NPC and loot editor - update2

GeorgeS,

Since you made the grid editor part of the NPC Loot Editor now, I figured this is the best place to post about this issue. The problem I am seeing is that when you edit the WPs in a grid (the pause length for example in the WPs), and then save it, it doesn't actually save over the grid number you edited. Instead, it seems to overwrite the last added grid number with all of WPs from the one you were editing as well as the edited changes.

I have noticed problems with this in the past, but didn't figure out what was happening until tonight. I was always wondering why my grids were getting messed up when I was using the editor. The way it currently is, you can only edit the highest grid number for the zone. Everything else has to be redone manually from in-game.

I don't think that is intended, and I imagine it was probably just a mistake somewhere. I think getting that fixed would make the tool much more useful.

Other than that, I am still amazed at how nice your tools are now. They were great when I first started using them and they have only gotten better from that point. I can't believe how nice you have gotten them to this point. I think they are pretty complete as is. I can't thank you enough hehe. Without them, I would be lost!

If you need more information on the grid problem I am seeing, just let me know.

ah i suspected something like that. I could not figure out why the heck one of my patruling guards suddenly switched his walking path to be identical to one of the named mobs =)

This bug was verified on my system as well, and found the source of the probem in my code. Sorry for the bug!- I know it can cause big DB problems! It's at least fixed now and thanks for the bug report

08.20.08 - Fixed saving Grid bug. Now the correct grid will be updated and not the last one as before.

I just downloaded the latest npc_loot_editor and when I type in a zone, and tell it to search, I get the following error, running Vista 64-bit: "Run-time error '3265': Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal."

The older version worked great with vista, i'm not sure when this was broken, but the version that worked for me, was last modified 3/28/08 on my computer.

It's np if you don't want to fix this, I'll just use the old version. Just wanted to let you know.
Thanks.

'fraid I do not get this error on vista32. I did not change any zone code in recent history...

Can anyone verify this error?

Oh, I'm dumb, the version that still works for me is: 07.33.00.

More on this,
If I try to search an empty zone, I don't get the error. But if I add 1 npc to that zone, that doesn't even have a faction or loot table assigned to him, I get the error if I try to search that zone again. I did this because the error said something about items, looking at it again I don't think it meant EQ items

. It doesn't even seem to try to load any of the npc's, it just instantly pops up that error.
