How are item links constructed?

Post by tbigg » Sun Jan 04, 2004 1:36 am

I'd like to be able to construct an item link for any item in the game. Looking at a few item links, such as:

- 0013593-00001-00001-00001-00001-00001FD5488DDTorn Training Robe* -

You can see that the item ID is in the first field and the name is at the end. But it looks like there is a hash code right before the name.

Anyone know how to generate that last field? It looks like a 36-bit code, which means it is not any of the common checksum algorithms like MD5 or CRC32.

Thanks.
