Calling all Programmers/Hackers/Modders... (spells and abilities found)

[Nightfyre]

There appears to be several important problems with the official update. Several spells, such as the Cure and Protect/Shell lines, have "unknown" valid targets, and there are a lot of blue magic spells with "unknown" magic skill instead of "BlueMagic".

The version I posted, however, is correct.

Blah :\ Knew I shoulda checked my BLU spells before getting excited...

Thanks for the working version.

Speaking of which, I did put together a spells.xml from the dat file.

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=21zi81Kb

It's the same exact format as the spells.xml you have in your plugins/resources, only with the correct info. It's not a fix, but a full replacement with all languages. It includes not only the new spells, but also corrects errors (such as hastega being thunder element) and updates to banish cast/recast times, reraise MP costs, etc. that have been patched by SE but never updated in the xml.

Feel free to check over and use, in the meantime until POLUtils gets updated and Aikar can push out the new xml.

Unloaded spellcast, Backed up the original, opened spells.xml in wordpad, deleted all code inside, cut and pasted your code from pastebin into spells.xml and saved. Loaded spellcast in-game and got Resources: Failed to read spells

What did I goof up? Using 2.22, newer version was randomly crashing game, must I use new version?

[Nightfyre]

Quick question, can I just copy and paste all this into resources.xml? Would like to get Recast up to date.

EDIT: answer is no. Still trying to integrate it though, think it's just syntax.

EDIT2: Success.

Note that there is a "dummy" spell in resources.xml. It's in the middle so you'll want to search it out, as it's not in spells.xml. Dunno if it's necessary but I kept it just in case. Other than that, just copy everything over, remove the 'alias=""' at the tail end of each spell, and change 's id' at the beginning of each entry to 'entry id'.

[Septimus]

Awesome, I am tired of seeing the old and busted spell list.

Also, if you guys are updating polutils again, any chance that you can put the Abyssea quest, dialog, and monster tables and maps in the appropriate lists? Also, the other three ad-ons aren't in the mission lists, nor is the Walk of Echos monster table listed. (I have a listing of the most of the file locations if needed, just forgot where the first three Abyssea maps are.) Not trying to be pushy, it would just be a major convenience for people who play with the dats.

I don't know, but when I use it, it works fine. I just renamed the old spells.xml, and put my spells.xml in the plugins/resources folder. No problems. Not sure if something happened while you were pasting it in, or if notepad did something funky, or what. Has anyone else had a problem (or at least, has someone else used my file and had it work fine)?

I think resources.xml is old, it's spells.xml that is used by spellcast, as far as I know. That's what my file was meant to replace.

I know. resources.xml is used by Recast; wanted to get that fixed too so I could stop wondering which Unknown-Spell was the one I wanted to cast >_>;

[Radec]

More of a hassle than copy=pasting, but turn indexes on in recast.ini and then add an entry to resources.xml for that index - remember to put it in spells or abilities as required.

Resources (Only thing that matters is the Index and name for your Region, rest can be blank since spellcast looks it up in spells.xml):

<entry id="0" index="501" prefix="/magic" english="Waterja" german="" french="" japanese="" type="BlackMagic" element="Water" targets="Enemy" skill="ElementalMagic" mpcost="47" casttime="2.75" recast="12.25" />

or

<entry id="0" index="39" prefix="/jobability" english="Mana Wall" german="" french=""  japanese="" type="JobAbility" element="None" targets="Self" skill="Ability" mpcost="0" casttime="0" recast="0" />

Course, with common file found again I imagine there is a resources.xml update coming relatively soon.

It's working just fine for me. Thanks for fixing it all up.

Opened the .xml with Right click>edit instead of right click>open with wordpad. Works now! Ty.

Yes please, seconded. Does the new keeper or whatever of POLutils read BG here? Or otherwise if anyone else would do so that would be great. Those few things would make POLutils completely up to date again. Then all the areas dialogue text and mob lists can be easily selected from the menu instead of manually.

[Yekyaa]

I can modify the ROMMappings.xml to load the Abyssea stuff, but I need a list of all the files so I can track them down (I've already enumerated the latest files so this would be a quick XML patch to have Pebbles add)

Someone please post the list of all files needing to be added to the DataBrowser menu please? Path and Name for each one is handy, whatever you guys find is important to add to it, I can patch the ROMMappings.xml file, but I need it soon.
Pebbles is going to be doing a committ this weekend.

[Kegsay]

ROM/26/119 = Walk of Echoes mob list
ROM/26/69.dat - Aby-La Theine mob list
ROM/25/110.dat - Aby-Tahrongi mob list
ROM/25/80.dat - Aby-Konschtat mob list

-2 folder for dialog tables e.g.

ROM/24/69.dat - Aby-La Theine Dialog Tables
ROM/23/110.dat - Aby-Tahrongi Dialog Tables
ROM/23/80.dat - Aby-Konschtat Dialog Tables

Other stuff:

ROM/27/76.dat = Client System Messages List
ROM/27/68.dat = element / resist! cover! messages
ROM/27/66.dat = magic/combat skill name list (incl. Bind Release Probability at bottom lol)
ROM/27/74.dat = Statuses Lists
ROM/27/72.dat = System Messages List
ROM/27/70.dat = Emote Message List

Zone data (actual zone): -- In case you wanted to eventually chuck in a map viewer

Spoiler: show

CREDIT: EWH Viewer
1=ROM, 2=ROM2 etc... so 1-0-56 = ROM/0/56.dat
After that are the x y z co-ords of where you start when you load the zone.

Interesting stuff in the dialog .DAT for Walk of Echoes...

Spoiler: show

Looks like some mid-BC speech regarding Portia, Ragelise. Also a reference to the Witchfire Glen.
Goblin cutscene NPC appears offering two cutscenes: "When Wills Collide" and "Whispers of Dawn".
Pretty much looks like they have the BC data within the dialog file, just they didn't finish the cutscene work and that's why the final missions were split in half.

Predictions: Another side of the Walk of Echoes will be accessible from Grauberg [S].
There will be a BC possibly involving Portia, Larzos, Ragelise. Unknown if there are any fights that involve Lilith or the final Spitewarden.

Hey speaking of which, did anyone ever figure out a way to read the MMM tablets/runes and zone stuff? I remember before that POLutils couldn't read their format or something.

Anyways thanks a lot for looking into updating the program.

Someone said they found the stuff that looked like Maze Tabula, if you guys want to break down the dat files for that, I could probably add something into the DataBrowser as a patch...

Yes please, seconded. Does the new keeper or whatever of POLutils read BG here? Or otherwise if anyone else would do so that would be great. Those few things would make POLutils completely up to date again. Then all the areas dialogue text and mob lists can be easily selected from the menu instead of manually.

It's been made open source but you'll have to contact swatgod or pebbles to become a contributor. You can find the code quite easily if you google "polutils google code", I'd post the URL but I need 10 posts first!

Ok, I've posted a list to the issues for POLUtils for pebbles to take a look at, but I haven't seen a commit done yet. The list for the updated dats is there as part of the issues, but I couldn't do a patch for it b/c of the way he has his DAT list for his menu done. It's foreign to me, but I could figure it out if I had more patience. Anyway, should be a new update to POLUtils done sometime soon I'd assume.

For the POLUtils update, will I be able to do a //updateresources once the official version is out? or will I have to do it manually.

Thank you.

POLUtils is the update for the DAT viewing program. Aikar would still need to export the xml and convert it over if there's any major changes he needs to account for with the official release from Pebbles. After that's done and he has the official update, it should be automatic upon loading Windower.
POLUtils hasn't been committed yet, Pebbles is still working on it.
