Modifying Zaela's P99 middleman client
 
Hello,

Many moons ago I had a problem with an empty server list on my Debian 8 laptop based EQ client (iwlwifi). I've been using Zaela's p99 middleman client to resolve this problem. Unfortunately, this is the only client I have access to. This means I have never actually seen a full server listing in the eq client. I have seen a full listing in another tool provided by Zaela (more on that later).

I have 2 questions:
  1. I modified the middleman to check for other world server name prefixes in addition to Project 1999. It works fine for legends and preferred servers, but I can't get any of the standard servers to show up no matter how many I try. I suspect that something may need to change in the sequence.c file to accommodate standard servers, but I'm not familiar enough with the eq client to know. I have tried doubling the buffer size in the filter_server_list function (from 512->1024). No luck there.
  2. Previously, I was able to run Zaela's server lister tool via wine to see the entire list without bringing up the client at all. This tool is referenced in this archived thread. But the dropbox zip file is no more. I don't see this on Zaela's github either. Any chance someone knows where to find this?

I'm still doing some trial and error testing on my own, but if anyone has pointers to offer I'd be grateful. I'm also considering swapping the generic iwl module with a firmware specific module to see if that helps...but as Zaela points out in the above thread, the problem may be more closely linked with Wine than my firmware.
