---------------------
- Updated version to 4.3.13
- Removed confusing, but benign "Running without libEQ.cpp message
- Updated races.h from posts by uRit1u2CBBA=, curio, icyman, pooz, and patch #812234
"More races.h data" from llaffer. - Modified the map code to paint the specials for the selected spawn
point even if showSpawnPoints is off. Also, added an option to draw
a line (of the appropriate color) to the selected spawn point (default's
to off). - Incorporated Belith/UnGod's map converter patch from the forums
- Added a mention to INSTALL.newbies to the README (not that anyone does
read the README, but heh, gotta try... ;)) - Applied patch #803848 9-10-2003 -- Shared Platinum Slot, compile warning
- Applied patch #807103 Con Color Patch for Levels 57-65
- Started coordinating opcodes/structures with the EQEmu team
- Beginnings of Assorted cleanup of everquest.h
- Added some spellbook handling and the ability to dump your spellbook.
- Updated slot_to_name to support new slot numbers
- Removed the PktLogger from logger.{cpp, h} and the nonsense hooking it in.
May it rest in pieces. Left the SpawnLogger for now... - A bunch of cleanup in SpellShell and some in SpellList
- Added BuffDropCode handling to SpellShell
- Added Spells() class that loads spells_en.txt and provides access to its data
- Improved load speed of eqstr_en.txt for formatted messsage strings.
It turns out QTextStream::readLine() is ridiculously slow. - Minor optimizations and cleanup in EQPacket::dispatchZoneData()
- Added support for the new item packet format.
- Assorted bug fixes and optimizations
- renamed old spells.h to staticspells.h until I figure out how to handle it..
- updated spells_en2spellsh.pl to use new format and write to new file
- Fixed "no skittles" issue related to the packet format (changes or just
a bit we didn't know about being used more often). For the packet jocks in the
crowd EQPacketFormatRaw::m_flagsLo.m_unknown2 is now .m_nak, as in negative
acknowledgement. Apparently this bit is either new or just really being excercised
alot with the new item data format (which may explain why naked or near naked characters
saw it less, and why it happens more on less optimal networks). Thanks go out to LordCrush
who provided the packet capture that allowed me to find and fix this problem. - Integrated the zone name fixing half of curio's ldonzonefilter.patch file until a better
solution can be found. I don't agree with the filter part and so didn't integrate it.
NOTE: This release requires spells_en.txt to be placed in the directory pointed at by LOGDIR, typically /usr/local/share/showeq, in order for spell names and information to appear properly.
NOTE: This release included many changes in the directory hierarchy. don't forget to do a 'make -f Makefile.dist', 'configure', 'make', and last but definitely not least 'make install'.
It should be appearing on the pserver and ViewCVS server in about 24 hours.
Due to the sad :( state of SourceForges' pserver access to CVS I have created a tarball release of the 4.3.13 ShowEQ sources.
The ShowEQ 4.3.13 tarball contains all of the latest changes and may be found here in the ShowEQ Files section and on my site.
Users of my previous release (4.3.12) may choose to just apply the patch that can be found here at my site (because it's too large to attach to this message).
Enjoy,
Zaphod (dohpaZ)
