The patcher looks to be coming along nicely. Just wondering if you were planning on having this open source at some point so others could hack on the code?

not sure about this yet, since the only reason to do so would be to "prove" that it doesnt have any backdoors or shit like that.. but there are other ways to find out things like that.. you can basicaly track everything an application does..
projects like this is my hobby, so its like giving away my hobby if others work on it :) if you know what i mean

I'd be more interested to have open source so if you happen to disappear, others (or myself, or whatever) could pick it up and continue working with it. All to often it seems people burn out after X days/weeks/months/years/etc and it would be nice to be able to extend it. Personally anyways, that why I much prefer open source applications to use in my projects.

However, that said, 99% of the time I never even look at the source code. Guess it's more of the idea that I *COULD* if I wanted too, not that I even would. Just imagine something down the road changing and not being able to update the patcher. :P

Just my $0.02 about it.

Sadly many of the good tools never have their source released.. Back in 2003 there were some great programs which I only have the compiled code. I could therefore never study how they were coded, or fix them when we were chasing live then. Think of the spell editors that probably don't work any more...

It's coming along quite nicely. He's adjusting path-files per client so each client will load files accordingly.

Background will look white in this case, it's really transparent.

Looks good. What's it written in? My quick guess is something.net.

Yeah, do you remember in eqemu ver. 4.5-5.0 when the eqemu tool was available? It was an all-in-one emu editor that worked very well I might add. It had an item editor, loot editor, grid creator, character manager and a lot more. Unfortunately that fell through as eqemu progressed and I do not believe the source was ever released.
