FennyX A Shissar Defiler Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 173	There is a currently a bug in the code preventing me from updating foofyspells. I don't know when I will get time to address it, sorry. The bug is in the code that mangles the filenames into those crazy 3 letter names. The processing required to do that has a geometric-dependency on the number of spells in spdat and for the last year or so, foofyspells has been taking an extremely long time to run. This last patch finally broke it, and I don't know when I will be able to fix it. I can very easily disable the "collapsing" code, as I call it -- because it collapses an entire file path into 3 letters -- is very easily disabled, in fact it is only a configuration setting: Collapse=0. The reason I enable it is that by doing so, all of the filenames are much much shorter, and therefore all the internal cross-referencing links are shorter, which allows foofyspells to make it past the 6MB upload limit imposed by eqinterface. With Collapse=1 I am well over that limit. So for now, I can't update foofyspells. I'll get to it when I am able. Last edited by FennyX : 04-22-2006 at 05:16 AM.

Drumstix42 A Snow Griffin Join Date: Jan 2004 Server: Posts: 50	With the TSS update, I noticed when you click on a spellname from the list, it won't list the class/level within the view, making you unable to go back to that class or level of that class, to easily view others. You always have to go back to the main Foofy page, find the class, and then the level again to view them. This is only with the new 71-75 spells.
