Ok, so i have the whole program up and running, which btw is fantastic. I can not however properly do step 2 of the tutorial. I do not ever get the loottable-id opened. I can only see the top bag.... cant create more bags.... im sure its a simple thing. If some one could just tell me what I have to do to get that small window to the left of the bag viewer (so that I can choose what bag im viewing) i would be set.

The 2 windows you want (to display the details) are activated by double-clicking. Select a row in one of the two windows and double click to open show the pop-ups.

...new lootdropid's are created by clicking on the button 'add new lootable id'
and this new # will appear in the sheet in cells between merchant_id and regen_rate cells. Click on the loottable id and the contents should appear in the two windows.

Ok, I can see the right of the two tables, always could. I can double click that and get the pop up menu, always could. Nothing i do will bring up the left table however. The one that allows me to select what "bag" I am looking in for the monster. I have tried double clicking, entering, or just spazzing on the loot table id # (i realize that is the number that tells it what "bags" to include) but I can not ever get that smaller blue window to open. It is just a yellow background.

I am using excel 2003 on windows XP

Thanks

Nice tool Mr G.

Very helpful indeed! Thanks

Feature Request:

If possible, the ability to take out spawns by selecting one and have it moved out into a new spawntable.

Just an Idea

If you single click on any 'bag' or lootdropid row - do you get the contents to show up in the right window?

If you cannot get that left window to pop up a menu, then I think the issue must be with the winXP Excel versions compatibility.

Anyway, what I will do today is find a fix for this issue so it works on your PC.
This should be a relatively easy fix

Thanks a ton, I love your program, just cant get that left window to appear.... so it is most likely the compatability issue.

Looking forward to the fix.

edit - Uploaded the newest version.

Ok, I fixed it so you can bring the pop-up by clicking once on any 'bag'/ lootdrop row and then pressing the spacebar - that brings up the pop-up menu. I will upload this later today after work ~ 6pm PST

Fixed some other minor misc errors as well...

..not sure if you know, but I also have a selective eq-database backup/restore tool (.exe) and 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

I am compiling a help for this utility.

Later
Mr.G

The program is workign wonderfully, I think i've found a small bug though. I start it up, and just hit search and let it search for hill. Then if i go down the list and click on each of the entries that show up once, the loot_table window gets smaller and smaller every time. Otherwise excellent work, I love it a bunch.

edit: oh yeah, i'm running excel 2k3 version 11.6

angelow · #25 01-12-2006, 11:47 AM

Did you get a chance to fix that problem I was having george? AKA if i redownload your program will it have the spacebar fix? or are you going to link a fix when you have time. Thanks in advance.

**GeorgeS** · #26 01-12-2006, 02:41 PM

Yes, I uploaded the update already. Same link

Let me know if the spacebar selection works...

Ok, I am having the same problem an earlier poster had now that I have redownloaded the program. When I click on the left window for items it continues to get smaller and smalelr untill it is a just a 1 dimensional line that I can not ineteract with..... So yes you fixed the one problem, but now it goes so small I can not interact with it after about 10 uses.

=(

Newest version should have the shrinking window issue solved. Let me know
if it still does this. I changed the window properties to resemble the right panel and the shrink appears to be gone. I never had the shrinking window on my version of XL (Win2K) but the window did flicker in an odd way.

You can now download this latest release...
