Offsets in CVS -- they pass basic tests (no crashes on /who)

Jaerin said: So...hmm...dunno what to tell ya

hmm well I dont know much about the cls stuff either, Im just trying to get merchant and spell memming to work, as well as Im looking into the structures they use to open bags and so on, I found all the stuff Mckorr is reading from the xml files, its right there in memory and its laid out kinda like the xml files, it looks like the program is going there everytime it needs to open a bag or maybe its just for keeping track of peoples settings, anyhow the cls offsets are a mystery, I found the updated offsets by looking at an old eqgame.exe and searched for the values... thats how I found them, and I also noticed that the offset was for spawninfo nowdays, but the point is, they are using it in the same place as the old offset was(in the decompiled eqgame that is...)

Hmm sorry to post this but using search i couldnt find the post again, I know theres one about it somewhere. Anyway, I get a solid black screen upon character select when MQ is running! Using latest CVS and nmake in command prompt to make it go. Yet once at character select and selecting the char it goes black and doesnt return!

Any ideas? that or just gimme a hint on which forum that damn link (that this relates to) is at

Thanks

Are the offsets in the CVS tree safe?

Define "safe"

I think the mouse offsets are wrong. I get horrible errors when determining the current mouse position. Can't finish testing the parser without them

Mouse positions are being reported as things like 21495880,0... and that's in the middle of the screen.

Looks like SOE read the boards, saw the upcoming return of all things mousey, and did some shuffling.

Like an idiot I didn't back up my old eqgame.exe, so can't disassemble to check these on my own. Could someone take a look and double (triple) check all the mouse related offsets?

Code: Select all

Mouse=0077A478

Under memory locations.

Ummm, nope, now I get all mouse positions reported as 0 0.

Need both mouse offsets checked, Both DirectInput8 and Memory Locations. Either they are wrong, or SOE has changed code someplace, maybe the MOUSEINFO struct?

Was the mouse offset correct before the 5-14 patch? I'm checking an old stack with the old offset (pre 5-14) and I'm getting nothing on the mouse= offset location

The directx8 offset for mouse that is current now looks right if the 4/30 offset was correct.

Offsets prior to May 14th gave the right mouse locations. I haven't played in a couple days, so don't know if the offset for the 14th was correct. But the 15th isn't working.

Define "safe"

That it has the right memcheckers (the first post says memchecker 1 is not there)

Maybe you could read all the posts in this thread.

Sorry if I'm stepping out of line here or ruining the thread integrity but I feel that I realy must say how impressed I am! Your dedication and hard work realy is inspiring and the way you all band together to overcome these obstacles everytime they try and throw a wrench in your work is more than admirable. I just wanted to say how much I respect and admire you all my peers and to let you know your diligence is appreciated.

Again pardon my gushing, I was just moved and could'nt help myself.

Thanks again guys!

Wrong again, that one causes either a lockup when entering the world, or a crash to desktop.
