Tried giving this a run, can connect just fine but i crash out on at least 3/4 of the items with the following.


Search all / all to get everything to load (crash happens even when i search for 1 item)

i click on an item and get the following

Click ok and this happens

and it crashes out.

Tried messing around a bit and just cant figure out why.

Are you using a Non-Standard Database with possibly your own spells and items in it? I tried adding a Right Click spell to an item that was not recognized and I got the same error about the list/item. Once I removed the right click spell from the item, the error was gone.

There is custom items but no custom spells.

have you registred the ocx?

absolutely, like i said it connects just fine, and dont crash on every item, just most. I can edit random items and create new ones just fine, but most items crash it.

mattmek, in order to track this problem better, I would suggest you identify one item which the program crashes on, then send/pm me a link to this item and your table's schema. At least let me know which item it crashes on and which work fine. That should lead me in the right direction...


There was a problem with some higher end items that had missing icons - causing errors, but I fixed that problem today.

GeorgeS

I spent a few hours today tracking this down and i found the issue.

Updated field is causing it, if the date and time are all 0's it crashes the editor.

ok still no responce as to if there is a way to resize the editor for those less fortunate to have a large monitor

its a natural bug
even if your screen resolution is MORE than editor window requres- you will STILL not see the full editor window - it will be cut off

Sorry, the size is set. No changes will ever be made to this for those few who cannot run in <1280x1024 res.

GeorgeS

Nice tool, George!

I've been away for awhile. Glad to see you are still pumping out awesome tools.

can you atleast make it posible to run in a window, even if i have to scroll over and up and down, just so i can use the editor

He has already stated this in a few places. I am sure if it was something easy for him to do he would have done it by now. I am guessing it would cause a major re-write for him to get it to work in a smaller window or with scroll bars.

...again the answer is no.

GeorgeS

Hmm. I have written in VB before, so, from my understanding one would use the existing code, but make the window an MDI style, then place it into the main host window. Without the code itself I can't try to work out how to do it myself, but as it stands.. having to change resolution to something that will likely crash the EQ client, so I can edit items, is just not viable (not to mention being annoying).

Is the problem that you are not sure how to manage it, or you don't want to? The design looks really nice, it seems stable, from what I can tell, but as things stand... :(

Still, nice to know its a "feature", not some insane bug. lol

Minor bug:
Loregroup is backwards. -1 should = Lore item, and 0 should = not lore.

Another one:
Only allows you to choose either Left Ear or Right for slot. Which makes the earring only equippable in one ear slot.

yeah in description on the top =)

I don't seem to have nay problem with ear slots. if you click them both- you get them both (in game)
in editor it only shows ONE slot regardless of how many it actualy set to

But then you can click the Swap Ear button and then re-equip the empty one.

Sorry about the loregroup. Fixed - should now display correctly
For the ears, have to click on swap ear.

GeorgeS

For Earrings and Rings, I always just add both left and right slots. It will only show the first slot added, so you can add any others you want, but you won't see them in the item editor. If you add both ear or finger slots to the item, it works in both just fine.

If anyone is able to answer this. I am able to load up GeorgeS item editor on a different computer. but on this one i open it and it says [ Run-Time Error '419' Permission to use object denied. ] if anyone has had the same problem and found a resolution or if anyone knows a way to fix it.

You may need to create an alternate user for your database. root access is sometimes configured for use as only localhost.

I have used it on another computer , same settings
host=localhost
user=root
but on this computer it gives me that error... i figured it'd have to do with the computer not the connection to the server, only about 2 programs of his give me that error, the rest of them work fine

If you are using computer "B" to access the DB on computer "A" then you will need to change your settings to:

host=[ip address of computer A]
user=root

All I was saying before was that I setup an alternate user instead of using root.

not sure if this is possible, but is there a way to put in the option to pull up a merchants inventory in the item editor, so that we can maniulate their inventory prices and stats without having to look up each item..if this is possible, it would be a good addition i think...thanks

Not sure I understand - you mean editing 'price'? along with merchants inventory in a table like editing format?
Only price can be edited because it's a heck of a programing effort to make it so merchants are loaded.

I'm working on adding more features to all the tools, so everyone will benefit with greater results.

Some features are prioritized, others have to wait.

GeorgeS

I meant the same way you can load characters and see their inventory and you can manipulate the items on the actual character...if there was a way to load merchants to do the same thing..but I do see that you said that would be very involved to do...just was a thought, I didnt know the difficulty in such a task..sorry

He has a tool for merchants already. They list all items that the merchants have for sale. Though, I do think it would be nice if there was a way to actually look at the item stats directly in that tool. Or if you could even just adjust the price from there, that would be pretty cool as well. I don't sell much special stuff on my server, but I know that some custom servers have tons of loot that is purchasable. I am sure they would like to have access to change price directly in the merchant tool if it was possible.

To me, the stuff with merchants is pretty well ironed out already. I don't use them much anyway, but I am sure some servers do.

yes, i use the merchant tool all the time to add stuff to my custom merchants and it is an awesome tool...I never even thought about adding price and stat manipulation to that tool...that would be awesome too. Dont get me wrong George, I would be lost without your tools, I was just trying to make a little suggestion. Thanks!

Hope you made it home from Japan OK, GeorgeS! I know that is a pretty long flight :x

I think the eqitems editor tool could use 1 more feature if you get the chance. I have a few thousand characters in my database, and your character inventory viewer doesn't have any real search features when using the "load character" button. I figured it would be nice to have a search feature or at least a way to sort by character name. Actually, if it just opened up the character list window and was presorted by name alphabetically, that would work great. I don't know what it is currently sorted by other than maybe create data, but it is a real pain to find a character in it when you have a few thousand lol.

This is nothing major, but if it isn't too hard to fix, it would be appreciated. I am just excited to see the changes you have been working on while out of the country! I have been holding off on revamping my end game zones with the new NPC attack and accuracy stats until your tool comes out. Since, it makes things so much easier :D No rush though, I am sure you are ready to be home and relax a bit lol!

Hello , Thanks I'm back, and jet lagged like hell.:)

I'll start to upload the many tool updates later in the week.

I'll add the feature to the character loader so it will be alphabetized and handle large # of character in the db

Later
GeorgeS

I am getting random ocx missing files and such errors. It works, but a lot of the buttons and other tools don't seem to work for me. I know it's something I am doing with and not the tools fault .

I installed the OCDX tools or something a long time ago and it fixed a lot.
I was wondering if anyone had a solution to such a vague problem.

Make sure you installed these exact drivers here:

http://66.159.225.58/eqemu/ODBC_DRIVERS.ZIP

And also make sure you run the "register_ocx.bat" file in the resource directory of each tool you want to use before you start using them the first time.

All my tools work fine except for my quest editor... it starts up fine connects to the server fine but when i go and edit in a new quest and try to save it it crashed and i get a Run-time error '76': path not found everything ive tried to fix it isnt working i dunno :/

For anyone with this problem trev helped me with the resolution. basically it wont work if there isnt a zone folder with the name of the zones short name located in the quest folder... so if you have this problem create a new folder in the quest folder and it should resolve this issue :D

Any chance you were able to look into getting that alphabetized, or is it already in there and I just don't know how to make it do it? Seems like mine are all still in some funky impossible to search order. I wouldn't even mind just a search box or something.

Thanks again man. The recent changes are amazing. These things keep exceeding my expectations with every release!

I get crashes with the items editor if i try copying: "fieldunk123 doesn't have a value"; apologies if this is a known issue. I have a screenshot but i don't know if i can upload it here?

With the item editor, it can be hard to search for augments. I think it's a shame they aren't added to the drop lists for most mobs, or even just the boss mobs.

Is it possible with the Bot creator to have it allocate AAs such as extending buff bonuses, or is that too hard?

The latest binary up is. Sorry for the late upload, but I thought it was already uploaded a week ago. Character loading is alphabetised now and 'should' handle many characters.

I'll look into the field unk123 issue. Anytime there's a null where there should'nt be will crash the program. I'll see if I can fix this.

Also, which item has this issue?

GeorgeS

Seems to be any item. I load my character, select item, edit, then hit "copy" which i presume creates a new item id to safely change stats without altering the original?
