I also opened up the Station Cash site but that's kinda pointless.

I have the .txt file with the dump of all the packets extracted from the pcap with EQExtractor2 in a rar file uploaded to this link if anyone wants it. Dunno if it'll be of use to you guys but there you go

Typically I know it is easier to break apart collects that are in segments of the actions that you perform while taking the capture.

Ex:
'Hiring Mercenary.pcap'
'Ranger Gate.pcap'
'Zoning.pcap'

Some of the guys might have a way to break down the packet capture of that size and go through it that way but I know it is easier to dig through a packet capture if you know what you are looking for within a certain time frame otherwise it because a vast sea of information. Someone else might be able to comment on that as well.

When Secrets was working on Mercenaries before Trevius I had made collects of every action which helps the breakdown of what you are looking for action/opcode wise (Noport go away).

I find it's easier to put them all in one capture but use something like a say message to denote the start and end of the action.

Less loading up different captures, but to each his own. =p
