Guild tags gone?

Lane · Post by **Lane** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 10:38 pm

I'm not seeing guild tags in /who. Are there still a few things not working? Without MQ running it shows the guild tag.

Also, is there a way to use the original EQ commands and not get the expanded versions? There are times when I want to do a /who and SS it but then I can't really send it or post it.

Thanks all, and Woot me for getting MQ compiled with help from all the posts.

Salutations,
it's probably a struct problem, IE MQ is accidently writing that segment of the struct to be null (or something... I'm not a reliable source on this)

[Memory Locations]
Zoning=00728464
Zones=00728480
SpawnHeader=00728484
Items=00728488

Char=007284C0
CharInfo=007284C8
Target=007284CC
Guilds=0

Mouse=0
Attack=0

Notice the offset for guilds?

Salutations,
point.

Actually yes, I did see that as it was the first place I looked. Didn't realize that "Guilds" refered to the singular of the guild in the line of each player from /who.

I'm screwed now I guess since I don't think I have any old exe files to look at to find the info I need.

After looking over the disassembled eqgame.exe, and doing a debug (softice) I find that the guild string text is at 0x006bc7c4. I am betting that the offset should be 0x006bc770. However putting 006bc770 in the .ini displays partial and incorrect guild names. This leads me to believe that MQ is no long pulling guild tags correctly.

If someone else wants to run with this and figure out why we cant get guild info in our /who, go for it.

I have modified MQ.h and eqlib.cpp to NOT detour /who. With macro filtering on, /who was one of the things that made the client look different. I am also giving back many of the standard commands that will not affect macros.

I may add a booleen in the .ini that would put MQ into stealth mode, rather than posting my modified source where these changes are hard coded.

I'd rather see the boolean myself.

Greetings Constructs,

The offset for Guilds should be set to $006BC7C4

And, the code needs to be modified to reflect the proper size of the guild name. Guild nemas must have been 96 characters long, now they are 64.

So the following needs to be changed in EQLib.cpp -- SuperWhoDisplay

Code: Select all

strcat(szName,(PCHAR)(EQADDR_GUILDLIST + 96 * pSpawn->GuildID));

TO

Code: Select all

strcat(szName,(PCHAR)(EQADDR_GUILDLIST + 64 * pSpawn->GuildID));

End of line...

Fantastic! Always good to see a problem fixed. Will incorporate into the next source code.

Thanks NealThorpayt!

And it was NealThorpayt's first post. Nice fix and thank you for working on it. I'm sure it will benefit others and not just me.

Any info on LFG or is anyone trying to fix it?

Wanting to know so I don't try to figure this out if someone already/is in process of doing it.

No LFG is a pain when you are asked to form groups from LFG people on raids. Not like you can tell them what the problem is either. :) I havn't checked for LFG people in the LFG tool.... Hmm

LFG is broken in SuperWho?

I disabled the MQ /who response in my code so that I could get the standard EQclient response.

Work is crazy right now.. no promises, but I will try to take a look at that.

Looks like the <LD> and <LFG> output problems of SuperWho are related. We are not parsing the PC zone data properly.

LEQM is a great looking project. I am looking at how they are handling zone character data to see if there is anything to be learned from it. It might be time to rework SuperWho and SuperWhoTarget.
