magician focus items

[nilbog]

Did searches for this, but couldn't find anything specifically related to my question.

Holding the magician focus items (shovel of ponz, torch of alna, etc) do not increase my pets "power".

Everything on the items looks fine, and an item editor they correspond to the correct focus and click effect, yet they do not work.

I found a post by seveianrex http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26517

that describes what i am looking for.. but, after not seeing the lines they listed in my spdat.h or client.h, i stopped to ensure i wouldn't break anything!

I did not see focus items listed as a known issue or bug.

1. Do these items work correctly for other people?

2. Another, general type question. Is there a way for items with effects not to display the effect's %s?
example:

flowing black silk sash. Haste:21%

is there a way to hide this for a more classic look? such as

bump, anyone?

1. Not sure, haven't tried. I think this is tied into some info in the spells_us.txt file, but don't quote me on that.

2. No. That's all done client-side.
