Oh one more thing about item iconsthe reason I cant figure out the order, is for instance the Cloth Cap item has an icon id of 505 but it is in items1.tga bottom row first column. So what I was asking is what the id's are and or how to figure out the pattern of how you numbered them

Just point the admin tool (newest version: this is is important) at the folder where SimpleClient's icon files are and it will use them. Icons start at ID 500 and progress top-to-bottom, left-to-right. Don't ask me why, this is simply the way the live client does it and I decided to use the same scheme since it made life a lot easier when adding support for SimpleClient to the admin tool. You can always add new icon files, the client will load as many as are there as long as they're numbered consecutively. Same goes for the admin tool; they're designed to be expandable.

There is no encryption at this time. I don't know anything about it and it's a low priority given all of the other things on people's wish lists.

You should always export the BSP tree from OpenZone. The file format supports either, but SimpleClient only supports BSP trees. More to the point, my 3D engine only supports them.

Well 5.5 refuses to connect to the database reguardless of what mysql version I use or libmysql.dll file it refuses to connect at all ever either locally or remotely, thats why I have been using 5.3 which works fine aside from the icons.

Oh no no I wasnt asking for there to be encryption. I was merely asking if there was any implimented already that I would need to impliment if I wanted to make my own Login Server for it

Hmmm. A simple workaround for the admin tool would be to do the following:

- Make a folder (any name)
- In it, make a "uifiles" subfolder
- In *that*, make a "default" subfolder so that you have a "uifiles\default" structure
- Copy SimpleClient's icon files over to the uifiles\default folder you made
- Rename the icon files so they match EQLive's naming scheme, that is, dragitem1.tga, dragitem2.tga, etc.
- Point the admin tool to the top-level folder you created.

Thanks I was actually thinking about doing that, I take it the same would work for spell icons as well? Same number scheme I mean?

Yes, spell icons work the same way as live. You can use them with OpenSpell with a little file renaming.
