serialize
That applies to items. This does not edit items - Use Mangoo's item editor - no need to re-invent the wheel..
Ok, the help/tutorial is practically complete -
Here's the link to the tuts
http://www.wizardportal.com/optimaiv...ial/excel.html
I am testing the app now and in beta stage for the week.
Let me know if there's stuff you want added.
...things like explanation of merchants, spells, npc special attacks etc...
Editing items is low in the priority list.
Anyway, so far the app works very well and it's super fast for spawns and making npc's. After the beta, I will release the program...stay tuned

merchants code
Just an update on what I'm working on now -
-Writing eq database backup/restore code - done! see this link
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19490
-Writing Merchant tools (Edit/Delete/Create Merchants VERY EASILY!) -done!
-Working on finishing tutorials and guide on how to use this package -done!
-Adding code to RANDOMISE merchant sell stuff
This works by running some code which adds roughly
1-10 common items
1-10 medium rare items
1-10 rare stuffs
Each time it's run, the merchant sell lists are updated!
Works very well and is tested.
Customizable in every respect...
50% Done
-Roaming Mobs - Tired of seeing static mobs - well this editor should fix that.
0% Done
Just a heads up
Package should be released fri. nite! - pending no big problems..

beta testing
Tonight and thursday nite beta testing is continuing
So far the bugs I found were easily found and fixed.
Creating new merchants work very well so far, add/delete sell items as well.
Spawning custom npc's and npc camp spawns will be tonights focus.
If all goes well then by friday the app will be released.
I also updated the help file
Here's the link to the tuts/help
http://www.wizardportal.com/optimaiv...ial/excel.html
edit -
Thursday nite was a success. I created merchants and they showed up correctly. Also, created a spawn group of spectres in sro tower, even made a named pop up randomly, and that worked perfectly.

It uses Excel. That's correct. I cannot program spreadsheet functionality easily in VB6. One thing I am slightly concerned about is differences between excel XP vs. excel 2K. I prolly should test it on the XP machine...
-edit
fixed some issues and the utility works as I meant it to.
Found lot's of merchants with missing merchant_id's. Added a utility to fix that and populate their lists with 20 common items.
Everything works well. I am working on the help file and should have a release later today/tonight

update
some added features -
grid-waypoint (pathing) editing
user lookup tools
many many little enhancements.
..i've been using this tool a great deal and so far been enjoying it.
As an addon to my Excel_eq database editor, I am releasing a utility (.exe)
that allows you to search the ITEMS table and identify items by class and type, etc...
It will also identify which NPC drops the item/s
get it here
http://66.159.225.58/uwe/eqitems.zip
...place contents anywhere, but you must put a copy of your db.ini in the folder.

only one problem so far
When I attempt to type in text it will not take it.... opening the file for editing tells me i have an incompatible version of excel. I have Microsoft Excel Viewer 2003. I am sure its something stupid that I am doing.... if you could just let me know what that was.
Was wondering if the version of excell i downloaded is a viewer and wont let me edit? or is it the year that is wrong? Thanks in advance.

That "Excel is required" thing is kinda a deal breaker for me. I don't have Excel on my computer at all. In fact, I don't any microsoft office programs on my computer!
I use OpenOffice.Org for all my document and spreadsheet needs.
I realize that doing so at this point would most likely require a major overhaul of your code, but you should look into using an embedded MySQL database engine or something like SQLite instead of Excel to store your data.
