EQ Items sourcing

[wraithlord98]

I've been trying to source in the latest item dump from EQItems. Everything sources in seemingly decent (once you match up the fields). Then when I load up and get the emulator running, I get an error message - something to the effect about "too many items, edit common/Items.h" (I'm posting from work, so I'm not able to post log dumps about the exact error).

The only thing that's mentioned to fix it is posted under this thread (linux support - http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23186) - I made the recommended changes - but it's still giving me the same error. I think the problem is somehow related to a max item listing in the database - and once you're over that max listing it simply won't load the items file (which makes sense, because at that point - you can't summon any items what so ever while ingame even with max admin/gm privleges)

Any suggestions?

The error specifically is:

[Status] EMuShareMem loaded
Error: EMuShareMem: pDLLLoadItems: iMaxItemID > MMF_EQMAX_ITEMS
You needto increase the define in Items.h

Fixed - had to recompile with a higher limitation/max number of allowable items.

Yes, this is the problem we've all been dreading, knowing it was coming. Hopefully it will not cause more memory issues than we've already discovered.

Really isn't an issue unless you try sourcing in a recent dump from EQItems; haven't looked to see exactly how many items are there.

However, I sourced it to use a 300,000 limit; using a P3 2.0ghz w/ 2048mb ram (nothing special - DDR2) and WinXP - haven't noticed any sort of memory leaks etc as of yet. But on that same note - I haven't really put it into any sort of stress test - right now I'm just toying with things trying to relearn everything since I've been away from the project for so long.
