EQBuilder 2.0

PM me your gmail email address if you have one. I have something that might help you with doing the opcode work.

Cavedude or KLS might need to chime in on if we want to start including these tools in the standard EQEmu download in the utils directory. Either that or we can always setup a new SVN page just for these tools. You may want to PM your gmail address to Cavedude and KLS as well in case they want to get you added to the SVN if it is decided that we want to just add them to the /utils folder. Sylaei might want to send their Gmail address as well to us just in case.

I think that many of the structures should be similar or matching EQLive with what we have already for SoF. For the ones that are not matching yet, it should be fairly easy to make the needed adjustments to make sure they do match.

Once the tools are on an SVN somewhere that I have access to, I can certainly help to finalize any structure or opcode issues that might remain. I am getting good at that stuff :P

It is going to be awesome to get this stuff working again. I have really been dreading trying to do SoF AAs all manually from ShowEQ packet logs. Once the tools are working again fully, collecting the AA information should only take me an hour or so to log in each class and collect and then convert them into the table. Then, I am sure there will need to be some cleanup done to finalize it, but that is much easier than the part of converting each packet manually into a database entry!

Yeah, these tools should go in utils. Shoot me a PM with a gmail address (or an email address that has been linked to google) and I'll setup access. Just make sure you put World Building tools or something in the title so I don't miss the PM.

Andrew80k, I would like to get the collector to compile then attempt to remove the MFC crap. At some point I assume we'll try to merge the windows and linux code into one. I'm also going to move to 2008 after the MFC is removed.

I'll keep working on the windows version and you can put the linux version out there so we can get started collecting from live sooner.

Sounds good. I should be able to put something out in a week or two.

When you get SVN access setup, feel free to PM me if you have any questions about how to use it or how to do commits. It's pretty simple once you do it for the first time.

If possible, you can put what you have so far on the SVN before it is ready. Then I can help with structs and stuff. If you would rather wait until it is ready, that is fine too, but it doesn't have to be done to go on the SVN IMO. That is part of the reason for having the SVN so multiple people can work together

I have it down to 3 linker errors. Getting close I think.

Sweet! I pulled all the code out separate from the build, reorganized it and got it compiling under utils. As soon as I get it going with the current live stuff I'll put it on the svn.
