/selectitem bugged (fixed in 2003 12 30 release)

Shali · Post by **Shali** » Thu Dec 25, 2003 3:56 pm

with the new version of MQ2 (dec 25th) /selectitem appears to be broken

something like this:

    /selectitem "water flask" merchant

will send the selector to the right spot on the merchant, but for some reason, the buy/sell button changes to sell, instead of buy, not quite sure why it is functioning this way

The SlotID in the CSIDLWND struct is incorrect, that's all I know.

hmm Id hope for Lax to look at this since he is the master of that struct... or maybe Amadeus wants to give it a shot, Im short on time right now...

Sorry, Lax is really the only one with the tools to verify this, if you want the truth. I checked into it somewhat, but to my eyes the struct looks pretty much the same as it did before.

How are you confirming that SlotID is wrong?

Well, I figured out how to fix the /selectitem ;however, in doing it, I break the UI Labels ..lol. My best guess is that there is actually two types of 'SlotIDs' ..and, technically, I could duct tape things together to make it all work...but, it would be sheer guesswork and duct tape, and we don't want that.

This fixes /selectitem ..but breaks UI labels:

Code: Select all

			union {
/*0x110*/			_CXSTR  *SidlScreen;
/*0x110*/			DWORD SlotID;
			};
/*0x114*/	LPVOID  SidlPiece;

This ...does the opposite (breaks /select item and UI labels are fixes)

Code: Select all

/*0x110*/   struct  _CXSTR  *SidlScreen; 
/*0x114*/   union { 
                    LPVOID SidlPiece;   // CScreenPieceTemplate (important)  
                    DWORD   SlotID; 
            };

If I were to guess ..I'd guess both were unions and involve two different types of SlotIDs....but, like I said, it's sheer guessing....

Soooo...it's back to waiting on Lax.

Indeed, Labels dont use the same SlotID anymore. Fixed in dev cvs.

EQMERCHWINDOW fixed in dev cvs as well.

Would this also cause...

/Click Left Item

to malfunction in that nothing is selected.

/Click Left Item

I am also searching for this answer.. since I have dicovered that starting from the Dec 25th build /Click Left Item also does not work for me.

This is the closest thing I've found to an answer so far. If someone could verify that would solve the puzzle I've been working on today.

you could always just wait for us to update the zip, and go back to actually playing the game

I'm pretty sure this is broken because they renumbered the messages.

EqMule · Post by **EqMule** » Sun Dec 28, 2003 8:11 pm

yes thats exactly what it is ... I can fix it in like 10 secs *shrug*, but im waiting until lax/Amadeus updates are done and a new and working zip is posted.
