Player profile offset #s wrong?

While messing around with the player profile, and trying to shift some data around, I noticed:

/*0348*/ uint8 unknown0256[44];
/*0396*/ Color_Struct item_tint[MAX_MATERIALS];

I think item_tint should start at /*0392*/ (348+44 = 392). I tried to go through line by line, but I can't find where the numbers get back on track. My profile size is correct (/*19568*/), but I don't want to mess with anything until I know if the posted numbers are correct.

Anyone know or am I completely wrong? lol

Those comments shouldn't affect the actual pp. As long as the items are the correct size, that is.

As Joligario says, some of the offset comments are wrong, so just trust your math :) and correct the comments to have the correct values.

Also, the Unknown values should have a suffix that reflects their offset, so assuming Unknown0256 is really at offset 348, it should really be defined as:

Code:

/*0348*/ uint8 Unknown0348[44]

I understand that the comments don't have anything to do with the code, but I can't find where the other error is to realign the offsets, so I'm not sure at what offset I should be splitting for some sql code I'm writing. I guess I'll go through them again and try to find it.

Ah, didn't realise you needed absolute offsets for SQL purposes.

I think I've used code like this in the past to find the offsets:

Code:

        uchar *PPStartAddress = (uchar*) &m_pp;

        uchar *Unk256Address = (uchar*) &m_pp.unknown0256;

        printf("Unknown0256 is %i bytes into the player profile\n", Unk256Address - PPStartAddress);  fflush(stdout);

Put somewhere like Client::CompleteConnect

Output:

Code:

Unknown0256 is 348 bytes into the player profile

Thanks. Hopefully I get to this by this weekend and if I find where the offsets are wrong, I'll make the changes so everyone will have the correct numbers.

Just to update this, I fixed the PP comments and unknowns to match the math.
