So I am reposting them here =)

few coments on improving the Item Editor:

on MAIn Display window (where item stats are shown):

-I think you should put Regeneration, Mana Regeneration and End_Regeneration on the same line to save room on display (perhaps shorten them to HP_Reg, Mana_Reg, End_Reg?)

-ATTUNEABLE (if yes) coudl be displayed right after LORE

Under OLD Edit options:

-Endurance_regeneration - coudl be usefull to be placed rigth after where Mana Regeneration is

-Size, could be helpfull rigth after where WEIGHT is (note diffirent from BAg Size), followed by MATERIAL

-Haste should be inserted before ATTACK

-Aug Slots, should include slots 4 and 5

-Loregroup - moved to the top after NODROP, and Followed by ATTUNEABLE

thanks! =)

Oh yeah I hope that recent changes to DB/source won't mess up your editors (they added quite a few things to the tables in Rev535)

I have not forgotten this. Some of these are pretty hard because they require reformatting of a pretty complicated string array - and messing with it can break stuff.
I'll see how many I can do.

Ok George - I just downlaoded the latest version - all seem working =)

A few coments thought:

On Main Item Display:

-if item has all 3 properties set : Hp, mana and Endurance regeneration - the Endurance one will not be displayed (despite the fact that its sits on a separate line from the other too). If item has just Mana and End or just Jp and End- then Endurance will be displayed

-The main display doesn't show if item has Aug slots 4 and 5 available on it if even if does

-some items (i havent figured out a pattern toit yet) for some reason have a blank line betwin lines where HP/Stats and Weight is displayed. Some of them do, and soem don't - i don't know why. I have compared 2 nearly identical items and one of them apears with a blank line in the middle while other does not. As far as I can tell all stats are displayed, but perhaps there is somehtign cuasing it which may have a detrimental effect later on - so better let you know =)

-In Old edit menu - could stil use ATTUNEABLE scetion in the list somewhere after NO RENT, thgout this one is a low priority i guess



In the new Char Profile Editor - things look GOOD!!! =)

But I would like to make a sugestion that text boxes for things like Race and Class should be replaced with pull down list boxes to choose from

still playing around with it thought =)

George- BIG troubles

the spawn editor is screwed up

I have just made a tiny adjustment in npc respawn time and clicked SAVE
instead fo savign adjustment for the spawn group i was editing is picked what seem to be a RANDOM spawn group from the same zone table and saved chages in there overwritign ALL entries in that group.

At first I could nto figure out what has happened when all spawns fro the group I was editign got DOUBLED spaws in game.
I went in, found duplicate group, deleted it.. and saved again

BOOM - another random spawn group has been overwriten with the values from spawn group I was editing - now half of my city guards are gone, and that group i was editign now has TRIPLE spawns in game.

Ok confirmed this as well. It's doing something to the last spawngroup or makes a copy and overwrites data.
I'm on it now..

Sorry for the error!

*edit*
Ok found the bug!!
Fixed it and now spawngroups will save ok

NPC and Loot Editor
08.22.02 - Fixed code in spawngroup section to prevent duplicate spawngroups.
