Yeah, after looking and the error I posted earlier from the EQ debug, I just noticed that slot 1792 would be 700 in hex, so it was probably off a byte since it had just loaded slot 6 and slot 7 would have been next. So, it sounds like we are just adding an extra byte somewhere that isn't needed.
I made some corrections to the item structure and am going to commit them to the SVN in a minute. It still isn't perfect, but seems to be loading at least the starter items I have tried very well now. Using the 13th floor info that AndMetal posted has helped alot I think, though it doesn't seem to be 100% accurate for SoF. At least it is a better guide.
One important one is that it seems like the filename field is just like any other string field. It should load a null byte if there is nothing in that field. The booktype field being set to int16 should have actually been int8, and the other byte there would be the filename field. The FF FF FF FF or 00 00 00 00 after that is actually an sint32 for loregroup. So, I think that makes a bit more sense now.
I am sure we can definitely get most of this structure sorted out without too many issues. Especially once we figure out where it is getting that extra byte from. I am thinking maybe one of the strings isn't supposed to have a null terminator after it or something. From what I can tell, I don't see any major difference between the items it was able to load and the item that threw off the struct by 1 byte. Maybe there is supposed to be an extra byte every few items or something...
