I understand that EQ no longer sends the total experience number to the client. It just sends level and some percentage. But I thought from the ShowEQ folks that the actual exp number was sent on zoning. Does that number make it into the client?

The charinfo structure only holds a percent. If the actual xp number is kept somewhere, we don't know where it is.

/puts on list to look up

its not a priority right now, but I can look for it if noone else wants too, I have been looking into the possiblilities of checking some of the data that comes in packages to the client, and maybe write a function to get some of that directly before it hits a location in memory, lets see how that thing goes... I might have to do that anyway, for the lag'o meter function im working on...
