LinkDB Update

[Jmo]

For the compilers out there, here's the fixed source for MQ2LinkDB.cpp. I did not fix this myself, I am just simply passing the message along (all props goes to ieatacid for the fix). I am also posting an updated items file and the compiled .dll.

Replace:

   if (Item->loregroup > 1000)
   {
     // Evolving
      sprintf (cLink, "\x12%d%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%1d%04X%1X%08X%s\x12",
         0,
         Item->id,
         0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Augs
         1, Item->loregroup, (Item->id%10)+1, // Evolving items (0=no 1=evolving, lore group, level)
         hash, // Item hash
         Item->name);
   }
   else
   {
      // Non-evolving
      sprintf (cLink, "\x12%d%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%1d%04X%1X%08X%s\x12",
         0,
         Item->id,
         0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Augs
         0, 0, 0, // Evolving items (0=no 1=evolving, lore group, level)
         hash, // Item hash
         Item->name);
   }
}

With:

   if (Item->loregroup > 1000)
   {
      // Evolving
      sprintf (cLink, "\x12%d%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%1d%04X%1X%05X%08X%s\x12",
         0,
         Item->id,
         0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Augs
         1, Item->loregroup, (Item->id%10)+1, // Evolving items (0=no 1=evolving, lore group, level)
         Item->icon,
         hash, // Item hash
         Item->name);
   }
   else
   {
      // Non-evolving
      sprintf (cLink, "\x12%d%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%05X%1d%04X%1X%05X%08X%s\x12",
         0,
         Item->id,
         0, 0, 0, 0, 0, // Augs
         0, 0, 0, // Evolving items (0=no 1=evolving, lore group, level)
         Item->icon,
         hash, // Item hash
         Item->name);
   }
}

Make sure to "/link /import" in order to refresh your links file so it works. Hope that helps. =)

sweet thanks, been hoping for an update for this.

 

[nadia69]

great ty for that )

 

[nadia69]

you cant click on link does nothing

 

[Jmo]

try /link /import again to refresh the list. It worked for me.

 

[Jmo]

I tested this again tonight and mine is working like a charm. Did you update your items.txt file Nadia?

 

[unity0110]

i don't have any problems linking either, make sure you're using an updated version of the MQ2LinkDB.dll and a updated version of the items.txt from eqitems then type /link /import and you should be gtg.

 

[nadia69]

ty that work just fine now )

 

[Jmo]

Woot! Glad to hear nadia!

 

[Jmo]

Also, here's an updated Items.txt file from the EQItems website, the file I posted earlier was the updated ItemsDB.ini.

 

[Fenix8452]

I still have some items that will not display, although they are found in the database, but the link won't open the item window.

Two items that I know won't work are the circlet of shadow and the nerfed version with shadows.

 

[Jmo]

That always happens, even with an updated DB. Kinda sucks but I've never found a way around it. I will look into it though.

 

[Fenix8452]

Ok, wasn't meaning to nitpick at all, just wanted to know if I was the only one. I just figured that with a list of items as large as that is, parsing data can cause odd issues every now and then if the logic isn't perfect. I'm a bit rusty at looking at code though, and I haven't been able to find a problem with it yet.

Most of the time this works like a charm.

 

[Jmo]

Aye. Wasn't calling you out or anything. It's actually a problem I've wondered about a lot, never been able to figure it out either. I think it's just broken links honestly.
