Simple Client Status

Regardiing books, I would just keep the format the same as the emu table struct -

name or id as varchar(30)
txtfile as text no limit

this seems to work well.
I also may have a book BMP skin you may find usefull - I'll look for it if you need something fancy like that.

On another note, I redid my PC and forgot what you use to unzip this .gz file. Tried about everything and it failed -
Load SQL: beta_team_dump.sql.gz

Yeah, that's what I did--I simply followed the same protocol as the live client. If you have a better book skin, I wouldn't mind using it; I made this one in PSP and use it for both the spellbook as well as for books and scrolls.

gunzip is the old standard. Are you using Windows or Linux? I use ZipGenius for all my archive files.

I created some icons and DB items, and did a little coding...



I don't have any world containers (forges, etc.) but handheld tradeskills like tailoring are working

EDIT: It's not in this screenshot, but item info windows are showing the item icon as well now.

Very nice work indeed WC !!!

I can't believe I got this working so quickly...



For those who are wondering, I took a sharpening stone and a rusty weapon and sharpened it. I've also created a mold icon and added a bunch of molds to the DB, but this was an easier test.

Hmmm. I actually found some bugs in my server version (EQEmu 0.5.5) in doing this:

OP_ClickObjectAck and OP_CloseContainer should be 0x2a2. In the code they were the same opcode as OP_GMSummon, which is bad...

CloseContainer_Struct should actually be 28 bytes, not 24 (having a testbed helps).

I suspect that these might also be problems in 0.5.6 since that has the same opcodes, but YMMV.

That's excellent WC - tradeskills are extremely important, and I'm glad they are working, including the fantastic progress I'm seeing.

I'll get the book graphic to you later this week after I get some of the server admin code written...
