Release MQ2Search

[Alatyami]

I cannot remember when/where but some one asked for a plugin that would allow you to lookup npc's and items while in game. Well here it is ...

MQ2Search - Opens a web browser to search Allakhazam's and EQTraders for items, recipes, and npc's.

Author: Alatyami
Version: 1.0
Date: January 1, 2009

# Search for item on Allakhazam's
/alla item [string|item link]

# Search for NPCs on Allakhazam's
/alla npc [string]

# Search for item information on EqTraders.com
/eqtrader i [item link]

# Search for recipes requiring item on EqTraders.com
/eqtrader r [item link]

// MQ2Search.cpp : Defines the entry point for the DLL application.
#include "../MQ2Plugin.h"

PreSetup("MQ2Search");

// GLOBAL VARIABLES


// FUNCTION PROTOTYPES
void cmdSearchAlla (PSPAWNINFO, PCHAR);

// FUNCTIONS
void cmdSearchAlla (PSPAWNINFO pChar, PCHAR szLine) {
	char szOption[MAX_STRING];
	//char szArg[MAX_STRING];
	char szURL[MAX_STRING];

	GetArg(szOption, szLine, 1);

	if (!strcmp (szOption, "item")) {
		strcpy(szURL, "/www everquest.allakhazam.com/search.html?q=");
		if ( szLine[5] == 0x12) {
			string strLine(szLine + 56);
			const char* cnstCharLine = strLine.c_str();
			strcat(szURL, cnstCharLine);
		} else {
			string strLine(szLine + 5);

		}
	}

	}

I'll get right on this when I get home. Is this going to be a public or private source?

 

[Alatyami]

Public

 

[jacen]

thank you

 

[Czarman]

Nice post. Red Centage inc.

 

[Cyant]

May I make a suggestion for version 1.1 ?

Modify it and make it work with %t that way we dont have to type the name, only need to target the mob and do "/alla npc %t" for example.

That would be even more awesome, thanks!

 

[Alatyami]

Noted for v1.1

 

[alt228]

Couldn't you already do "/alla npc ${Target.CleanName}" and accomplish the %t functionality already? (I could be wrong on the CleanName vs Name though and I'm at work so I can't verify in game)

 

[Cyant]

Oh that does work, red cents for you thanks!

 

[nyghteyes]

Been using the hell out of this, with new expac I dont have everything in spawnmaster yet. Thanks for the awesome work again Yammers

 

[Alatyami]

Nice to see some usage out it

Next step will be to make it an in-game window

 

[nyghteyes]

Yams, if you did that and had a voice like Jmo I would think youd be after my first born.

 

[Jmo]

DADDY?!

 

[Alatyami]

LOL

MQ2Search - Opens a web browser to search Allakhazam's and EQTraders for items, recipes, and npc's.

/alla item [string|item link] - Search for item on Allakhazam's
/alla npc [string] - Search for NPCs on Allakhazam's -
/eqtrader i [item link] - Search for item information on EqTraders.com
/eqtrader r [item link] - Search for recipes requiring item on EqTraders.com - Search for item information on EqTraders.com

Hot Key Suggestion Thanks alt228. Will search Allakhazams.com for any npc you have targeted.
/alla npc ${Target.CleanName}

Hot Key Suggestion. Will search Allakhazams.com for current item on your cursor.
/alla item ${Cursor.Name}

 

[Tahur]

Not sure if something has changed but the /alla npc ${Target.CleanName} does not work. It opens alla but only to the npc search page, not to the mob that is targeted.

 

[Maskoi]

is probably just a url change. Should be an easy fix we look into it.
thanks for the bug report.
