Question Regarding Spells_us.txt

[Tech_Gnome]

I really couldn't find the right place to ask this question, so I thought I'd ask here.

Anyway, i'm curious about how the Spells_us.txt file is parsed. Does the client do that, or does the EQEMU code do that. I've piled through all kinds of stuff and haven't found anything that says either way. In any case, the random calcualtions that need to be done on the stuff in the text file is just crazy. I've been able to figure out a few of them.

I guess what i'm asking is where that file is parsed and the data loaded. I'm trying to create something that easily parses the data in the file and allows me to figure out quickly what's changed between the newer versions and older versions. That way I can keep what information I have up to date. If anyone has any information, let me know. If anyone wants the formulas I have for calculating data within the file let me know. I've got about 9 of them so far...
