MySEQ 2.0.4 is now available at http://www.dvolve.net/EQ/MySEQ

If are upgrading for the first time to the 2.x series you MUST download the SupportFiles.zip and place the 3 DLLs in the directory with the executable.

MySEQ 2.0.3 is now available at http://www.dvolve.net/EQ/MySEQ

If are upgrading for the first time to the 2.x series you MUST download the SupportFiles.zip and place the 3 DLLs in the directory with the executable.

Features Added:

• Spell Buff Timers - The current version shows the Lvl, Duration, Dmg Shld and Absorb. In the future I will show more information like the Spell Names etc. I will also have a Spell List that shows all the Spell data.
• ColorChart - Added the new ColorChart system that should add over 700+ colors that the maps now can be drawn in.

Features Fixed:

A lot of enternal code movement to help clean up the code which will help in the future for other dev's to help out as well as troubleshoot the issues.
• A few other things as well. I'm still removing old code and optimizing where possible.

Features Need Testing:

• Alerts - I have added Logging data and made an adjustment so I need folks to go to OT and test the filters to make sure more than 3 or 4 mobs are selected.
• Level 65 Con Colors - Very the Con Colors in the SpawnList, SpawnInfo Window and the Map. Verify all the colors are correct.

If you are having any issues with the 2.x Client/Server please turn on logging for both Client and Server then post your issue. Be warned that you may want to delete the MQ login name, MQ password and IP Address so it will protect you from unauthorized connections. If you don't feel comfortable posting the log files then you can email me directly or chat with me via Yahoo/ICQ. You can ask folks within the community about my integrity about protecting your data. I will never ask you to give any EQ type data and before ever asking to do anything on a system I will explain what we are doing. I will try walking you through any issues via Chat/Post and if you want me to remotely connect to help out I will work directly with you via Chat. Never give your information out if you don't know or trust the person that's the bottom line.

• Updated version to 4.3.19
• Updated to work with 12/19/03 EQLive

• Updated version to 5.0.0.2
  
• Updated the default ArqSeqGiveUp to 512 since with the current encryption scheme a single missed packet can have greater ramifications then under the previous one.
  
• Removed some extraneous command line options.
  
• Removed some more cruft from ShowEQParams.
  
• Minor tweak to map spawn color selection to deal with properly with traps, event-triggers, and timers.

• Created a perl script filter2xml.pl which can be used to convert existing filter conf files to the new XML format.
• Fixed the duplicate accelerator bug. Shift+F3 is now "Reload Zone Filters", and Shift+F4 is now "Save Zone Filters". Also fixed a bug that was causing the zone specific filters not to be used.
• Moved filter notification handling out of EQInterface and into its own class.
• "Use Spawn Audio" has been split into "Use System Beep" and "Use Command" in the process to create more flexibility.
• Assorted changes/fixes to experience handling in the Player object. No more bizarre out of range values.

Hello Everyone,

Once again, I'm going put fingers to keyboard in a somewhat entertaining manner. Or at least, what I hope to be entertaining.

My previous history of SEQ post was written in one sitting in about an hour from by admittedly faulty memory.

I would like to put together a detailed history of EQ as pertains to the rise of SEQ. There are some murky details that may suprise some of you in regards to the origin of SEQ proper... but I would like to hear the history as some of you know (or think you know) it... especially if you were "there" at the beginning.

More importantly, I think, I would like ancedotes, stories and experiences of the users (and of course developers). They can be funny, interesting, sad; it doesn't matter. I can't guarentee any or all of them will be included in the final product, but don't make up or embelish things. If you can provide links to old posts or logs, so much the better.

I plan on this being a lengthy piece for people who are interested, but mostly to satisfy my own sense of history and for a reference document that can be found easily and readily by anyone who might want it.

I'm not sure if it will be fanciful like my previous history or just the facts... probably a mixture of both. I welcome any comments one way or the other.

Please post whatever you got, or want to talk about, or think would be interesting in relation to this here. I will be referring back this thread often

• Fixed an odd bug preventing the new offsets from loading properly
• Specifying the port # on the command line finally works again.

• Mostly internal and bugfixes
• NOTE: The dropdown box above the listbox is not working yet.

• Changed the way data is decoded from memory to make it easier to recover from eqgame patches.
• Offsets are no longer stored in the offsets.txt file, it may now be deleted.
• Offsets are now stored in the myseqserverc.ini file and MUST be in base 10 format, not hex.

Welcome to the new Project SEQ website.

SEQ isn't just for EQ anymore. Well... sort of.

With the advent of all the new MMOLG's out now and scheduled to come out, there is a need for a central site dedicated to the more technical aspects of those individual games.

ShowEQ was the first widely popular program of a new breed of packet analyzers dedicated soley to analyzing and displaying data about a specific applicaton, as opposed to a more generalized packet analyzer. As such, this project still retains the SEQ moniker, but we are dedicated to Online Games in general, and not just EverQuest.

ShowEQ played a vital and important role in the history of EverQuest, being the catalyst for innumerable bug fixes and misinformation given to the players of EverQuest. In effect, SEQ kept the Verant developers honest at worst, and identified bugs and poor quality control at best. Without SEQ, EverQuest would be a far less playable game than it is today.

SEQ opened the door for programs like Excalibur ans SINS, and we hope that it can pave the way for many more; In effect providing free third party verification and auditing of the online games you pay for. We are not in the employ nor are we paid by any of the companies operating the games represented at this site. We are not beholden to them in any fashion, and we will provide the truth about what's really happening behind the scenes. That is our one and only goal.

If you are a developer or the creator of a packet analyzer for any online game and you would like a set of message forums for your program, please contact Ratt to setup your forums.

I'm sorry for putting this here at this moment ... I know some of you probably ... well... nevermind. But I needed for everyone to see this...

I will be revamping the website at some point in the next few days (possibly tonight) - I don't anticipate much downtime, but it's possible that the site will be unavailable for several hours. I don't want anyone to think we've packed up shop or closed the doors, hence why I am posting here.

The new website will be in preparation for a possible project expansion and will allow better communication between everyone interested in the project.

So be on the lookout for the new site, coming soon to a URL near you.

• resolved Qt 3.x performance issues
• rework some zoning logic to allow for future cleanups
• clean up some structs in everquest.h
• temp fix for wineX users
• ShowEQ will now require Qt 3.0.5+ from this release forward. Qt 2.3.2 should still work as of this release but may cease to work at a future time.

• ability to set a file to load the key from, see the seqdef.xml for the default name
• load from the named key file
• updates in EQInterface and EQDecode classes to accomodate key entry
• everquest.h - various struct updates

What you can and can't do! If you have the new LibEQ you will be able to enter your session key manually into showeq. You may do this via a dialog or a file, see the Decoder Menu. Please note that key entry is expected to be in Little Endian byte order (most significant bit is on the right).

The Dialog expects entry in the form of 0xFFAAFFAA00110011 (yes the 0x is required)

The Key File option expects to load 8 bytes of binary data. (also little endian)

A new libEQ.a will be released shortly, please check the usual places.

Alot if you are going to be asking where and how do you get a key. The Showeq project will not be providing any offical methods for gaining this information. Some users have already posted a primer on how to do this and I am sure lots and lots of options will become available from the community.

Before reporting failures with this code, please have a look at NetDiags and try adjusting your seqArqGiveUP setting to 256+.

• fixed a potential segmentation fault within spawnshell

This fix will certainly resolve some of the segfaults currently plaguing showeq. I can't guarantee that it will solve them all but its a step in that direction. Please feel free to post any new stack traces resulting from this code change. Feedback is always appreciated.

• Made the Map tooltips behave better: No longer always on top, parented by map, tries to make sure entire tip is visible (borrowed logic from QPopupMenu:opup(), and will dissappear if clicked on.
• Changed the DTEAM_ teams to use the same numeric scale as the RTEAM_ teams. This will allow some code simplification in map.cpp.
• Updated to new libEQ.a (23249b5a6a04f2b900449d9c4aa0994a). Includes possible decoding of new spawns without zoning.
• Have configure default to validating the Qt install (disable with the --without-qt-validation option).
• Made configure properly handle build directories properly again.
• Added a configure option (--enable-old-compiler) to allow the use of certain older gcc compilers (the 2.96.x compilers that come with certain linux distributions).

• Added ./doc/map.html which describes the map file format
• Made the search and checks for libEQ.a more robust and report more information
• Added code to SpawnList2 to protect against situations where there aren't any categories. Also made SpawnList2 save/restore the currently selected category.

• Modified the code to dump bank items to use the Qt classes.
• Added a "Refilter Spawns" menu pick to the "Filters" menu.
• Simplified some filtering logic in SpawnShell. This fixed where filters with level's specified weren't being checked properly in some cases.
• Added the ability to select the base con colors from the "Con Colors" sub-menu of the "Options" menu.

• Applied patch #563579 "pvp teams update" by g0hst (g0hst)
• Added m_itemdb.cpp to BUILT_SOURCES in Makefile.am (this should make sure it gets cleaned up when doing a make clean.
• Changed "CreateUnknownSpawns" option to default to true since too many couldn't figure out that this was required BEFORE "Show Unknown Spawns" would work (Can't show what isn't created).
• Corrected help displays option list --restore-zone-state should have been --restore-zone.
• Fixed saving of spawns. Also made sure zone position was saved with the rest of the spawn info. Also added a check that will attempt to verify that restored spawns are for the expected zone.
• Added some more checks for the state/version of save/restore files to SpawnShell, Player, and ZoneMgr.
• Make sure player information gets reset upon zone entry if the player name is different.
• Updates spells.h again (with latest data).

• Many new item related opcodes (as of the 05/06/02 patch)
• Updated to v2 EQItemDB entries (supports both versions) with data from the new itemStruct.
• Changed how the ItemDB is instantiated and how items are added, including more checks to minimize the chance of corrupt data being stored in the DB.
• Increased maximum number of monitored opcodes from 10 to 15.
• Minor additions to weapons27.h
• Removed spelltimes.h and created a new spells.h with all the info (from the 05/06/02 patches spdat.eff). Modified spell_name() and spell_info() to use the new data.

• Map Update: added succor point locations from LordCrush

• Applied patch # 561114 "3 new maps" by mrsuspicious (mrsuspicious)
• Added a KDevelop 2.0 project (showeq.kdevprj) for those who wish to use that IDE.
• Added Deity and Body type fields to the Spawn List.
• Cleaned up some class names EQPlayer => Player, EQStatList => StatList, EQSkillList => SkillList.
• Renamed class CSpawnList to SpawnList. Split SpawnList related classes into current SpawnList specific classes and those that could be reused in the new lighter weight SpawnList.
• Created Spawn List 2, a lighter weight less memory/CPU intensive Spawn List. Defaults set to minimize CPU usage. Made it the spawn list used by default.
• Assorted cleanups in SpawnList.
• Changed SpawnShell from using an stl::map to a Qt QIntDict for maintaining the Spawn/Coin/Drop/Door information. This is mostly being done as a punt to fix the current primary crashing problem. We'll see if this works or the standing problem will continue to mock us...
• Modified SpawnShell::findID() method to return the Player object if the user requested type == tSpawn and the id happens to be the player id. Also, modified SpawnShell:findSpawnByRawName() to check and return the Player object if no other match was found and the player matches.
• Modified spawnshell to make the player appear more as a normal spawn. It now appears in the spawn list again and a tooltip will now appear for the player on the map again.
• Cleaned up the spawn monitor ipmlementation a little, SpawnPoint now inherits from EQPoint instead of Item (reduces memory footprint and unneeded functionality).
• Modified Spawn Point interaction with the map. The currently selected spawn point will now be surrounded by a flashing blue square. The spawn points now have tooltips and are selectable. They also follow the spawn depth filtering settings.
• Added the ability to delete individual spawn points through the right-click context menu of the Spawn Point List.
• Fixed the "smoothness" issue with the map following the player.
• Fixed renaming of Spawn Points. Also fixed the displayed Z coordinate of Spawn Points.
• Fixed map tooltip so that it now pays attention to spawn depth if spawn depth filtering is enabled.
• Normalized naming of x, y, and z coordinate members, methods, and variables.
• Further cleanup of the Spawn and Player classes.
• Improved performance of SpawnList under Qt 3.x.

• Use of Qt 3.x is currently unsupported. But if you choose to use Qt 3.0.[1-4] you should apply the following patch to it and rebuild it: http://www.doomed.to/showeq/qt/qt-x...4_qsignal.patch . Theoretically this patch should not be necessary with Qt 3.0.5 when it is released.

• Fixed EQTime display (AM/PM thing)

• Applied patch# 555002 "New README.libEQ" by mrsuspicious (mrsuspicious)
• Applied patch# 555000 "New INSTALL.newbies (complete overhaul)" by mrsuspicious(mrsuspicious)
• Added SEQWindow base class and made all top-level/dockable windows inherit from it. SEQWindow supports the setting/saving/restoring of caption, font, size, and position information.
• Added SEQListView base class and made all the listview's inherit from it or use it SEQListView supports the setting/saving/restoring of listview column visibility/size/order and sort column/direction.
• Fixed crashing bug when right-clicking in the header of the Spawn List to get a context menu.
• Fixed a bug where changes to the "FastMachine" setting were being made in "Interface" instead of "Misc".
• Fixed an old crash in Filter::loadFilters() if /usr/local/share/showeq didn't exist.
• Fixed "Filtered" filtering so that filtered spawns no longer appear on the map unless "Show Filtered" is enabled.
• Fixed handling of filtered spawns and categories in CategoryMgr and SpawnList. Allow ":Filtered:" pattern to occur in more complex filter strings
• Removed HP and MaxHP from the filterString that filters and categories are matched against, since they are no longer useful.
• Made it so that the following Spawn List columns sort in a proper numeric fashion: Lvl, Hp, MaxHp, ID, and Dist. Also made it so that the category spawn list items always sort by their names (since they don't have any other fields).
• Made it so that the color of the items in the spawn list will be updated as appropriate when the players level changes.

• Improved behavior when no showeq.xml file is present
• Removed showeq.xml from CVS (initial one created on first "Save Preferences" or manually by the user), so it will no longer overwrite the users showeq.xml
• Added ability to delete a button from a message dialog
• Added menu pick to the "Network" menu to set the "Device" monitoring packets
• Fixed Spawn, Despawn, and Death alert audio
• Fixed a few places where menu items weren't getting checked in certain scenarios.
• Added right-click context menu to Spawn List that allows the user to add/edit/delete/reload categories, add filters, toggle spawn list columns, and rebuild the spawn list

• Changed how fonts are set and configured. Ended the Helvetica tyranny (where no matter what font you set over half the GUI would still use Helvetica and not at the size you specified).
• Added menu option to allow setting of the application font from the "Interface" menu.
• Added "Status Bar" sub-menu to the "Interface" menu, included options to show/hide status bar windows.
• Added additional options to the "Options" menu to control the use of EQ retarded coordinates, use of unix system time for spawn times"
• Added additional options to the "Interface" menu to control the display of messages to Stdout, and whether bank info is displayed, to set the location of the formatted messages file
• Added "Font" sub-menu to the "Options" menu to control the application default font, main window status bar font, and the fonts used by numerous other windows (not all windows added yet).
• Made the show/hide of the channel messages dialogs persistant
• Changed MAXSPAWNDATA size from 49152 to 98304 since I was seeing the EQPacket::m_serverData buffer whose size is determined by it overflowing, which in turn caused crashes. Added \a's (bell's) around the warning message so that it is more noticable.

• version 4.1.0
• Packet Structure Changes
• spawnStruct
• charProfileStruct
• playerAAStruct
• makeDropStruct
• changeZoneStruct
• *ZoneEntryStruct
• newZoneStruct
• various updates to convert zoneId to shortName
• if you use libEQ, today might be a good day to get a fresh copy

• made spawnlist, stats and skill windows dynamic again. If you choose not to have these windows visible they will no longer be taking up memory. This is a regression of an earlier change.
• inspectStruct is now correct
• moved some things around in dispatchZoneData, should save a few cpu cycles
• added some code for a future modification to spawnlist.cpp. The options available under the View menu for the spawnlist, skill and stat lists will eventually be available on a popup by right clicking inside the desired widget. Mouse events may also change for these widgets. Right- clicking on a spawnlist category and single-left clicking will remain the same. Double-Left-Click will now dump the selected spawn's info to the console. Single-right-clicking will bring up the popup(coming soon).

• Tweaked showeq.conf.dist to remove an outdated statement
• Tweaked the help to correct some entries
• identified animation field in spawnStruct
• EQ 19/03/02 Patch fix for "racing"/"raining" PC problem (notification to client that server is not sending any more position updates)".

• Map optimizations. Switched from using {QPixmap, QWidget}::drawPixmap() to bitBlt() for copying pixmap data around and to screen. Also, cache the item->filterFlags() value on the stack for slightly faster access. The bitBlt optimization MAY help those seeing lockups.
• Changed default spawn save frequency, and updated showeq.conf.dist to reflect the new default (saves spawns every 60 seconds).
• Optimized how spawn information was saved and added a magic number to the beginning of it's file.
• Added FOV Mode selection to the map, with three options: Distance Based (default), Scaled Classic, and Classic. This controls the style of player background/field of view display.
• "Distance Based" where its size is based on an actual distance along a horizontal plane from the player.
• "Scaled Classic" where its size is based on the classic formula a simple scale applied to compensate for zoom.
• "Classic" where the size uses the old, meaningless, non-scaled classic formula.

CVS Commit with a bunch of patches and other modifications.
