Project Lazarus SEQ Offsets for Laz?
- Thread starter RYN227
- Start date
A helpful chap on Laz discord provided the myseqserver.ini details he uses, but i still can't get this to work. The client connects to the server but I am seeing nothing. No maps, no npcs, nothing in spawnlist... just a blank screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am using the client and server from RG, I edited the server ini with the provided details. No luck.

# =======================
# d) display current offsets
# r) reload all offsets from INI file
# spo) set a primary offset (index/name) (hex value)
# sso) set a secondary offset (index/name) (hex value)
# ez) examine raw data using pZone
# et) examine raw data using pTarget
# ew) examine raw data using pWorld
# fz) find zonename using pZone (zonename)
# ft) find spawnname using pTarget (spawnname)
# fs) find spawnname using pSelf (spawnname)
# ps) process a spawn entity using pSelf
# pt) process a spawn entity using pTarget
# sp) scan process names (process name)

# vt) walk the spawnlist (forward) using pTarget
# x) exit
#
# >
#
#
# To select a command, type it in and press Enter. Some commands require
# arguments, which are indicated in parenthesis.
#
# If you are having troubling just accessing the EQ process, first try the 'scan process names' command:
# > sp
#
# You can provide an optional process name to attempt to scan for and access, but if you do not provide
# any arguments, then it will default to 'eqgame'. You will see a list of processes detected on your system
# and if a match is found, it will try and access it, providing feedback on the results. Prior to server v1.19.1,
# this was a case-sensitive match. For server v1.19.1 and higher, the check is case-insensitive. We had some
# problems on a Win2K system regarding this.
#
# When new offsets are needed, you can start the server in debug mode and it will use the
# old offsets as starting points to locate the new offsets.
#
# The first thing is to locate the zonename. Just enter a zone that you know the name of, like the Bazaar,
# and use the "fz" command along with the appropriate shortname for the zone:
# > fz Bazaar
#
# You should see a list of matches. Anyone of them could potentially be a valid pZone value. Select one and
# place it in the INI file above under ZoneAddr. Now press 'r' to reload the INI file into the debug server.
# Press 'd' to verify your change was actually loaded.
#
# Next we want to locate the pTarget value, stored above as TargetAddr. Inside the game, select any target NPC
# or PC other than yourself. It is best to select a uniquely named NPC, like "Boss Hogg". Do not select an NPC
# with a re-used name, like "a rat". Now you need to determine the hidden name of that NPC. To do this, replace
# any spaces in the name with underscores, and stick a 00 on the end. So "Boss Hogg" becomes "Boss_Hogg00".
# Use this hidden name as the sole argument to the 'ft' command:
# > ft Boss_Hogg00
#
# You should see a list of matches. Anyone of them could potentially be a valid pTarget. Select one and
# place it in the INI file above under TargetAddr. Press 'r' to reload the INI file.
#
# Next we want to locate the pSpawnlist value, stored above as SpawnHeaderAddr. This is very easy once you have
# pTarget done above. Simply select any target in the game and use the 'wt' command:
# > wt
#
# You should see a long list of spawn information dump out. At the end, we do an automatic scan looking for
# where that entry point pointer lives. You should see a list of matches. Anyone of them could potentially be
# a valid pSpawnlist. Select one and place it in the INI file above under SpawnHeaderAddr. Press 'r' to reload
# the INI file.
#
# Next we want to locate the pSelf value, store above as CharInfo. Inside the game, select yourself as the
# target (press F1) and use the 'ft' command along with your characters first name:
# > ft Yourfirstname
#
# You should see a list of matches. Anyone of them could potentially be a valid pSelf. Select one and
# place it in the INI file above under CharInfo. Press 'r' to reload the INI file.
#
# Last we want to locate the pGroundItems value, stored above as ItemsAddr. Just use the 'sg' command and
# look for matched pointers that look like 'ITxxxxx_ACTORDEF', where xxxxx is any 3 or 5 digit number.
# > sg
# Scanning for 'IT' from 0x7d62c4 to 0x9d62c4
# Pointer match found at 0x8d62c4. Full string is IT10805_ACTORDEF
# Pointer match found at 0x9bc648. Full string is ITORTOKEN
#
# Of course the first one here looks good. Put it in the INI file above under ItemsAddr. Press 'r' to
# reload the INI file.
#
# You can now exit the server (press 'x') and restart it in normal mode. Try attaching the client to it.
# As long as none of the secondary offsets have changed, it should work. If it only works for a short time
# and then stops working, repeat the above procedure, but this time make different selections in the match
# lists.
#
# If the secondary offsets have changed, or the basic design of how they obtain spawn information, the server
# may need to be updated. The other debug options can be used to aid in locating secondary offsets, but it
# is so involved that it is probably best to use a full blown RAM editor. Please visit our forums to learn
# how to help ( http://www.showeq.net/ and look for the MySEQ subforums).
#
# Notes:
# - All string searches are case sensitive!
# - As you get matches, write them all down! If a function works for a minute or so and then stops working, try the
# next match in the list.
# - If you use the spo/sso functions, the changes are NOT made in the INI file. Once you exit, those changes are lost.
# - Only reverse walks (wt/ws) will scan for entry point pointers. Forward walks will just show the spawns and return.

I'll keep messing with it, if anyone has ideas I am open to suggestions!

I'll keep messing with it, if anyone has ideas I am open to suggestions!
I compared the two sets of offset infos I got from Laz discord and they were the same. At this point I have no reason to believe they are incorrect. Something must be broken on my side.
I looked at the config.ini as well and noticed offsets were listed there so I made all of them match with the server.ini. That didn't work either.
I looked at the config.ini as well and noticed offsets were listed there so I made all of them match with the server.ini. That didn't work either.
When I do the offset finder on the laz eqgame.exe, the primary offsets match what was given to me (other than patch date) and I get all matches:
However, the secondaries are a mess:
I am not sure what to do next. There are people who report that their instance of SEQ works fine, what is different in my situation? It doesn't seem like MySEQ is real popular anymore so getting assistance with this one has been a challenge. I've been reading the ShowEQ forums and it seems others aren't having this issue. Other SEQ users on Laz discord say its working for them and don't know what to tell me.
Anyone have any other ideas?

I am wondering if I can't start up SEQ with this eqgame.exe because of the optional 4GB memory patch. You point the tool at the exe and it says it changes something inside the executable to allow it to utilize more memory. It also says that it automatically creates a backup of the original but I remember running the tool twice because it did something I didn't expect and I wanted to make sure.
ntcore.com
This might explain a few things:
If this theory does check out, I really don't want to trade stability for convenience... not sure what I'll do then.
4GB Patch – NTCore
ntcore.com
This might explain a few things:
- Why SEQ is not very popular on emu.
- Why only a few people shared their offset infos and said it worked fine for them.
- Why the file modified date was way off from what people expected it to be (the date it has is when I followed the laz setup guide)
If this theory does check out, I really don't want to trade stability for convenience... not sure what I'll do then.
Sic saved the day! The offsets were correct, the real issue was the version of MySEQ available here on RG was too modern to be compatible with ROF2 EQ.
The fix was to go to SourceForge and get an older version (2.3.1):
sourceforge.net
I am SEQ'ing right now! Thanks again Sic!!
