IMHO concentrate of a char editor most of all: stats, deyty, race.
Cuase thats the one we are missing the most =)
May as well make it stand alone so it will small and fast to downlaod/use

[Kayot]

Originally I was going to make it stand alone, but that would kill drag and drop. Not to mention Item/Spell storage.

Funny thing, the first editor I made was mainly so I could juice my characters without a lot of data searching. Then I started playing on PEQ and used my program to tell me where items dropped, spawns spawned, and merchants had rare whatever. It was nice using a single search of all weapons sold by default on merchants so I could buy the best on PEQ. Though I'm sure it's also underhanded.

BTW, my laptop can't go full screen, it says it fails to initize. Any one solve this problem? It's putting a major kink in development.

.

you see, lost and lots things abotu char and or items can be edited directly in DB - items, charges whatever.

the one thing i cannot posible edit is the stupid BLOB file, which contains 4 essential things: stats, deyty, race and class - thats why i belive this little thing should be stand alone =)

Not trying to derail the thread, but here is a relatively easy way to change the profile blob using a MySQL query:

UPDATE character_ SET profile = INSERT((SELECT profile FROM (SELECT * FROM character_) AS x WHERE id = 748),(4720+1),4,RPAD(CHAR(100),4,CHAR(0))) WHERE id = 748;

This would give a character with an ID of 748 100 platinum.

In theory, you can change 4720 to any field # in the profile blob & the 100 to whatever numeric value you want it set to. You would then need to change the 4's to correspond with however many characters the data takes up (32-bit integers are 4, for example), otherwise the blob will become corrupt (too many/too few characters).

Some might be wondering why there are 2 subqueries. The answer is discussed here, and it's basically a workaround for not being able to query the same table in an update.

I verified it works without any issues on an existing toon.

If anyone has any questions about this, please feel free to ask in another thread.

I just had the editor dump the profile into an array ^-^, it takes a bit more ram but makes adding edits a joke.

There is ONE thing that I haven't been able to access with any available tools, and it annoys the piss out of me.

If anyone were to figure out this riddle, I would gladly build a goat-shrine in your honor.

Kayot,
Very Excited to hear the news, always been a big fan of your work I really like the current format of it.

[So_1337]

What OS are you running on your laptop? The last time I had problems with it saying it couldn't go full screen, I was trying to run DOS programs on Vista and had to fire them up in DosBox.

[Kayot]

XP all the way baby, and HP said it couldn't be done on a new laptop.

leslamarch: Which part do you like the most?

[leslamarch]

Drag and drop feature, where the storage applies to all parts of the program. The starting items for each race class and so on. I guess the best part though is the all in one, all selected from the editors menu. Just a Huge fan of this editor.
