0.5.2 is out.

A few fixes, and several improvements :

- You can now export a spell list to a csv file, compatible with excel. This is a fast and easy way to create and print spell's list. Spells can be filtered by class, level, or even their name.

- I ve added a Strategy menu, for now, it only contains a script that allows a player to compare his weapons. Calculations are based on Emu's source code and Monkley Business's way of calculating weapon's efficiency. More script will be written later.

- Items that are used or rewarded in quests are added to a table when the quest is parsed. When the item is displayed later, information about the quest are given. (think to source includes/sql/quests.sql to create the table).

Thanks Cave)

Time has come for the next release : 0.5.3.
Download URL : http://eqemu.vilvert.fr/eqbrowser-0.5.3.tar.gz

version 0.5.3
- Added a detailled mob listing for zones, with spawn points, drops, and possibility to dump to CSV file or EQ map files.
- Fixed the url for NPCs snapshots (jpg files in /npcs directory, name is NPC's id).
- Added resist and resist adjustment to spells (ressource spells.sql and rerun import_spells.pl).
- Added support for quest::setnexthpevent, quest::set_zone_flag, quest::gmmove & quest::pause.
- Added support for entity_list->GetMobID(), npc->AddToHateList() & entity->CastToNPC() to quests.
- Fixed quests with no sub EVENT_ITEM {}.
- Added proc damage to the melee damage calculator.
- Added attack speed and average melee damage to NPCs (see config.php). Average melee damage reflects how much brut damages the mob does per round, if not accurate due to mitigation, tank level and avoidance, it permits to compare the mobs between em.
- Added "NPC by faction" in Bestiary's submenu.
- Added Primary faction and details about spells to npc's description.
- Removed the SQL update files for version 0.3 and under. Just source includes/sql/*sql files for a fresh install.

- Added the possibility to ignore certain zones (config.php).
- Added ground spawns support.

I've started to add a few npc pictures to the browser, based on PEQ database (mostly some dragons). Not many obviously.
If someone adds more of them, please post a /npcs directory archive. I can upload it to my own server to make it available for all, if needed.

The link isn't working for me. It downloads 'eqbrowser-0.5.3.tar.tar' so when i extract it theres another .tar file inside it. So it wont extract the second .tar file in there. Am i doing something wrong?

I downloaded it and it opened up just fine using WinRaR.

Looked up WinRaR and downloaded it. Worked perfectly, thank you

Obviously this thread is ancient.... but I just started playing around with this tool and wonder if anyone has it fully functional with the current version of the emu?

Anyone still have this? I'd like to host it to keep it alive in case someone wants to pick it up and work on it... please mail to gernblanATgmailDOTcom if you happen to have a copy of the last version.


Thanks!

Sent to you gernblan. Also from gmail so you should have it already most likely.

Got it! Thanks!

Ok hosted and here it will stay for a long time to come (unless someone updates it of course... if you DO, send it to me and I'll host your changes too!)

I installed this neat tool this morning. Of course I encountered the register_variables quirk, that I fixed by putting the following in the config.php file as I did not want to change my system-wide php.ini :

import_request_variables("gp");

I also had to define the following in my config.php file otherwise I was getting errors :
$IgnoreZones=array();

Anyone else had this problem ?

Anyway, very neat tool. Chapeau Muuss, if you still read that ! And thank you gernblan for hosting it.

Improvements to EQBrowser
 

After discovering EQBrower I made quite a few improvements to it, which I would share with the community if there is interest.

From my understanding this tool is now "orphaned", and may be I could take charge of it for a bit. I tried to contact Muuss at the email mentioned in the README but got no reply. It would be nice to have this open-source.

In a nutshell here are the changes I did the last couple days. I probably broke other stuff doing it :D , but for the time being it suits my need. The most notable changes may be the icons (easy but useful) linking to the PEQ Editor. That way EQBrowser can be used for searching/browsing, and PEQ Editor for changes.

- (Bulle) code cosmetics change (privilege when working on an orphaned project).
- (Bulle) Indentation of the generated HTML code - first shot at XHTML compliance.
- (Bulle) Make the top part of the page (header) optional through a flag in config.php.
- (Bulle) Made "faction.php" and "factions.php" interoperate. If "faction.php" is passed an invalid faction it redirects to "factions.php". If "factions.php" finds one and only one faction it redirects to "faction.php" with the found faction.
- (Bulle) Made "faction.php" more Wiki-friendly : it accepts both an 'id' and 'name' parameter. If the 'id' parameter is non-empty it is used. Otherwise if the 'name' parameter is not empty it is used to query for the faction.
- (Bulle) Same remarks for "npc.php", "npcs.php", "item.php" and "items.php"
- (Bulle) Added icons in factions, NPCs and items to link to a PEQ Editor and Lucy when possible
- (Bulle) Diverted the place where NPC images are searched for. Now it links to a Mediawiki installation (which has to be installed) used to store the images. Allows for much easier image upload as no access to the server filesystem is needed
- (Bulle) Added two "generic" search fields in the menu bar, one for searching on the name, one on the ID. It looks for items, NPCs or factions
- (Bulle) Displayed the IDs of objects in many places, which makes life much easier for the world builder

I would so be interested in that once you get everything squared with Muuss!

Had a problem running 'perl import_spells.pl'

it would error out with 'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command.... etc

after a little searching i found this:

cat -> perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat

i replaced
@ids=`cat $spellfile`;
with
@ids=`perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat $spellfile`;

and it ran fine. Hope it helps!
