LOL, nice one, Cavedude :P

Yeah, I am certain that there are differences, but ultimately the SoF file should be better since it is more complete. I think the main issue would be that certain spells have been added or removed between the expansion so people wouldn't have access to all of the spells they previously did, but would also get access to new ones they couldn't have had before.

I am still trying to think of the best possible solution to handle the spell files between the 2 clients, but I think for now, the best solution is to use a combination of the 2 files. Basically, you would use the 8400 or so spells from Titanium and then just paste any spell ID after the last Titanium spell from the SoF spell file into the file and use that. This way, you have something that works flawlessly for Titanium and mostly for SoF as well.

There is no way to have both clients spells working 100% at the same time other than to require a custom spell file download for at least 1 of the clients. If you made 1 master compilation spell file of the 2 expansions, you could give a download of it and everything should work perfectly. I don't see a way around this as long as we have multiple client versions using EQEmu. Though, both clients would still be very functional no matter what spell file they have, since most of them remain unchanged between the 2 versions.
