Minor tools for spawn editing ingame.

[Elrach]

As I started populating my zones, I realized it was a pain to figure out what models were available in each zone. So here is my first contribution: #fixmob

#fixmob [nextrace|prevrace|gender|nexttexture|prevtexture|n exthelm|prevhelm]

Start with #spawn, then use #fixmob with the different parameters to easily navigate through the different races, gender, textures and head textures (head only seem to work for giants). I'll look to add facial features shortly. Finish it off with #npcspawn and you're close to having a full ingame mob editor.

I just wish there was a way to skip innexistant textures... Anyone got any insight? Error returned by client maybe? Gonna look into this to next.

here is my patch file for client.cpp of EQEmu 0.4.4-DR1.

#patch client.cpp client.patch.

Very nice ! I'm sure our world developers/tweakers will love this functionality. I'll try to get it in to CVS for you this evening.

Only extra thing I could request is to put the new commands in a usage statement so a #help will list them as available commands.

[Mortamer]

/sigh. I can't wait until I learn C++. I wish I could contribute code, but I don't think you'd have a use for my calculator code :P

[Elrach]

Trump, the last line in the patchfile:

>          Message(0, "  #fixmob [nextrace|prevrace|gender|nexttexture|prevtexture|nexthelm|prevhelm]");

This line adds the symantic of the #fixmob to the #help menu. I will add a full help tonight for when you use #fixmob without arguments. Explaining what each does.

P.S. Mortamer, this type of patch is very easy to do. Anybody with minimal understanding of programming languages and a good textbook as reference could do this. I'm pretty much using the tools already in place, and re-arranging them to produce the results I wanted. I did want to start small, as my skills are pretty rusty.

[Trumpcard]

Merged it into ST and pushed it out to CVS for you.

Thanks for the update!
