Maze Runes? #8

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Are Maze Runes such as this:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Maze_Rune_002

in the item DATs?  I checked with the latest version of FFXI and POLUtils, 
didn't find them.  I assume the answer is no or SE stuck them in a separate dat 
file.

They were in there at some point.  I have them in archived item data for 
FFXIAH.com.  I'm thinking they moved them around.

It's been a long time, but I _think_ POLUtils would detect and load item-type 
DATs when you select them in the DAT browser.
Starting point would be to look at DAT IDs next to the existing range (note: 
DAT ID, not necessarily dat file name).
Looking in ROMFileMappings.xml I see that the English item DATs are IDs 73-77 
(77 being the puppet items, previously the last added set; there's also ID 91, 
which just contains a single "item", i.e. money). So I suggest looking for the 
DAT file that is assigned to ID 78 as the most likely candidate for a new item 
data file.
Problem is that I think the current POLUtils no longer had the little dialog 
that shows all the ID->file mappings.
But you can find out via FFXI.GetFilePath(78) in code, or by adding a line for 
that ID to ROMFileMappings.xml (and maybe check 79 and 80 too). This is 
something I can't do anymore (the mapping comes from the FTABLE/VTABLE files, 
which requires a proper up-to-date FFXI install).

Hey Tim, Thanks for the response.  I went ahead tried the 78-91 and even some 
before 73.  None of them were string tables for items. Is there a way to hack 
POLUtils to scan each DAT for hints of item string tables?

I commented out the all the known Filetypes except Itemdata and then did a 
full-scan with mass-extractor.  I didn't find any new Item files :(  Oh well, 
this isn't a major issue.

It appears that this issue has the patch I'm looking for.

I forgot Doomer sent me a separate file for those items awhile back.
