more effectively. 2.) Corrected. 3.) Bosses can no longer be summoned using Summon, and summon has been tweaked to not apply recursively like that
Tested using Projectile->Charm
1) Charming mobs doesn't seem to do anything for the most part. Most creatures seem unphased regardless of casting mode and continue to attack me or fail to attack other hostile mobs. Zombies seem to be the only creature affected in any way and only occasionally
2) If a Zombie is affected by charm it seems to attack my enemies properly but after a few seconds it starts attacking itself until it dies.
3) Sometimes a creature that I've charmed will die and still count towards my charmed creature cap eventually not allowing me to charm any more creatures. This also seems to happen occasionally with summoned creatures.
Tested using Projectile -> Summon
4) Summoning certain mod creatures (Baba Yaga from Witchery, the Chinese Dragon from Chocolate Quest/Better Dungeons) causes the server to crash. For whatever reason the summoned entity seems to get duplicated a whole bunch of times if you bring the server back up, sometimes you have to clear all entities using a third party program to even be able to boot the server again afterwards.
I understand that it's probably impossible to make summoning work properly for all modded content but a whitelist/blacklist would feel a lot better than having to completely disable the summoning component to prevent abuse or accidental misuse. The incompatibility with the dragon from Better Dungeons is especially notable because Ars Magica is mentioned to work alongside Better Dungeons for some content.
