ShowEQ 5.0.0.22 for Live 5/18

[purple]

Now announcing the release of ShowEQ 5.0.0.22. This release should work against live servers as of 5/18/2005. Not a lot of testing, but not a lot of fixes in it either. If you have problems, please post in the Help Desk forum.

An excerpt from the Changelog:

purple (05/18/05)
---------------------
+ Updated version to 5.0.0.22
+ Found OP_SpawnRename again. It's used to rename the Bristlebane jesters
+ Fixed problem in net layer where opcodes were showing up as 0000. Treat 0000 as a special case where the app opcode is 00 + next byte on the wire
+ Fixed to work with patch on 05/18/2005 by bumping MAX_AA to 240

Fetch the new release from the files section of sourceforge, or if you prefer, anoncvs will probably be updated by tomorrow morning, depending on the whim of sourceforge's anoncvs mirroring.

To install:

$ tar xjvf showeq-5.0.0.22.tar.bz2
$ cd showeq-5.0.0.22
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

If you use packages from other people, they will more than likely be along shortly.

Hats off to Purple, coming threw again (eceptionaly fast!) after patch.

[HopalongKid]

Purple thanks for being so speedy in fixing this after patch. It has been said, but can't be said enough. /hats off

I am also even more happy that you include the command lines to extract and install the tarball. I am a learned novice ( if that is the lowest ) at Linux and it is a great help. I can actually update showeq myself instead of having others walk me thru it.

Thanks to ALL that have put in the time to make Showeq work and keep up to date. You are appreciated.

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-5.0.0.22-1.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-5.0.0.22-1.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. 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 is relocateable.

Max AA is 245, not 240....

[tanner]

I think he's referring to this:

http://macroquest2.com/phpBB2/viewto...?p=88695#88695

#define NUM_ALT_ABILITIES 0x3d4 

/* 0x1618 */   AALIST   AAList[NUM_ALT_ABILITIES/4]; // Dont ask me how they came to this array size...

0x3d4 = 980
980/4 = 245
