Question--where am I supposed to drop the files that come in the .zip?

Where ever you want. I use my c:/unzipped directory, so the item editor is in C:/unzipped/eqitems.

Eh, all right. I ask because I unzipped 'em to my server folder, tried to open, and got an error regarding a MySQL connection error, the db.ini which I changed prior, and an inquiry about installing the ODBC drivers. I ran the batch app in the resources folder, but still getting the error.

Install this and reboot:
http://66.159.225.58/eqemu/ODBC_DRIVERS.ZIP

The file is off George's site, it's ODBC drivers.

That did it--thanks a bunch!

Thanks for the suggestions - graphic changes will wait. I spent hours on those. Regarding the spell loading, the 12K load in a split second, but putting them in a grid takes a loong time. That's the problem. I have not found a solution for it. I will have to do it by name search I'm afraid.

Oh, a grid to sort by name or ID by clicking columns? I think you could just do it the way the Line Editor does by loading from a file. Then just sort the file by name before adding it to the zip using excel the way I mentioned in another post. That way, it is easy for people to edit the spells.txt file so that they can have their own custom spells in it. A partial name search would be nice, but it would be good to have both options if possible.
