Guide to using PacketCollector

[Shawn319]

We are currently in high demand for packetlogs, spawn/zone data, and new item data. I have whipped up a guide to using PacketCollector so that hopefully more people will start to contribute.

Please take the time to read through this guide and get PacketCollector setup.

The best way to contribute right now is to get PacketCollector running, log into EQLive, and capture as many items as you can possibly find. All items on your character, in your bank, item links you click, any merchants you click, or any bazaar traders you open up will be automatically captured, saved, and uploaded on exit (to be available as part of the 'Collected Items' Database. You can do this on any server (actually, please DO IT on as many servers as you have time to do).


Also, be ready for packet log requests from the devs here. There are lots of broken features in EQEmu and we need packet logs to fix them.

There is a european site where you can register for a free CD-key that comes with a 30 day subscription to EQ (must register a new station name though). and there no CC required.



EDIT: found it: http://cmt.ubisoft.fr/eq_keys/uk/

But the registration off offline right now (it says "try back in one week"???)

Can the packet collector be changed to work on antonius bayle? It says it's not a live server but although it's in the UK it is a live sony server (and not one of the those weird ubisoft ones).

That server is setup differently somehow.. dunno what it is though.

I'm suprised by that, it seems identical and has all the same patches as the US servers at the same time they do unlike Venril sathir and the other ubisoft servers.

But fair enough. Pity though, as it's the only server I have a level 65 character on :(
