Update
Hello world! I have returned from the dead for about the 100th time. Lets just say its been rough, between car accident, fighting with parents to college. I have been quite broken. Anywho, surprises surprises coming later today. Johns EQ2 Server Pack has been an amazing tool to make something portable, that turns out, wasn't portable before.

So, after I announced this a long while ago, I've actually started working on it !

I have no screenshots yet since I'm re-writing parts and changing the UI I built so here is a description:

- Will allow you to edit your EQ2Emu database in a safe manner without causing you to crash and burn
- Displays a in-editor web page of EQ2emulator.net so you may view the forums and search for answers to any questions you have, such as "Where do I change this so I can do this?"
- Built-in IRC so you can get help >right away< if ever needed. Basically another way of getting answers if your database somehow is crashing and burning
- No need for a webserver as this is not another PHP Editor, this is a .exe you can run from anywhere at any given time. Seriously.
- Written in C# using Windows Presentation Foundation (The cool thing that runs Windows Vista / 7)
- Program is open source, but there will always be official builds and updates located on the SVN

I was also thinking of building, to go with this, a complete Admin program that would allow you to manage your server as well.

- Alright all you smart C# guys! I need some help.



This is my layout idea, tab based menu system. Now I want the tabs to have a drop down system below that shows/hides what I want to be displayed. Example: When I click on characters I want a list below that to appear that gives sub options. Does anyone know a way of doing this? I'm researching and can't find much. I will keep playing with the code though in the mean time!

I had some luck getting the entity framework working with WPF last week, was not super easy but I wanted to use something more advanced than the datareader. I may would go back to the datareader, I am just not sure yet. I would think you would want to go either EF or LINQ to MySQL and do two way binding on the textbox, drop downs, etc.

I sent you a PM, you said SVN but I have no access to any SVN other than the public SVN.

eq2content and eq2tools are public SVN's, and if you are a dev team member, you can write to them. Otherwise, Anonymous works fine to read.

I would not put tool-related source code on the dev SVN, because tools have their own repository.

Anyone designing Tools to work with EQ2Emulator is welcome to use our eq2tools SVN for source control, if they wish.

I tried to commit to the tools svsn, except it refused the connection. I'm not sure why. I used Zamari / my pass. Anywho, I have it on Google SVN at the moment uder eq2emu-editor.

The error:

The same for me.

[John Adams]

Well, neither of you told me you wanted to commit tools to eq2tools lol... I have to add you to Commit access

[John Adams]

Reef - I am using your Dejavuu login, so use that one. You should have already had Commit access to this SVN as being part of the C++ dev group.

Zamari -- created. Should also have Commit access. Make a folder (if you want) to put your stuff under, or continue using Googlecode. Either is fine, since both are publicly accessible. Keep up the good work!

[Gilraak]

I'm loading it into our SVN right now and will keep google as a mirror.

Well, I was. But it is still not allowing me commit access.

Come to think of it... I can't even access the DB 2.0 with my login, 1.0 works perfect of course.

Hmm, I might have jacked up permissions a while ago. Much of the "JohnAdams" code is hidden, because my work is utter slop and I want to clean it up before anyone sees it and dies laughing

Update:

- I need help D: I realize I can't do this solo!

[Scatman]

Hop in IRC and let us know what you need help with!

[Flunklesnarkin]

I think this thread would be the most appropriate place to bring this up


I noticed on the SVN that there are a lot of weird "revisions"

This is the same link as the public mirror you have in the SVN link at the top of the forums

http://code.google.com/p/eq2emu-server/source/list


I notice a lot of edits dated Dec 31, 1969 and when I click on them they have no text and no associated files.

It just seemed kind of odd that there would be a lot of those o_O

[John Adams]

Nothing odd about it at all. Bad dates means a commit to non Open Source files (our loginserver, collector, etc). Those are not copied to the public SVNs but the revs still have to increment to keep everything in sync.
