Item-Character inventory editor error

[blackdragonsdg]

Are you talking about the merchant editor inside the npc_loot_editor or is there another one I am not aware of?
The merchant editor that is launched from within the npc_loot_editor gives the same connection error as the other tools and crashes with the same run-time error 91 that is mentioned above.

Sorry, the old version of the tool - try this
http://georgestools.eqemulator.net/Merchant_Editor.zip

If this does not work, then this pretty much makes all tools that access the DB not working.
Can you zip up your db.ini or paste it here - just modify the password, but otherwise I would like to check it.

They all don't work now on latest releases.

Had to use old version for someone else who uses them (Ashes) .

[GeorgeS]

I uploaded a full beta with error logging

http://georgestools.eqemulator.net/eqitems.rar

Updated the db.ini -- please use this and only this in the file, and modify the credentials to yours.

host=localhost
user=root
password=eqemu
database=peq_2022
everquest_folder=c:\Underfoot_Steam

What I need if for each of you to paste the contents of the logfile.txt in root folder of this tool. Also, what version does work?

Thanks -GeorgeS

This won't even launch. I get Run-time error '53': File not found. It doesn't even specify which file it can't find.

[GeorgeS]

Oh, I think it needs an empty text file called logfile.txt in root folder where the exe runs from.

An update - thanks for MS for breaking compatibility

An ADO application does not run on down-level operating systems after you recompile it on a computer that is running Windows 7 SP 1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP 1 or that has KB983246 installed

Thank you Psiodon for that error log file- now that means one thing - I compiled using win7 SP1 and that breaks the ADO in other OS versions.

So now I am compiling several other versions for you all to test.
Also, I am going to test on a non sp1 machine once I get EQ installed, then hopefully the tools will work by sometime sunday. Keeps fingers crossed.
When you DL the test exe's please indicate your OS SP# and sucess/fail/works or something similar

Well the logfile.txt in the root directory fixed the run-time error but that is where everything ended. I get an immediate connection error and here is the split second log.

Identified host:localhost
Identified everquest_folder:C:\Program Files (x86)\Everquest - SoD\

I am using Vista Ultimate SP2 fully update as of today.

[GeorgeS]

Ok, after endless work on this, I got it to work on the test machine.
Now using a backwards compatible DLL, it should all work again as it should have in the first place.

Please DL the newest binaries -

Hope this is it after this long crazy ordeal.


--remember to run register_ocx.bat because I am using a new dll

I can't seem to get the Loot Editor to load :(

[blackdragonsdg]

The items editor is working perfectly again. Thanks GeorgeS!

[Psiodon]

items works great now except for the UI. It's all over the place on my screen and nothing is lining up. Any idea how to fix that?
