Effect spell descriptions sniffed yet?

[ric0h]

Prolly all of us have noticed that item info screens in EQ now include a sentence or two about what the spell does and the duration. Is these messages available somewhere for download or do you plan on sniffing them in the near future?

all your spell info needs can be found in EQ support sites.

www.eqatlas.com

www.everlore.com ect ect ect

Actually, they are not on the network at all. They are in eqstr_xx.txt in your EQ directory. Where xx is your country. So, for english it is eqstr_us.txt.

Here is an example from the file:
[code]40239 Surrounds your target in flickering flames, lowering their armor class, and doing between #2 and @2 damage every 6 seconds for %z.[quote]

The 40239 is referenced from spells_us.txt for flamelick.

Thanks for the info, that was exactly the stuff I was looking for. Now if I knew where I could get the %z, the duration...

Bah, that's the outdated version of spells_us.txt
EverQuest now uses the latter for all info.
