Item Editor Suggestion

**GeorgeS** · #1 06-27-2008, 09:30 PM

I'm working on a class which does the expand contract stuff - but thanks for the code in the pm.

So far I've managed to place all the fields on a 1024x768 form, and am now working on making it actually work.

Just an update - the new edit item form is 1/2 done. It reads all item data, and displays the info like trevius' form above. The only thing left is to be able to write the data back to the database.

I managed to complete about 1/2 of the program edit. So far it will read the items, but save is not begun. So far about 16 hours in and 1/2 way done..

The new edit button is "new edit".

There are likely many issues still with this - and when you consider the complexity of this, I will be spending some time on fixing things.

The latest version has this included.

Wow, I knew this would take a while to do, and sorry about the extra work lol. But, HOLY COW THAT LOOKS AWESOME! I will start testing this immediately!

Thanks a million, GeorgeS!

Ok ran into a problem and need opinions

When one wants to choose a new spell (say for a click item), the program currently tries to load ~12000 spells which takes 40 seconds on my fast pc. Now this may be a problem on slower pc's. I cannot load the spells into memory and leave it there because it takes mucho memory. So my best option is for the user to search (partial name ok) for all matching spells and id's - that way it will only load those in memory and reduce processing time.

Does this sound plausable?

Hmm, on the line editor window, it only takes my PC about 3 seconds to load all 12K spells. I have the latest version of the editor, but the new edit doesn't have the spell search in it yet for me to test that. I don't suspect it should take any longer though if it was done the same way.

Maybe a window that doesn't automatically populate all 12K spells would work. Like, if you popped up a window with the option to search by partial name and it would list them. But, also have a button that would just list them all if you wanted to wait for them all to load?

Very pretty, I'll start testing

Question--where am I supposed to drop the files that come in the .zip?

Where ever you want. I use my c:/unzipped directory, so the item editor is in C:/unzipped/eqitems.

That's been integrated for quite some time now - and you downloaded that already. However, in your other post, it appears you have not only the wrong database, but also the graphic driver shows the screen layout incorrectly. I would examine the driver issue seriously, or replace with a newer video card.

Download a newer version of the database on the main page - or else your incompatibility issues will never be solved.

Thanks
GeorgeS
