Resizing like that is planned, first I'm fixing the scrolling and zooming. Exp window probably won't happen without some info about how to pull this data out of the client, if it's even possible that is.
Crap, I think the last version is broken and won't update the locations of the mobs. I already have a fix, but it's too late to upload it atm, so i'll put it up with some other fixes in the morning

Its very easy with a lot of people saying this wont work and that wont work to get peed off and walk away, i would just like to say Thank you and WELL DONE CaveManBob for a grand piece of software, i really think with the current ui in eq that the only thing left that we really need is a spawn window and alert manager and i think thats just what you have created. thats all i really used ShowEQ for anyways for scouting and pulling on raids and checking for rare spawns as i move through a zone.
Things that i would like to see if at all possible and if any are easy to fix quickly
1. Choice of alert sound ie single wav file called alert.wav so i can still use my fav alert tune.
2. ability to resize the mob list window and map, mob list is more important to me than the map for initial view.
just fyi, but the server code compiles under gcc without any problems...
// gcc -c myseqserverc.cpp
// gcc -o myseqserverc.exe myseqserverc.o -lth32 -lwsock32
Extremely nice work, thank you CavemanBob.
Just got one "small" visual suggestion for the program. Maybe make an option of having more than one map window so you can use one for zooming in on your location, and another for overview? Generally something like this old picture of SINS http://sins.sourceforge.net/images/sins-lg.png
Again very nice work!

CaveManBob,
Holler if you need a place to host your stuff. Can get you setup rather quick.
CGEQ
Hmm.... are you using gcc natively under Windows or are you running cygwin? I'm doing the latter and have not managed to get it to compile successfully.Originally posted by user387
[B]just fyi, but the server code compiles under gcc without any problems...
native gcc...
why would I user cygwin?
New patch with new eqgame.exe, need new offsets?
Stuck at work, so I can't try it out, so I'll just ask. Does this also show the position of other players? Or only mobs currently?
players as well
Because it's a great environment for making Windows XP feel like it's a Linux box.Originally posted by user387

Could you give me a pointer to where to get the "native" version please? http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html seems to have various versions, all of which seem to be parts of larger projects.
Thanks.
New patch seems have broke it, anyone have the new offset?
Yes, if anyone has the offsets let me know. The MQ people seem to have them, but they aren't posted anywhere... If anyone wants to set up a SF project or something to throw this stuff up on that'd be great, I don't really have time at the moment.
Good to hear that the server builds under gcc, has anyone tried doing a command line build of the client with csc yet?
At any rate, here's a quick list of features coming today and stuff that won't be done int the short term anyway.
Coming Soon:
* Stupid annoying zooming... <- this is already done, defaults to a view of the whole map, then zooms in like it should
* Scroll bars are gone. These were pissing me off last so I just use the offset boxes at the bottom for scrolling now, if someone else wants to deal with them feel free
* WAY less network usage, I'm hacking all the usless crap out of the SPAWNINFO stuff, this should drop the usage from ~6.6Mb/s to closer to 1Mb/s, o this may fix some problems.
* Customizable beeps with wav's, I like this idea, probably go in after teh major changes above
* Resizing the map and listbox with a slider between them. This should be easy.
* Some sort of alert manager, again a good idea, gotta get the major stuff done first though
* Putting the offsets in a file with the server.
* Cleanup of the codebase: There's lots of hidden exceptions tossing uncaught exceptions that the c# docs don't mention and some general ugliness that needs to be fixes
* Other map windows... again a good idea, but the map control needs to be cleaned up some first
Not coming soon:
* Exp window. I have no idea where this data would come from in the client, but if anyone can figure out how to pull only your kils out of the client great
* Guild management stuff, same as above
Most of the above changes are already in place, but I think I'll put the new netcode in place before anything is released because that stupid brute for hack's been pissing me off since I started this thing...
As a quick note the new netcode uses ~170KB/s (1.3Mb/s) in a zone with 500 mobs and 250ms update time uncompressed, which I am MUCH happier with

Caveman is there any chance on getting body types into this project or is that even possible? I know for sure The grey has multitudes of traps if your looking for a zone to test it in, its helpful to see the body type because many times the said mob is type untargettable, timer, trap, things like this. Again thanks for the dedication you are putting into this.
