Who wants to be the first to release one?

Not me, unless someone can work out how you can fit 5 digits into 4 spaces

There's space for 6 characters the item structure, but the first two are taken up by the letters 'IT' on all items as far as I know.

If anyone's got more info though, speak up!

why not patch the servercode to work with an expanded column and ask for it as a featurerequest in the next release?

Unfortunately the item_struct is stored in the DB as a BLOB, and changing the size of it by adding a couple of extra bytes to accomodate a few more characters would mean all of the items had to be recreated.

In addition to that, the binary data format would then be different from the one EQ uses, and that'd break a whole lotta stuff.

Auto-Add IT I say..... :p

erm... Isn't the data that begins with IT for item TYPE The texture is stored elsewhere. But I think it is still just 2 bytes of data.

Ahh... You mean the visual model. NM

I noticed that the HQ item DB uses those codes. The version I looked at seemed to use the new packet structure, and it had that data as 30 bytes not 6. It also did not have the "flag" section Is that flag sections use known, or is it just junk that we though was for something?

Har, Har..

I'm going out on a limb here and assuming Lurker's right about the idfile field being 30 chars long

Just updated my editor to handle up to 30 characters for the visuals .. http://www.geocities.com/kaiyodouk/

I've fixed a couple of major bugs in it too. One would cause the changing of values to affect other values (a bug caused 4 bytes to be written for every number size), another would cause a failed upload to the database if you'd selected the item from the search page rather than the item list. Oh, and the password field is now ***'d out

I'm not sure if someone's already done this, but I can easily get hold of a list of all of the possible IT values (they're not all numbers, e.g. IT1K15GLOVE). I've been messing about with .wld files for a model viewer I'm writing and found all of the weapon model entries. I'm not going to attempt to describe what they all look like, but I can generate a list of all the possible ones if that would be of any use.

Good Job.

Lurker_005 · #15 06-15-2002, 11:00 AM

Kaiyodo, Yea that is the way that HQ was listing the ID portion, and they had the 10000+ series ID's in their item DB. Ariak have you made some items and tried them in game yet?
