Null Spell Editor

[Null]

I put up a new version that will save your loading preferences. I also added a button to reset them and a check box for password inclusion. The default remote location for spdat and skills are now pointing at the trunk instead of the spellsbranch.

The additional icon previews will take a bit more time then I have at the moment, but its definitely something I can work in eventually.

Thanks for the requests Trevius!

edit:

I spoke too soon, small problem with the spdat and skills file preference saving, ill have a new version up soon.

So apparently the object I am using to bring up the file browser window doesn't expose the absolute path of the file that is selected...

This means that I cannot save off the path to use later. You can enter a local file path in the URL field then click 'Load URL' and it will load the file for you and save the path.

Ill look into it some more and if I think of a better option ill put it in later on.

Thanks for the changes/fixes so far

It looks like the skills.h is still being a bit flakey, though. I am able to load from URL like you suggested by putting my local path in there for spdat.h, but it fails for skills.h:

F:\EQEmuServer\zone\spdat.h

F:\EQEmuServer\common\skills.h

Probably related to the problem with browsing for the local file that was happening before.

Ok, I finally reproduced the error that you are getting. The only way I could get it to react the way that you are describing is to extract the zip to a new folder and not run trustfall.bat for that folder. The bug is that the status label is getting set to complete for spdat.h even though its getting a flash player error in the background preventing it from loading.

Try running trustfall.bat and see if that doesn't clear up the problem.

Thanks. It looks like everything is working great now. All of the information is saving properly with 1 exception; The spell file location doesn't save. I think if you added a field for the location like the other files, it could be saved.

When I try to load the spell file from the database I get an error that says, "Database Error". I can load the spell file locally, and I can connect to the database, but if I click "From Database" it gives me the above error.

I also have an issue with writing changes or full write to database. The former does nothing and the latter just drops my entire spells_new table.

I'm not sure what the issue is. I've tried it out on two different PCs, neither worked right.

I'd very much like to get this working because for one, it's sexy, and for two, since I'm rather anal retentive about making sure every detail is complete, importing spell files after minor changes to one thing (which I do a lot, ugh) takes up quite a bit of time and having the option to apply the changes directly to the database would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, nice job on the editor! Looking good.

I'm not sure if you are taking feature requests yet, but you mentioned your editor reads the new_icon field. I was interested in quality checking some of my spell gems.. and your editor looks perfect to see the stats and the graphics simultaneously. However, I use a different lineup of gem placement and pictures. Is there some way to replace what is loaded for the pictures?

Once again, nice job! This is the most attractive spell editor I've seen yet. Had no issues running it across a LAN.

The only other time I have seen something like this happen was when one of the database fields got a name change. What SVN Build are you using?

If it is the above problem, I just need to update the SQL queries and it should be good to go, but I am unsure of the best approach to keep things like this from breaking in the future.

maybe expose the expected field list so it doesn't take a recompile to fix?
