Eq Browser : Allakhazam Clone

[Bulle]

For spells, you have loaded the spells tables in your DB right ? I re-discovered this point in the README when making a fresh installation to try it out.

The quest functionality requires a copy of your quest directory to work. Basically it runs a script that parses the Perl files and populates tables with the result, ready for HTML rendering. Note that I have tried it on my PEQ quests directory (you can run it in "batch" mode) and it stalled on one file so it is probably not up-to-date anymore. And I do not plan to delve into this for the moment (it is quite intricate) so if you would like to fix it you are welcome

Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.

When I run the pl after editing the paths inside it.

I look forward to watching this project progress.
I will be keeping my eye out for ideas to steal for the Almanac, that I will try to keep up todate.

I hope that we can both feed off each other and end up with two useful but different solutions.

meh cygwin gayed up on me, isnt installing perl right.

If you run parse-quests.pl to parse each quest 1by1 it works. That as you know is time consuming =/ the sh <-> .bat Progress is lamed up on my end. Kinda wish cygwin had decent perl support.

This link still works : http://dl.free.fr/jRrH6ILnp/eqbrowser-0.6.0.7z

in quests/quest.pm, change sub ChooseRandom to :

sub ChooseRandom {
  my $item=0;
  foreach $item (@_) { main::add_received($item); }
  return $_[int(rand($#_)+1)];
}

This will add all the items returned by ChooseRandom to the database.

Not to complain or anything , but the links to the latest EQbrowser lead to a French website which I do not understand at all. From what I can tell it is an antivirus site? lol. Anyway I've clicked all over and filled out forms hoping the next page would be to the actual download but I'm not seeing it. Is there a direct link somewhere that will automatically start the download when I click the link?

I loved the previous versions of the EQ browser very much and, recently returning to the boards here I'm stoked to find out about all of the recent updates!

Thanks,
Koshoji

Yes, very interesting looking. If needed I can host the files on my website (no ads or popups or anything!).
