How about on titles?

[Arex]

perhaps it is more difficult that i thought and we will have to wait years before to see AA titles in eqemu

[AndMetal]

Something else to contribute...

I found this in the Wiki: $client->SetAATitle(txt).

When I executed it in a quest:

sub EVENT_SAY {
	if ($text=~/aa title/i) {
		my $aatitle = "Baron";
		quest::say("Setting AA Title to $aatitle.");
		$client->SetAATitle("$aatitle");
		quest::say("AA Title set to $aatitle.");
	}
}

It went through the script ok, but I didn't see the title on the client, even after relogging. However, when I checked the profile blob, it did set title field to "Baron":

02384 42 61 72 6F 6E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B a r o n

So, it looks like the code is even there to set the title, but it isn't being sent to the client, or the client isn't seeing it.

it is nice to see any advancement, perhaps we need to do any opcodes research??

client_packet.cpp

void Client::Handle_OP_SetTitle(const EQApplicationPacket *app) {
//	m_pp.title[0] = '\0';
	//TODO: send some sort of update struct to everybody.
}

void Client::Handle_OP_RequestTitles(const EQApplicationPacket *app) {
	//zero length request
	//TODO: get the titles from somewhere, and ship em off
	
}

and

titles.cpp

TitleManager::TitleManager() {
}

I don't think the server's side is done. I'm more of a code tweaker, I don't have a clue where to start with something like this. Also when you open your titles window you get

[Debug] Unable to convert EQ opcode 0x5eba to an Application opcode.
[Debug] [CLIENT__NET_ERR] Death: Unhandled incoming opcode: [OpCode OP_Unknown (
0x5eba) Size=0]

To clarify: that's the current code that's in place - I didn't write any of it.

According to the comments in the code, you're supposed to use this table for the merit based titles.

create table titles (
	id int UNSIGNED primary key AUTO_INCREMENT,
	skill_id tinyint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	skill_value mediumint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	aa_points TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	title varchar(32) NOT NULL
);

Thank you for the information TheLieka, then it is supposed that dev's already begun to do it any time ago, but they saw that this task was too hard and leave it for impossible

I wouldn't say that. It's more likely that someone was working on it, then dropped off the project before completing it. I've got a lot of confidence in the eqemulator developers as well as the community, so I wouldn't deem anything as impossible. It looks like the title #command and PERL commands do modify the character profile in the database (based on AndMetal's previous posts), but we might be missing opcodes for sending the title to the client?
