to be honest I almost NEVER use current search menu on the main panel
99% of the time I click all/all and then go into NAME LIKE "bla"
imho, the only thing what should be left on main panel are search by name or partial ID, all the rest moved inside Advanced window
this is not something i would die over, but since you asked - i support Trev on this one

As for the ranges you are using, that is not the way that most people add new NPCs. I am not really sure why you would want to do it that way. I just use a range that is far above anything currently in PEQ, so in case I ever wanted to add someone else's database to mine, it would make at least that portion of doing it easy without worrying about multiple of the same ID trying to overwrite each other. Like for my database, I started at 2700000, and go up from there. I am up to about 2700700 or so now. It makes it easy for me to find any of my custom NPCs when I need to look for them. Is there a particular reason why you would want to fill in NPC IDs around where the current ones from PEQ are? Sounds to me like you would be better off by a "use next available ID" like what the item editor does when creating item ID numbers.

That becuase MOST people are not making 100% CUSTOM server =)
My Crushbone is so much diffirent from a typical Crushbone you got used to, than if you see it and your jaw don't drop- I will give you a cookie
and important thing that I maintain the order where npc ID ALWAYS falls into range of Zone ID number. So everything in Qeynos Catacombs starts with 45000+
this makes tracking down npcs ULTRA easy
another thing- when I make npcs i keep them in nice organized patterns.
If there are sceletons in zone ranging from lev 1 to lev 8, then this will be put in ids like this:
45001 - lev 1 skely
45002 - lev 2 skely
....
45008 - lev 8 skely
Now goblisn will start from 45011 to 45020 with 2 IDs left empty on PURPOSE, cuase thats where NAMED sceletons gona go when I add them at later date.
Some tiem I on purpose leave holes in ids secuences to put into quest/named mobs as proper by type, so all goblins come in single large chunk and not scatered all over the DB =)

Added an update 14.0.0 which has some of the suggestions added. Spell sorting will be added next.
Everquest Item Editor and Character Inventory Editor
- 14.0.0 - Changed to search by item/id on main screen. Search by class/slot now on advanced page - These were done via requests

George there seem to be some problem with version.
It seem that when say copy an item and the search again, it stats showing multiples of the same item (same name and id) even for items that allreday deleted, and tryign to search again keep showing you items that no longer exists
then after so many search clicks, a msg box pops up saying soemthign abotu must refresh, you click that, click search again and whole thing crashes
also - if posible please get rid of "%%" in the search by name menu =)
i mean put them inside the search comand but do not make us type them in if posible =)
also the LONGEST box with explanation text- could be made shorter =)
like "search by name" "search by id"

ahh I see what is happening -you adding items to the list WIHOUT clearing it first.
search for netted
click any of netted items
edit item > click copy
search for netted - your list now DOUBLES in size!
and somewhere past that a crush will follow
basicly any time search is run the list should be cleared automaticly
re: version - it is posible i do not have the version JUST before this one, i have the one BEFORE-BEFORE-this one, and it works fine

thanks George!
btw, any chance you could look at adding more char editing options?
stats and deity specificly (since they in a blob file inside DB I cannot get to them via sql browser)
Kayot have made a char editor a WHILE ago as part of his bigger editor (which he never truly finished and was never truly functional), and going everytime i need to edit a char kind of a pain. Perhaps you could find out from him how he did it and add that to your editor =)
this is a low priority request however

yes, blob editing is very possible. In fact I've also made a class to display some of the fields in the server stats program, but certainly can incorporate into the character editing part. Just need time and another 2 arms..

The new edit (for now) does not save. This edit function was too new and a pre-release if anything. The newest version I have has all that added. It's a bloody big update since the new item editing is very good and improved over the single line editing.
I'll release it this coming sat nite.

alright, good deal.
Can't wait for this release.
Also, is there a way to choose an items icon with this tool? Or do i need to input the icon number via the database?

George, on the subject of icon viewer, I keep trying to get your attention in its own thread but its geting dumped down everytime and I guess you keep missing it =)
Anyway, in its earlier version you had Spell icons there too, but in latest version they dissapeared. Could you get the spell icons back?
thanks =)
