ShowEQ 5.0.0.23 for Live 6/29

[purple]

Announcing the release of ShowEQ version 5.0.0.23 which is compatible with live servers as of 6/29/2005. Semi-tested, which means works for me!

The ChangeLog:

purple (07/02/05)
---------------------
+ Strip the # off names before matching to filters to aid in filter writing
+ Strip the # off the strong of filters as well just to make the # irrevelant to filters (thanks BlueAdept for both these)
+ Cleaned up the help spew for --help. There were some bogus things in there.
+ Cleaned up the status bar exp/aa exp display
+ Added struct for OP_Illusion and a spawnshell handler so that illusions are propagated to the spawn list and the map
+ Filled in some missing races with artificial names not taken from the.exe (thanks uRit1u2CBBA=)
+ Added two known bugs to BUGS with descriptions and workarounds
+ Fixed some long zone names in zones.h and added new zones from .exe
+ Updated all opcodes for 6/29 patch (thanks Doodman, ieatacid)
+ Updated structs for 6/29 patch (spawnStruct, positioning structs mostly)

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-5.0.0.23.tar.bz2
$ cd showeq-5.0.0.23
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

If you have problems with ./configure, try:

$ LIBC=gnu ./configure

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

If you see a problem with filter.cpp compiling, you may need to update your QT! I think I inadvertantly used a QT 3.2 function. So if you're still on QT 3.1, you should upgrade! Personally, I'm on QT 3.3.4.

Your rock Purple and everyone else who helped. Thanks again we all would be lost without your contributions.

You guys rock, as per usually.

Thank you

Ty Purple and everyone else who played a part in this update, =)

By the way, the light source is broken in this version.

If you want to restore light sources, you need to edit everquest.h. Search for spawnStruct and edit the lines to make it look like this.

/*0281*/ uint8_t unknown0281;
/*0282*/ uint8_t  light;          // Spawn's lightsource
/*0283*/ uint8_t  gender;         // Gender (0=male, 1=female)
/*0284*/ char     name[64];       // Player's Name
/*0348*/ uint8_t  eyecolor2;      // Left eye color
/*0349*/ char     title[32];      // Title
/*0381*/ uint8_t unknown0382[2];
}; /*0383*/

Purple you are awesome and thank you to all who helped get this program back online. You are all very much appreciated for your efforts.

[SinginSam]

yup. just like ya said.

Tried Fedora Core 3 with "everything" checked for packages, and the above commands worked like a champ.

Scholars and Gentlemen...all of you.

[purple]

Thanks for finding light, BA.

[BlueAdept]

NP. Glad I could help. If they ever remove Greater Lightstones, I'll be in trouble. If I find anything else, I'll let you know.

Okay, i've got rpms built and up for FC3 and RHEL4...

They've changed location as my old hosting kicked the bucket.

New location is:

http://fedora.showeq.org

On the up side, I've now got my machines all nicely up at my new place, and will upgrade a box to FC4 asap to get cracking on that.

PS. I'm in a bit of a sticky situation with the signing since I can't remember my passphrase at the moment. I realized recently that the signing options I had set up originally had been overwritten by an RPM package upgrade and that for the past 5 releases or so, I had been cheerily signing packages with a non-existent key. I have a revocation cert for the key, but it's in storage atm with half my earthly belongings. If I don't remember the passphrase soon I'll create a new key and revoke the old one though. Since no one noticed when I broke my signing setup, I'm guessing not many people check the sigs, but people really should...

[CeleSEQ]

I've been informed that my rpm for Fedora Core 3 also cleanly installs and works on FC4, although the person who tested did already have some compat- packages installed, so you might need a couple of those.

I'll have more details when I can.
