I wholeheartedly agree, but as to my current understanding, item links are handled client-side only.

Which would require patching the eqgame.exe. Despite being able to push out binary patches to enable that sort of thing within the realm of legality, it would create another potential barrier to connecting to the server for the less tech savvy amongst us.

Yeah, and thus the downside of having to use titanium... *sigh*

I read that in the voice of Morgan Freeman.

I think it would be awesome if you had a write up for how to do this. I am constantly using the shift + up keys to cycle back up in my previous posts and re-submit. The problem is often times I type to many messages and lose that message so I can't repost.

Learning how to make a hotbar button or whatever would be awesome.

Agree. I have the same issue, and I've always wanted to know how to do this!

okay i'll bite:

Get item id #s:
eqitems.13th-floor.org/
(don't open item DB file with notepad it'll shit a brick)

Attached is a file containing the correct characters for the file. I modified them to work for p99 just by deleting the end numbers from the example I downloaded elsewhere. Paste the line into your social and change the %T to the name of your item. The first 6 characters in the numbers are the hexadecimal representation of the item ID#.

so correct formatting for item links would look like.

0050E4 = 20708 decimal = Jar of Honey

(updownarrow)0050E40000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 Jar of Honey(updownarrow)
(the forum is jacking up the formatting on this, make sure it's formatted the same way as the file with the spaces and weird characters)

Questions?

Personally I'd prefer it we had to type out all of the stats on items and open up trade windows with people to show them our bags of wares. That was the best time for trading in EC imo.

In the early stages of this game in /auction a lot of people who where selling had this come up in their auctions instead of the "normal" way it does now.

Not sure why only a few people had it happen to them or what Devs changed to sort of stop it form happening. Which by the way was a pain in the ass to spam a bunch of crap for sale. God, it was ugly.

Pretty much too late for that with allakhazam and the wiki. Some things just can't last forever...
