Starting Work on SoF Opcodes/Structs

KLS, do you currently own an active (paid) EQLive account? As I said earlier, you can patch only up to a certain point if you don't own a currently active EQLive account. You have to log in to patch all of the file, and the only 2 options are having a paid account, or one of the free trial accounts. If you tried with a trial account, then you aren't running the same version as EQLive.

I will see what happens if I try swapping out an older eqmain.dll with the EQLive one. I would think it would have some errors if I do, but no harm in trying.

**KLS** · #2 01-11-2009, 11:09 PM

I have a live eq and eq2 acct. I know right? I'm thinking maybe it didn't fully patch for some reason (I didn't actually try to log into live after patching). It changed my eqhosts.txt so I'm guessing it patched the right directory.

Well there were patch files waiting so I'm guessing that's what happened. =(

**trevius** · #3 01-11-2009, 11:16 PM

Ahh yeah, I think if you haven't patched before, it usually needs to exit and restart the patching again to get everything fully up-to-date. Thanks for the info though. At least I know I am not crazy now lol.

Well I wouldn't say we could come to that conclusion... =p

Well, it isn't much, but I did make a little progress on getting into SoF tonight. I found that I had the wrong opcode for zonespawns that I thought was correct, but wasn't.

Here is the new stuff in the SoF EQ Debug output:

Code:

Since I was looking into Item Serialization more again today after seeing a post from Derision in another thread, I started working on it a bit more again. I think I have the serialization stuff mostly worked out. If only I had a single log from someone logging in during SoF (preferable 9/7/07 to 11/13/07), I could get everything working pretty easily at this point I think.

The thing I can't figure out with item serialization is that it seems to be sending the wrong structure for OP_CharacterInventory. I don't even see a structure for it in the structs file. I assume it is all being handled in the anniversary.cpp encode stuff. In the log above, this is the only 1 of my characters that will even log 1 item before it crashes. The others all just fail before getting to the first one. So, I assume it is something about that particular item that is letting it get that far. I don't know what the number 2083552304 means, but that number is supposed to be the inventory slot the item is in according to normal log files. Here is an example from titanium:

**Derision** · #6 01-12-2009, 09:27 AM

2083552304 is 7C307C30 in Hex. Ascii code 7C is the pipe symbol, |, and 30 is the number 0, so 7C307C30 is |0|0 which looks like serialised item data.

I should add that when I was working on the Bazaar, I was looking at some Live traces and *think* that I wasn't seeing item data being sent in a serialised format (didn't see any of those long strings of numbers separated by | symbols that are easy to spot in a packet trace). Maybe they stopped using that format for sending item data at some point.

**trevius** · #7 01-12-2009, 10:04 AM

If SEQ is showing the full packet, then you might be right. It seems more like they have each field broken down into int8,int16,int32,char,str, etc. Here is an example from SEQ from live:

The section highlighted in green is what I believe to be a single complete item. I was able to break down some of the serialization of the item and it is pretty similar to the order I already have set for SoF. As far as I could tell, it matched perfectly, at least for EQLive.

I was thinking the same thing about the number being the serialization. I'm not sure where equip slot is sent, because I don't see it in the serialization.

Here is some of the serialization breakdown I was doing, which was some guesswork and some simple hex converting and comparing to the itemfields list as well as looking at the 13th floor info for this item:

So, it looks like strings are separated by 0s and the rest is just defined sizes.

Note: If you scroll up and down on the code box with the green hex code in it above, it looks kinda like the Matrix screen, LOL
