Eq Browser : Allakhazam Clone
 

Hi there,

I always enjoyed exploring EQ thru allkahazam's website. So i made a clone of allakhazam for EqEmu. That clone isn't fully finished, but there's yet a few things that work ok. It works with any 6.0 database and should also work with 5.7 (tested it, seems ok).

It requires a webserver supporting PHP and Mysql. The best choice under linux is Apache+PHP+Mysql, under Windows... easyphp for private use, perhaps , dunno really :)

After downloading the archive (eqbrowser.tar.gz), open the README.TXT file and follow the instructions, its not hard to install, just don't forget to source the needed sql files. The provided SQL files add 2 tables, races and spells, and don't modify in any way the EQEmulator tables.

The website where you can download it is : http://eqemu.vilvert.net/downloads.php

There's no forum on that website ATM, i m working on it. If you have some things to comment or add, please do it here, or by mail (email address on the website). Any addition, bug fixes are welcome !


A few snapshots :

This sounds like an awesome tool. Can you provide a link to a working example or screenshots of what it looks like? Thanks!

try that link : ------------
This is temp, i ll post some snapshots asap ! (12 hours at work yet, can't wait to be back home !)

edit : removed the link, i added the snapshots !

This is SOOOO cool. I love the idea of allowing people to see "under the hood" so to speak. Very nice job.

Ya, that's a pretty neat idea. My editor is basically the same thing in guest mode. But allakhazam is a friendly and usually familar interface for people :)

nice work

Hi muss, could i know what should i to do for run u tool on WIN-XP, u said that i must download easyphp, but easyphp only works on apache? then i also need to set a apache server for run this tool? i would like only use u tool without set a server or any other thing.. is it possible?

And u eq-browser like allakhazam looks very nice, u did a great work, thx for share it with the community.

In fact, easyphp is apache+mysql+php.
It's enough by itself. You only need the database, no need to install eqemu server.

- install easyphp
- create a database named eq for example
- source a database package in it, like PEQ for example
- install the browser into the easyphp html tree (read the README.TXT for instructions)

And it should run.

Updated, added pets stats and corrected a few things.

Very NICE! I'm sending this to my webserver right now! Thanks a lot Muuss! :D

Any suggestion on things i could add or modify ? :)

error
 

not sure what the problem is cause i dont know crap but anyone know why by this?:

Aren't you using IIS ?
i don't know much about it, but i doubt it suppots php by default...

yeah im using IIS but i still cant get this to work what am i supposed to use? ive coppied and done all the steps it told me to 5 times......

I know absolutely nothing about IIS, i think it doesn't support PHP scripts. You need a php module, or something that makes IIS able to execute PHP if it doesn't yet.
the first test you could do is to create a file named test.php and containing :
<?php
print "that test is working";
?>

Place it into your html tree then try to view it with your browser. If you see ONLY 'that test is working', it means that your IIS supports PHP, if not, for example, you can read everything, from <?php to ?>, well, go back to what i wrote at the beginning of the post, you need to add something to IIS to make it working with PHP. I m sorry i can't help you more than this.

I use IIS and php works just fine. All I need to do to get php working is install php, then make sure IIS knows how to handle a .php document and it works.
