How about on titles?

[Arex]

it is nice to see any advancement, perhaps we need to do any opcodes research??

client_packet.cpp

void Client::Handle_OP_SetTitle(const EQApplicationPacket *app) {
//	m_pp.title[0] = '\0';
	//TODO: send some sort of update struct to everybody.
}

void Client::Handle_OP_RequestTitles(const EQApplicationPacket *app) {
	//zero length request
	//TODO: get the titles from somewhere, and ship em off
	
}

and

titles.cpp

TitleManager::TitleManager() {
}

I don't think the server's side is done. I'm more of a code tweaker, I don't have a clue where to start with something like this. Also when you open your titles window you get

[Debug] Unable to convert EQ opcode 0x5eba to an Application opcode.
[Debug] [CLIENT__NET_ERR] Death: Unhandled incoming opcode: [OpCode OP_Unknown (
0x5eba) Size=0]

To clarify: that's the current code that's in place - I didn't write any of it.

According to the comments in the code, you're supposed to use this table for the merit based titles.

create table titles (
	id int UNSIGNED primary key AUTO_INCREMENT,
	skill_id tinyint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	skill_value mediumint UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	aa_points TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
	title varchar(32) NOT NULL
);

Thank you for the information TheLieka, then it is supposed that dev's already begun to do it any time ago, but they saw that this task was too hard and leave it for impossible

I wouldn't say that. It's more likely that someone was working on it, then dropped off the project before completing it. I've got a lot of confidence in the eqemulator developers as well as the community, so I wouldn't deem anything as impossible. It looks like the title #command and PERL commands do modify the character profile in the database (based on AndMetal's previous posts), but we might be missing opcodes for sending the title to the client?

Yes what most likely happened was the project was never completed, or was at one point and has since been broken over time. It happens a lot, especially with older, forgotten code.

[TheLieka]

I believe the code that I posted was designed to keep track of autoassigning titles based on AAs and/or Skills, and though the manager for that is incomplete, we could still get titles via quest and #commands if we can address why the client isn't updating (unless, of course, it's an unattainable opcode).

I haven't had any experience with digging out unknown OpCodes, is this genetic knowledge, or something that can be taught? Is there a way to gather them without having packet logs from EQLive?

Well, that would indicate the opcode for the title window or whatever it is you did that caused that debug message is 0x5eba.

For the rest that don't write to the log and are 0, the easiest way is to get it from an old Live capture. If none are available, there is another way but I am not sure of the legality so I'll leave it at that.
