Woah, thanks! I know Derision has some ways to read through the IDA output from the eqgame.exe that he can use to find many fields. I am not quite that knowledgeable about the ASM code. You have no idea how much of a pain it was to do the field finding stuff I have done for it so far lol. I wish I had this code from the start! I will definitely give it a try.
The SoF spawn struct to this point is pretty much chaotic. The unknown fields are essentially all just spacers at this point. We do not know the exact size of any particular unknown for sure. I had just been breaking them down and testing each section 1 by 1. It is hard to know what fields should be int8, in16 or int32 or maybe char.
I don't know how much of a pain it would be, but possibly if Derision has the time, maybe he could go through and break down the unknown parts of the structure into the proper sized fields. I am pretty sure he can do this just by reading the ASM code. Not that I want to give him more work, or offer him up to do something for us, but I think he is the only one in EQEmu who knows enough to actually do it. I may be wrong, but this step might not be too bad to do by just going down the ASM code.
Then, once the fields are broken down into the proper sizes and places, we can use this testing code to isolate what each field actually does. With the fields all in the right place, this step should be able to be done by just about anyone. I bet we can find new things that we didn't even know existed by doing this lol. Maybe we need to make a list of exactly what we are missing and also new stuff that we might expect to find. That way, we know exactly what to look for when testing this stuff so we do the appropriate test for each change we try.
Without having the proper field sizes and placement, the only other way I can think to do this properly would be to break down each unknown into separate int8s. That would mean a few hundred unknown int8 fields. It would also mean adjusting the case switching on that test code, but it wouldn't be too rough to do if necessary.
