CVS Commit Nov 1, 2002 ShowEQ 4.3.1 - manual key entry support

fee (floyd) 11/01/2002
----------------------
+ ShowEQ 4.3.1
+ created 2 methods for manual key input, see Decoder menu for options
- manual key input via a dialog, input is expect to be in the form
0xFFAAFFAA00110011 (little endian)
- ability to set a file to load the key from, see the seqdef.xml for the default name
- load from the named key file.

+ updates in EQInterface and EQDecode classes to accomodate key entry
+ everquest.h - various struct updates


What you can and can't do! If you have the new LibEQ you will be able to enter your session key manually into showeq. You may do this via a dialog or a file, see the Decoder Menu. Please note that key entry is expected to be in Little Endian byte order (most significant bit is on the right).

The Dialog expects entry in the form of 0xFFAAFFAA00110011 (yes the 0x is required)

The Key File option expects to load 8 bytes of binary data. (also little endian)

A new libEQ.a will be released shortly, please check the usual places.

Alot if you are going to be asking where and how do you get a key. The Showeq project will not be providing any offical methods for gaining this information. Some users have already posted a primer on how to do this and I am sure lots and lots of options will become available from the community.

Thanks to mvern for getting this info http://seq.sourceforge.net/showthrea...&threadid=2253



Happy Weekend,

Would it be a good idea to create a new forum topic for the key script development ? or not want part of SEQ officially ....

Thank you everyone ... for your work.

new libEQ have been updated to the trifocus ftp's.

As always guys, excellent work. You've never let us down.

As always you guys are at your best when under the gun. ))

Was curious in the next CVS update if you could allow showeq to save the path and file name of the keyfile you enter yourself, it always defaults. Also, if you could make an option to allow showeq to automatically load the keyfile.day 5 seconds or so after zoning into a zone, I would be a very happy camper. :) Yes im lazy, i don't want to click on Load Session Key, I want it to work like it used to. :) Thanks
