13th floor item sourcing problem?

i might be off base here, but if the item db is new(since TSS release) there might be new fields eqemu might not be looking for and added to 13th.. like drakkin race and a new resist .

I'd say you are spot on.

Item/database structure has been updated and SV CORRUPITON has been added to the item display. More work to follow as the new fields are figured-out.

I'd say he's slightly off base..

the problem is the new structure, the 13th floor PL file that is used to source the items.txt is no longer valid as it makes references to fields that no longer exist. Also, the structure file that is posted for download is no longer valid for the same reason, not to mention that several NEW fields have been made/altered. Someone needs to contact whoever is in charge over at 13th to get an update

13th floor is a seperate project from us, they keep there items DB up to live, Live added new races and other new stuff to items. 13th floor is no longer a falid place to get our items from.

Sombody with a working items table needs to offer it for download and that 13th floor entry in the wiki needs to be deleted.

I ***was*** working on creating a new reference table but it got annoying so I thought I would wait for an official response... with what Matt has said I guess its back to the worktable... I will post if I come up with anything

it might actually not be that difficult, I think all I need to do is make some alterations to the PL file as it auto-inserts a couple fields that no longer are needed. plus I **think** I can mix a couple pre-existing structures to get the full field list... I just have problems with setting VARs as they dont ALL make a lot of sense to me so I apologize ahead of time if what I come up with is kinda... slapped together

Personally, if I run the PEQ database (up to Luclin expansion only), I shouldn't care about any new races or items. If the Emulator is frozen @ Titanium, I would presume that means no development will ever exceed DoDH expansion... so, no new 13th Floor items dumps are even needed - unless something is discovered/added prior to that expansion cap - at which time those particular items could be weeded out, reformatted, and added quite easily.

IMO.
