[Shin Noir]

I'm writing this horrid hack job to try to get the playerprofile tool to work with a new struct.

Any programmers out there wish to help me? My skills with this sort of stuff is terribly lacking.

Essentially, with ppconvert, I need to convert this struct:

struct VZTZ_Struct
{
/*0000*/	uint32				checksum;			// Checksum from CRC32::SetEQChecksum
/*0004*/	char				name[64];			// Name of player sizes not right
/*0068*/	char				last_name[32];		// Last name of player sizes not right
/*0100*/	uint32				gender;				// Player Gender - 0 Male, 1 Female
/*0104*/	uint32				race;				// Player race
/*0108*/	uint32				class_;				// Player class
/*0112*/	uint32				unknown0112;		//
/*0116*/	uint32				level;				// Level of player (might be one byte)
/*0120*/	BindStruct			binds[5];           // Bind points (primary is first)
/*0220*/	uint32				deity;				// deity
/*0224*/	uint32				guild_id;
/*0228*/	uint32				birthday;			// characters bday
/*0232*/	uint32				lastlogin;			// last login or zone time
/*0236*/	uint32				timePlayedMin;			// in minutes
/*0240*/	uint8				pvp;
/*0241*/	uint8				level2; //no idea why this is here, but thats how it is on live

to latest SVN struct.


I wrote a terrible hack job (that actually seems to semi work) here:

	case (sizeof(VZTZ_Struct)+1305): { //Shin: Added a converter for our version.
		VZTZ_Struct* ops = (VZTZ_Struct*)src;
		PlayerProfile_Struct* pp = (PlayerProfile_Struct*)dst;
		memcpy(dst, ops, sizeof(VZTZ_Struct));

This is a case I threw in at around line 301 of the ppconvert source. The problem is that it leaves a ton of discrepancies from the two different structs, one being that buffs aren't properly removed, so e.g. if you had a debuff prior to this conversion, it comes up as a permanent "unknown" debuff that has negative #showbuff ticks remaining and never goes away, even after death.

I tried to do this:
memset(pp->buffs, 0, sizeof(VZTZ_Struct)); //Zero out buffs?

but I can't figure out the sizeof() portion, the other routines utilize a e.g. "memcpy(pp->unknown0245, &ops->fatigue, StructDist(ops, fatigue, guild_id2));"
which seems to call the struct again after modifying the value or something, it kind of confuses me how this thing works.

Not sure what else is broken. I wrote a semi change log of the differences here:

		//Changes needed: abilitySlotRefresh from uint32 to uint 8
		//Resize from uint8 unknown3224[448] to uint8 unknown3224[128] 
		//Add empty uint32				drakkin_heritage;	//
		//Add empty uint32				drakkin_tattoo;		//
		//Add empty 	uint32				drakkin_details;	//
		//Resize from char unknown6392[668]; to char unknown6392[656];
		//add empty uint32				entityid;
		//add empty uint32				leadAAActive;
		//add empty uint32				unknown7056;
		//recasttimers added uint32				recastTimers[MAX_RECAST_TYPES]
		//unknown 7744 should be empty? char unknown7744[160]
		//add uint32				timeentitledonaccount
		//add uint32				RestTimer

I can give you the source, or would love any direction. Spent a ton of time on this and it's really showing how much I suck at C++. I hate this kind of bit-sensitive crap.

Also, ppconvert by default doesn't include a db.ini file and that's an old EtherealQuest route of handling data, so may want to have the format distributed for that util..
