ShowEQ 5.2.1 for Live 10/27

[purple]

Announcing the release of ShowEQ version 5.2.1. This version is compatible with EQ Live as of 10/27. Other than live compatibility, this release contains no bugfixes or new features. The release is purely to maintain compatibility with live servers as of the 10/27 patch. I haven't really tested this much, but it seemed ok at 2am when I really needed to get to bed...

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Not all opcodes are remapped after the patch, but 99% of them are. Thanks to ieatacid for help with opcodes.
- The gm flag in spawnStruct hasn't been refound again, so people may randomly show up flagged as *GM* in your spawn list. If you prefer to be an optimist, maybe I randomly picked the correct byte from the 385 byte struct. If you prefer to be a realist, I probably didn't.

Really other than the random GM flagging, I don't expect anything that was working before to stop working. Actually, a lot more opcodes are correct now than were prepatch, as I hadn't really been keeping them up except the important ones since they changed back during the summer.

Changelog:

purple (10/27/05)
-------------------
+ Updated version to 5.2.1.0
+ Fixed all opcodes for patch on 10/27 (thanks ieatacid for help)
+ Redid spawnStruct for patch, added showhelm flag
+ Added 8 bytes to the end of charProfileStruct, including showhelm flag

Fetch the new release from the files section on sourceforge, or if you prefer to live on the edge and do anoncvs, I'd imagine sourceforge will be updated by tomorrow afternoon sometime, depending on the temperature and the price of tea in china.

To install:

$ tar xjvf showeq-5.2.1.0.tar.bz2
$ cd showeq-5.2.1.0
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

If you have problems with ./configure, try:

$ LIBC=gnu ./configure

If you use packages for your specific distribution maintained by someone who isn't me, I'm imagine they will be along shortly so please be patient.

[dogmeat]

as always, thanks dude.

[hug]

Wow, thanks Purple! That was less than a half day turn around from servers up till fixed. Did you manage to get any sleep?

[uRit1u2CBBA=]

I think he got seq working with the patch in less time it took me to get my custom UI refit to work.

[LordCrush]

Purple you rock !! - Thank you

[BlueAdept]

You rock. Thank you so much!

[Gulfdiver]

Thanks Purple and all the others who cracnked this out for us.. I've only been back in game for about 6 months now.. but dam I rely on this tool to keep me from getting lost on raids.. (I like to afk to smoke a butt or 2.. I don't smoke in the house)

Oh and btw.. I got a laugh out of Purple's phrase

depending on the temperature and the price of tea in china

I ain't heard that phrase in years! (I think Purple's dated himself)

Thanks for the update purple. One question... I'm running Fedora 4, and I keep getting an error on the ./configure command. I tried both and neither is working. Any ideas?

[purple]

I have an excellent idea. Try cut and pasting the error message you're getting in here so someone has half a chance to help.

Sorry, I wasn't on my linux box when I made the first post. Here's the error from LIBC=gnu ./configure command:

Thanks for your help!

[purple]

Do you even have a compiler installed?

[Cryonic]

help questions really do need to be posted in the helpdesk section, not as replies in the News section.

You appear to be missing the dev tools...
