ShowEQ 5.0.0.19 released

[Zaphod]

ShowEQ 5.0.0.19 has been released.

It works against EQ Live.

Here is an excerpt from the ChangeLog file:

dophaZ (04/06/05)
-----------------------

• Updated version to 5.0.0.19
• Update INSTALL to reflect new minimum automake 1.9 requirement for Makefile.dist users.
• Incorporated Purple's "5.0.0.18-purple1" patch.
  
  • Fix for sequence rollover in net layer with arqSeqWrapCutOff
  • Oversized packets will check for arqSeqGiveUp properly
  • Added a playback mode for tcpdump files (see notes)
  • Cleanup in PlayerProfile (fixed offset comments, got rid of some unknowns)
  • Handle spawns renaming themselves (new OP_SpawnRename). This renames fabled mobs which spawn after you are already in zone properly
  • Handle mobs changing level while you are in the zone (old
    OP_SpawnAppearance, new handler in SpawnShell for it). This properly levels fabled mobs which spawn after you are in the zone
  • Group chat that you say won't echo to the message shell twice
  • Fix to properly name the MPG trial zones chambersa-chambersf, instead of chambera-chamberf. zones.h was wrong.
• Incorporated Purple's added patch
  
  • Guild member list is aligned properly
  • Filled in unknowns in charProfileStruct for Bandolier, Potion Belt, air, hunger, thirst, instanceId, disciplines, personal tribute
  • fixed a type in opcode for OP_MemorizeSpell

This release has been tested to compile and run on stock Suse 9.2.

The tarball and Suse 9.2 RPMs for this release can be found in the ShowEQ Files section.

• showeq-5.0.0.19.tar.bz2
• showeq-5.0.0.19-1.i586.rpm
• showeq-5.0.0.19-1.x86_64.rpm

To configure, compile, and install ShowEQ itself from the tar file, all you have to do is the following:

$ tar xjvf showeq-5.0.0.19.tar.bz2
$ cd showeq-5.0.0.19
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

If you happen to be on Suse 9.2 (and possibly Suse 9.1 and other RPM based systems) you can use the RPMs that I put up... So, on an Suse 9.2 system with an i586/i686 processor you only have to do the following to install ShowEQ:

$ rpm -ihv showeq-5.0.0.19-1.i586.rpm

If you use the RPMs please install the ShowEQ maps from the showeq-maps RPM.

Tanner will release debs for debian.

Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)

Edit: Added Suse 9.2 x86_64 RPM.

Fedora Core 3 and RHEL 4 rpms are up in my usual location:

http://gibbled.com/seq

To install these on Fedora Core 3 for the first time, download both the maps and the application package, then go to the directory you saved them in and type the command

rpm -ivh showeq-5.0.0.19-1.i386.rpm showeq-maps-1.0-4.noarch.rpm

and the packages will install. As always, you will need to be root to install the packages or run ShowEQ. (If you're downloading a future version, of course the version numbers won't be the same.)

When you need to update, you will usually only need to update the showeq package, the showeq-maps package will rarely change. If you had a previous RPM version installed, just update with

rpm -Fvh showeq-5.0.0.19-1.i386.rpm

If you aren't using Fedora Core 3, but your system does use RPMs, feel free to try and see if these work. Due to differences in the libpcap and qt versions, I also have an RHEL4 version posted since I had a few requests for those, and the SRPM will build on RHEL3 and other white box rebuilds if you want to go that route.

Note that I've built it so that it places SEQ under /usr/bin, and the maps and other files in /usr/share/showeq, and documentation is in /usr/share/doc/showeq- but if you're a keener on keeping it in /usr/local it should be relocateable.
