Maintaining POLUtils

[Cairthenn]

As nobody is currently maintaining POLUtils, and nobody else has stepped up, I'll do what I can to keep it functional until someone more competent decides they want it working again. I can't update the Google repository, but Aureus has created a repository on the Windower GitHub to host the source and installers.

• Download the installers.
• Browse the repository

While I have a basic understanding of how to fix and adjust this, it's nowhere near comprehensive, so if something major changes, it's possible that I won't be able to fix this.

If you want me to add something to the file menu, that is fairly simple to do provided you have the file path already. If it's similar to other things that are already there, chances are I won't need this because of how FTABLE and VTABLE work, but it'll help regardless. Maps, mob lists etc. are generally sequential. Post the path/what it's for here and I'll add it. If you want something else changed, say so and I'll see if I have the ability to do that. No guarantees.

Wasn't there someone maintaining it a while back? Darec or something? That was the only reason I didn't take it up back then. (Well that and I took a good few months break from the game.)

I haven't looked at the code in a while now, but if something comes up just shoot me a pm and I'll lend a hand.

[Byrthnoth]

Radec was, yeah. He plays FFXIV now and doesn't have enough time/effort for two MMOs.

i've always wondered who maintains this..

it is my belief that Adoulin town now has a second dialog table.. i just haven't pinpointed it yet.

[Cairthenn]

Uploaded with those changes.

[Cairthenn]

I fixed Monipulator (mostly..the common item fields are all completely off) as well as instincts.

[Spira]

can someone confirm this..
i think they changed the format for all the zone mob lists? cos I can't view any of them anymore from POLutils

[jimbobsonofgod]

I can confirm that I cant see them either

[Arcon]

Yes, but POLUtils has already been updated for that: 32bit, 64bit

[Spira]

awesome thx.

to add...

mob list
ROM9/6/63 - Outer Ra'Kaznar
ROM9/6/64 - Outer Ra'Kaznar U

dialog

ROM9/5/119 - Outer Ra'Kaznar

[atom0s]

The mob dats have extended the name length to 28 bytes. So POLUtils needs to read the extra new bytes.

[Arcon]

It has already been adjusted for the new mob DAT format and it now incorporates the new mob lists as well. Btw, the source is available on GitHub, so if anyone sees anything that needs changed feel free to submit a pull request.

[Terravcota]

The NPC Renamer portion seems to not be reading anything. Most of the zones are blank. The ones that aren't have blank spots, partial mob names, or things like "(filled in dot)? Sand Pugil" as mob names. Am I missing something? If I use the Data Browser, the zone I'm looking at displays fine.
