Item Type: 9 (Bauble) vs Sets issues

[John Adams]

Okay, I have a complex issue I need help sorting out. I'm sure it will be a simple answer though

Substruct_ItemFooter ends like this for CoE -

<Data ElementName="locked_flag" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="account_retricted" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="footer_unknown6" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="name" Type="EQ2_8Bit_String" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="description" Type="EQ2_16Bit_String" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="footer_unknown7" Type="int8" Size="1" />

There is a specific type of Bauble that throws an additional int32 in the footer ending, IF the bauble is a part of a set (Fear and Loathing) -

<Data ElementName="locked_flag" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="account_retricted" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="footer_unknown6" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="footer_unknownJA" Type="int32" />
<Data ElementName="name" Type="EQ2_8Bit_String" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="description" Type="EQ2_16Bit_String" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="footer_unknown7" Type="int8" Size="1" />

However, this breaks all other item processing because now there is an int32 there, which chops up the item name element. So, I solved that by doing this:

<Data ElementName="footer_unknownJA" Type="int32" IfVariableSet="footer_set_name_0" />

That now works great for the baubles in a Set, and the other items that are not... except, now I've run into a new problem. Now, I have a regular item (type 3 - Armor) which is in a set (thus footer_set_name is set) and this int32 is now breaking the item Name up.

Above, the set_name is set, and the item 'name' is truncated by the int32. Without this variable int32, Baubles in a set will not parse.

Question: How can I build a struct that covers both bases? I am trying to work with LE's new "Criteria" tag, like Criteria="header_item_type==9" (baubles), but so far no luck. Not sure if I can IfVariableSet AND Criteria in the same data element.


Thanks for your thoughts.

[John Adams]

I am trying to work with LE's new "Criteria" tag, like Criteria="header_item_type==9" (baubles), but so far no luck. Not sure if I can IfVariableSet AND Criteria in the same data element.

I think I am labeling this criteria wrong. In the Footer, how do I reference something in the header?

I see the num_effects does it, like "header_info_header_unknown_0_0" for the first hex in that array. So I have tried

header_item_type==9
header_item_type_0==9
header_item_type_0_0==9

And I am still getting that int32 showing up even in non-item_type 9 items.

[Zcoretri]

That would be a good question for LE to answer, as I don't know if you can combine those together.

Know you now what I was going through to get items to parse in the first place

[John Adams]

Ok then, pretending for a moment that "Criteria" is not really an option (since parser and world do not yet support it anyway), how would you handle that extra int32 with current PacketStructs functionality?

I'm going to give this another run this morning. Maybe there is another element in the item packet I can use to differentiate between bauble set and item set (besides just item_type)

[Zcoretri]

Try this...

Code: Select all

<Data ElementName="footer_unknownJA" Type="int32" IfVariableSet="footer_set_name_0, cast_0" />

or any other element that is always set for a bauble

Code: Select all

<Data ElementName="recovery" Type="int16" Size="1" OversizedValue="127" OversizedByte="127" />
<Data ElementName="duration" Type="int32" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="recast" Type="float" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="display_slot_optional" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="display_cast_time" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="display_bauble_type" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="effect_radius" Type="float" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="max_aoe_targets" Type="int32" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="display_until_cancelled" Type="int8" Size="1" />
<Data ElementName="item_score" Type="int32" Size="1" />

[John Adams]

oh ffs... duh me... haha. See? I was too close to the issue to think of the obvious thanks, Z.

Scratch that, because stacking those is an OR, it won't work. Need an AND, both of those need to be set for this to apply the int32. Back to seeing how to use the new Criteria option.

[Zcoretri]

Changes to footer struct...

Code: Select all

<Data ElementName="unknown_set_info2" Type="int8" Size="1" IfVariableSet="footer_set_name_0" />
<Data ElementName="unknown_set_info3" Type="int8" Size="1" IfVariableSet="footer_set_name_0" />
<Data ElementName="unknown_set_info3a" Type="int32" Size="1" IfVariableSet="footer_unknown_set_info3_0" />
<Data ElementName="unknown_set_info4" Type="int8" Size="1" IfVariableSet="footer_set_name_0" />
