Here is a link to the post from right before when SoF was released stating that he was able to get the spawn struct from the eqgame.exe and that it should be fully accurate:

Since that struct didn't change in the update following the SoF release and they said everything in SEQ was still functional, I am wondering if it is safe to assume that it is correct. Ultimately, I wish I knew exactly what he did to pull all of that info from the .exe and if I knew that, this would be simple.

Here is the Spawn_Struct according to SEQ at the time of SoF (and a few patches later as well):

/*

** Length: 897 Octets 
** Used in: 
**   dbSpawnStruct

*/

Part of the problem may be that I had to change this considerably to fit in all of the stuff that EQEmu currently uses for settings on spawns within the same number of bytes. Also, I don't know how to count the signed and padding stuff, so my structure size may be off.

It is still possible that something else could be the cause of my crashes, but at least by fixing everything as much as possible now, it will mean less work later. I am glad that the itemlist stuff is all done now, so it should hopefully work as soon as it is ready to get to that point
