so i am looking at the items table adventure_classes field from what i can tell it is some type of bitmap to represent what classes can use the item

i am looking to change the quests.cpp and of course test it but would like to know how to compare that field to the current players class and get either a boolean response

i see where to get the items adventure class (item->generic_info.adventure_classes) but i do not know where to get the players class

so something like this

if item->generic_info.adventure_classes incluses ??the playerclass(lets say the player picking up a quest)
do something here;

still learning how everthing works together in eq2emu

player->GetAdventureClass() will return the id of the class.

If I remember right, has been a long time sense I actually worked with bitmaps, you need to convert the class id into its bitmap equivalent which would be and then you compare that value to the bitmask by doing an and Make sure to have the ( ) around the and operation or else it will cause logic errors.

Again it has been a while sense I worked with this stuff so some of it might be off.

thanks a lot

i did have to modify a little, had to divide the item->generic_info.adventure_classes by 2 in order for the bits to line up correctly

Remember that it needs to be an unsigned int 64 for the id as that is what the adventure_classes should be. You should not modify the adventure_classes directly as that is just to store the bits, changing that value at all means the bits will shift around and no longer line up properly.
