cannot get packetcollector to populate textfiles nor upload

[Doodman]

I'm finishing up the new packetcollector. To address you exact points:

Error: InflatePacket: inflate() returned -3 'unknown compression method'

There is a bug in PC where it could process packets out of order therefore breaking sync with the encryption. I figured out (with help from some of the ShowEQ guys) how to fix it and am in the process of doing so.

I figure the fail to upload might be that you guys are releasing a new version and needed to change acts/pwds

Correct, we do this when the db changes so that existing PC's in the field will not corrupt the data.

but why don't the txt files get populated?

One of two reasons, if it was never sync'd up it will not see items/texts. You should see lines like "New Item: Blahblah (222)" if it "sees" new items. Texts actually need to be read (right clicking on the book/scroll from main inv) to be added.. You'll see "New Text: (xxx) blahblah" when it sees one.
