The spell file (on the server side) is only used to load the information into the server. So, like items, if the format changes we'll adjust the loading in of the information. Information for the spells will probably not change very much.

As far as effects and such, that's all done on the client anyways, so you're client will do whatever it wants to do with the right information.

Fixed my problem

Still have the same bug as before though... moving to support

[aza77]

just copy all .conf files of the utils directory to your server dir that should fix it

I'm curious...does dynamic patch support extend to handling different types of packets, or just opcodes? I bring it up because I have code that allows dynamic packet handling that I use in the admin tool to decouple program logic from packet structures (though, of course, using it involves a performance hit).

Wind,

the 1000 foot picture of the dynamic struct stuff is that every packet is given an internal representation that the application logic uses. That packet is then sent to a structure strategy for the correct patch which is responsible for turning the internal representation into the correct EQ representation for that patch. Which basically boils down to an extra slightly-less-cache-friendly memcpy per packet. This is further helped by the fact that almost all packets currently work for both clients, so no translation at all is done on them, this advantage will slowly go away as clients drift further apart.
