EQEmulator Forums - Spell names too long

There are a few spells in spells_us.txt (Titanium) which have a name of more than 31 characters. Sadly the SPDat_Spell_Struct only allocates 32 bytes for the spell name. My guess is that the player_1 field gets overwritten on spells loading (which may have no noticeable effect, I have no idea what this field is for).

I spotted this potential problem while working on the spells file to make a full table out of it. Would a developer have a look at this, and possibly enlarge the name field if it has no other nasty side effect ? I cannot answer for the last question as I lack the experience needed in the Emu server code.

Here are the beginning of the SPDat and the spell entries with names over 31 characters :

Code:

struct SPDat_Spell_Struct

{

/* 000 */        int                        id;        // not used

/* 001 */        char                name[32]; // Name of the spell

/* 002 */        char                player_1[32]; // "PLAYER_1"

Code:

mysql> select spellid,name from spells where length(name) > 31;
