Guys this is not a support thread for Georges tools, this is Shendare's item editor, if you have questions regarding Shendare's tool this is the thread for it, otherwise please find the proper support thread for the tool you are having issues with

Tested with the latest MariaDB ODBC connector (3.0.6 as of 8/15/2018).

https://downloads.mariadb.com/Connectors/odbc/

Note that different connectors will require different connection string settings, which are usually easily Googled.

The MariaDB 3.0 connector requires the following Driver parameter in the connection string:

Driver={MariaDB ODBC 3.0 Driver}

Thanks for the info on getting it to work with MariaDB. I installed it yesterday, and I am loving this tool.

I have installed this tool and love it for editing items. I can't seem to locate item icons though. I point the folder to default in uisettings but that doesn't seem to work. Any item I edit ends up looking like a pearl necklace.

Is the latest version up to date with current DB?
Says released this on Sep 13, 2015

I use this all the time and I get the item icons no problem. In my db.ini for the editor, I have the "everquest_folder=" path set to the eqemu folder location. (not the client folder). Other than that, not sure if your issue is same ?

When you open an item in the editor, click on the icon to bring up the icon window. Click on an icon of your choice and it will replace the one on item. Then save it.

Here's an example. I used an unwanted item, 127553. It's a trophy whatever, but if you look it up and see the original icon, this is what I changed it to, (visible ingame on item info view).

What am I missing?
 

Trying to get help for this phenomenal tool. Not sure what's changed between last year and now but I can't get passed this error after a successful connection:

"An item with the same key has already been added"

I'm running a fresh copy using Akka's installer on Server2019 (also checked 2012R2). I've tried all combinations/versions of ODBC drivers both MySQL and MariaDB all give the same error after a successful connection and then it doesn't respond. I've also checked to see if all the keys for items were unique and they're fine.

On a related note, GeorgeS' tools don't work either whereas before they did. Had a local server going last year (sept2018) before I lost all the data and wanted to start rebuilding. EOC works fine but this guy made editing/searching quick and easy.

I am getting the same error as you.

Error details:

Driver info:

I use this all the time. (win 64) I have (Oracle's ) ODBC 5.3.10 connector installed. Not sure about anyone else, but I have to click the "Editor Music" off on the splash startup for it to continue.

Is this the driver you are using and have configured?

That is what I had before changing to the mariaDB 3.0 driver, but I have the same issue with both drivers.

I then noticed you listed 5.3.10, the version I was able to get off the site was 5.3.13. I went to an archive site for MS and found 5.3.10 there: https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/c-odbc/

I had to uninstall the 5.3.13 connector from my system and install the 5.3.10 connector. Did that work? Nope. Same error:

Also, I don't see a "Editor Music" option on the splash screen.

The only options I see on the splash screen are 'Automatically set class limitations...' and 'Automatically set 3D model...'. I have both of those unchecked. When I click the 'Options' menu bar, no drop-down shows. I can initiate a connection to the DB, so it looks like the driver I am using is fine. It even gives me a reminder to set my 'Icon Location'. Whether I select a location or not I get the 'key has already been added' error. I recall from using this in the past it means that I am attempting to add an item that already exists, but since this is the initial start of the program no items should be being added.

The connector I am using is by Oracle ( 5.3.10) That's been on my Win 64 box for a long time, it's all I needed to run it without errors.

Any chance you could share that out? The oracle site won't let me get a driver that old? If it's less than 8MB we can transfer via discord?

Edit: Thanks for sharing the file. Even with that I am still unable to connect. I am using the newest version of the EQEMU DB and this issue started when I updated.

The references that I found online for this seemed to indicate that a merge query was pulling from two tables that had fields of the same name and they were not aliased.
