If you're gonna do the commit in the next week or so, I'll just wait for that. And BTW, thanks for your efforts. ;-)

I was looking into logging (only) the loc of the currently targeted or selected mob, so that I can read this information in a Xylobot script. (Xylobot's big weakness over Macroquest is that it has...

Wasn't exp in the grey nerfed a while back? As I recall, the ZEM was 85 (like a dungeon) and then got nerfed down, although I don't know the new value.

Did the formula work for you in other...

Packet CRC errors sounds like a hardware issue. <shrug> Wasn't aware that it was a known issue; it seems to work fine for me.

I am running .10 with the /con patch and the bazaartracker patch.

I am running .10 on a pentium-233, and I have updates cranked down to 5 fps, but it works fine.

Based on your symptoms, I would suspect hardware issues. Start by looking at your system logs; you...

Patch worked for me too, once I updated it with the opcode from Codepig. The 'thing.pl' perl script is a bit rudimentary, but it works.

I am also exploring the possibility of doing something with...

Its a cool idea and clearly the way this should work, but if it were me, I would wait on this until a month or so after LDoN is released. In my experience, every expansion modifies the EQ datastream...

By broken, I mean that all mobs /con deep red, regardless of their level. Its as if ShowEQ is ignoring the settings you enter and treating the player's character as if its level 1.

Not a big...

Hmm, I probably have an older version of some file. My newest (unpatched) file is dated 6/7, although I did the CVS update on 6/10.

Based on the comments about changes to the size of the packet,...

I should add that some people also use their firewall machine as their ShowEQ machine, and have an advanced configuration that allows them to perform both duties on the same box. Since all packets...

You need a dedicated box to run the firewall on. Any old machine will do; I use a P-90 with 32 megs of ram and a 600 meg HD. You also need a network card and your modem.

IPcop...

I can confirm that turning off 'auto detect settings' under character drop-down seems to totally fix crashes after 6/11 patch. I am running CVS current as of 6/10 + diff posted in recent post titled...

Good security is all about balancing the effort of securing versus the risks.

In this case, the mod that I recommended takes about 30 seconds to accomplish; you just cut a couple of pins on the...

They would put the detection features in the EQ client, which is behind the firewall.

In fact, they would probably do this anyway, since it would place the processing burden on the client machine,...

Attached is an cut-down copy of a recent firewall log; 199.108.2.* resolves to eqworld-xx.989studios.com.

My quick-glance impression is that this is just eqgame.exe looking for a home for its...

You might also check out IPCop. Its a great opensource router/firewall based on Smoothwall. Similar features to Freesco and comes with a fancy web-based management interface. Also has advanced...

Sony can ban you for whatever reason they want--that IS in the EULA. A weak or plain wrong explanation in response to a routine inquiry would be just the thing to set off a series of explanations...

No, but it certainly could be considered suspicious on the typical home lan/cable modem setup. You could obviously come up with the usual "I was debugging my LAN" story, but I would rather not ever...

I while ago, I noticed that Sony changed the manner in which the EQ client does portscans when it starts up. Of course, this got me thinking about how ShowEQ might be detected. While I wasn't able...
