Everquest .wld files #1

Hi there Martin,

I just ran across eqformat_map and eqformat_pfs on crates.io. I've been working on a wld file loader for a bit now and figured I would release it there also. It's pretty basic at the moment but I thought there might be some chance you would find it useful!

That is pretty wild! I have some beginnings of a wld loader but it's no where near usable. I'll have a look at yours instead and probably scrap my effort. Thanks for letting me know!

Would you consider licensing your crate under another license such as MIT or BSD instead of GPL-3 ? If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to make use of it.

Yep! No problem. I've been very slowly working on the pieces necessary to build a client in Rust. I know, a huge undertaking, but it's my only excuse for writing Rust right now :P. I also have an s3d extractor. It's not as far along as yours. It just ignores crc checks for example. But I went ahead and put it up on GitHub: https://github.com/cjab/eq_archive . Just curious what are you working on?

I too am interested in building a client in rust, but never imagine to be able to do it all by myself so I figured I'd work on some separate components and hopefully stuff can be stitched together along the way. I am currently working on a EQUI (xml ui files) renderer. And I'm in contact with a guy who's done a bunch of eq client networking code in rust

Nice! My plan is to continue work on rendering wld files. Although, probably a bit less now that the holidays are over :cry: . We should keep in touch though and try to combine our efforts 😃. Yeah the network client definitely seems daunting, that's a good contact to have 😃.
