There is no HoT client. There is Titanium (dics), SoF (discs,unfortunately), SoD (Steam), and UF (Steam) among the stable builds.

Sorry, I am using UF.

I have to say there seems to be an overriding assumption here that * I am wrong *

Because you did something retarded by removing the table completely instead of say, cleaning it out and just adding the 10 items to it. You think its cleaner to edit the source but that just shows your inexperience.

Ever think of making the charges column signed? Probably wouldn't dissolve your computer if you tried.

confirmed that adding an item with a click to the starting_items table with a item_charges value of 0 doesn't create the item with its max charges, as SharedDatabase::CreateBaseItem() appears to indicate. the item clicked says it is out of charges. setting item_charges to 1 resolves the issue, however. it could be that it is only an issue with items that have unlimited charges.

Hi Caryatis, thanks for your feedback. I have no problems admitting my inexperience with the eqemu source, however I am not inexperienced in software development and design.

Your assumption that "I think it's cleaner" is incorrect. I looked at my requirements and considered the options available. I chose the option that satisfied my requirements and was both simple and pragmatic.

If you read through the thread you see we have covered this already, it will not fix the issue. I agree with you though that it probably wont dissolve my computer.
