Agreed. My C++ is kinda rusty so it's taking me a bit longer than I'd hoped. I'll try to see if I can get the first whack at a complete update done by next week. I'll have to come up with a decent way to keep it updated without having to hand jam in all the struct changes and opcode changes everytime. The opcodes aren't too bad as there is a script out there that does and should just take some minor tweaking to get at least workable. The structs are a bit more problematic since they aren't one to one with showeq. Also keep in mind I'm only working on the collector, not the other pieces just yet. First things first.

Wow, this is some really good news. Nice work!

Would it be good to put this into a project someplace so those interested can combine efforts?

Small update....

I got the code mostly updated and working on Linux but I'm still stuck on a windows version. I took a break to try to get the windows compile going. I had it down to 5 errors and in fixing those I now am up to around 70. I'll get it eventually, but I'm going to take a break from that and start my live collects to see where I need to start adjusting the structs and see if I can get it enough along to distribute back out for folks to start collecting...

I have gotten eqemucollector to compile but I am still getting errors on the linking.
This is one of the errors, but I haven't had much time to research them.

EQStreamPair.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "class std::vector > StreamDestroyHandlers" (?StreamDestroyHandlers@@3V?$vecto
r@P6AXPBVEQStreamPair@@@ZV?$allocator@P6AXPBVEQStreamPair@@@Z@std@@@std@@A)

I am building it on a virtual pc running xp and visual c++ 6.0. I didn't have any luck building it with visual studio 2003.

I have had to move some files around and things of that nature. I assume this means that the source I downloaded wouldn't have compiled back when it was commited to sourceforge.

Also I am only working on the CLI version at this point. There is a DumpHeaders project that is missing from the cvs. At this point I don't think it is required.

I'm using Visual C++ Pro 2008 to work on it but I'm running into many of the issues you are on Windows I'm sure. Are you removing the MFC stuff? I'm considering going that route, but if you are going to work on the Windows version I may just defer to you and stick with the Linux version since it is actually working...

If you have the collector or any of the other tools compiling under Linux, maybe we should get an SVN setup for them or add them somewhere in the existing SVN. I think all of those programs are pretty small, so it could probably be added directly into the trunk of the /utils directory of the EQEmu server source code. That way, people can work together to get them working easier. I think CD and KLS would be ok with adding you guys to the SVN if you are working on the collector/builder tools.

I assume that if the collector is working under Linux, that it can just watch the packets going to a Windows box if both the Windows PC and Linux PC are connected to a hub. That is how ShowEQ works anyway. I already have this setup going for ShowEQ packet collects, so it would be very easy for me to use it. It would be nice to have the packet sniffer working on Windows to make it so anyone could use it, but the others are fine being Linux only IMO.

Interesting stuff!
