EQEmu Admin Tool 2.5 has entered the building

[Windcatcher]

I just uploaded it. It usually takes SourceForge an hour or so to move it to the download area, so please be patient.

NOTE: This is a PRE-PATCH VERSION (i.e. EQEmu 0.3.1)

I uploaded it now because, well, it works and there's no reason not to. I hope a lot of people remembered not to patch their emulator version of their client

Note to DEV TEAM: This has the new structure translation code (i.e. see the readme and playerprofile_info.txt as an example). Please take a look at it. It should make it possible for you to easily release new TXT files that will keep the admin tool in-sync with the player and item profiles in the database. There's no better time to give this a go.

Second note to the DEV TEAM: The structure translation code might be useful for the server. My thought is that, if text files like these were written to an EQEmu database as soon as it was first used, then the server could detect when a database was "out of date" and either automatically translate or (a better option) convert the profile structure to the new format (either automatically or if asked). It could potentially make databases impervious to structure changes from VI patches.

Cheers,
