Submission: Fix for quest:itemlink()

[Theeper]

Discussion thread for this submission is here: http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26018

Ya, the itemlink function for quests is broken. In fact it will crash the zone if a high itemID is used.

In the new method of linking, the first 6 bytes of that long number are the hex value of the itemID. I assume the last 8ish bytes are a hash or bitmask of something.

Here's a simple fix to link normal, unaugmented items.

Around line 887 in zone/questmgr.cpp change this ..

// MYRA - added itemlink(ID) command
const Item_Struct* item = 0;
int16 itemid = item_id;
item = database.GetItem(itemid);
initiator->Message(0, "%s tells you, '%c00%i %s%c",owner->GetName(),0x12, item->ID, item->Name, 0x12);

}

.. to this ..
// MYRA - added itemlink(ID) command
const Item_Struct* item = 0;
uint32 itemid = item_id;
item = database.GetItem(itemid);
initiator->Message(0, "%s tells you, %c%06X000000000000000000000000000000000000000%s%c",owner->GetCleanName(),0x12, item->ID, item->Name, 0x12);

}

Then you can use
quest::itemlink(1001); // link Cloth Cap
