Very awesome, GeorgeS! I love that we can now see all NPC fields

I will test out the new stuff and let you know if I see any issues or think of anything else. very nice update so far, though!

If I run this on Vista/Windows7 I get the initial graphic with the start option, but it does not allow me click start, nor does it give any errors.

Previous version worked fine...

Any ideas?

I have the same issue. I'm going to guess it doesn't recognize my database schema although it is 1751 as far as I can tell.

Here's a screen shot of the splash screen. If this is a case of unrecognized database it would be nice if there was an easier way to quit than killing the process manually.

I'll beef up the code to remove the splash lock up screen issue.

Since your splash screen says dbversion unknown, I will guess you don't have the version field in the variables table. But at least I think it's a missing version field. In a previous version the program fixed this by adding the field to your database.

I will add this code back tonight

Thanks fo letting me know

edit*
I take it back, it's not db schema, but the sound playing dll. I am fixing it now...
Also please check for your everquest folder in db.ini. The program looks for a file in this folder and it crashes if the path is wrong.

I am compiling the new version now - it should be live in 10 minutes..

That was the problem. I just copied the db.ini from an older version and didn't change anything. That file had a comment that said you'd just get no music if it was set to an incorrect directory, so I left it set to the wrong place on purpose.

Working now, thank you.

Unless I am just not seeing it, it looks like the qglobals field may have been removed from the NPC editor main screen.
