ID System

All ids are 64bit values, first 4 bytes determine category, last 4 is the objects id

categories:

0x00000000 - // static objects, currently used(buildings,cells,terminals,chairs,bazzar,..) 0x00000000000C3500 // Additional Planets Static Buildings START 0x00000001 // travel terminals and for future expansion (LAST ID USED --> 4294967567)

  groups:

  0x000000010xxxxxxx  // terminals

0xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX // draft schematics, first for byte of the id are the crc of the schematicobject, so they shouldnt be smaller than 0x0xxxxxxx , last 4 byte represent the linked resourceweights batch

object ids:

on static objects:

category 0x00000000

- starts with 2 - inrement by 1, e.g. by 1 + cellcount for structures

Most are already ripped from the snapshots, you can find em in the static_objects tables. So there are big holes, probably need to fill up that stuff with ids for chairs and other stuff from the ilf files. Unfortunately those arent id'd and so can only be identified by their position.

category 0x00000001

- start with 1 - inrement by 1, e.g. by 1 + cellcount for structures

To sum it up.

Use linear id'ing for: static_objects,characters,vendors,trainers,mounts,ships,static npc,guilds,mails, draft schematics,resources,skills,player structures,chatrooms

use random number id'ing for missions,auctions,lairs,dynamic npc,items,

On Character/NPC id'ing, from what i understand right now, plz correct me.

1. the character id would be the creature object id, so the main objects id, which we send with createobject(). 2. with a containment msg this creature object is put into a player object, which id, lets say

  is a fixed offset from that creatureobject id

3. from there on we send updates to the client, creature specific(CREOs), referencing this creatureobject id and

  player specific(PLAYs), referencing the offset player id

4. procedure would be the same for npc 5. non npc -> creatures, dont need PLAY updates 6. we have an inventory object, which is set off from the creatureobject id 7. we have a mission_bag object, which is set off from the creatureobject id 8. we have a weaponslot object, which is set off from the creatureobject id 9. we have a hair object which is set off from the creatureobject id

On Object <-> cell linking

Currently it seems, we only need to send a containment msg when we want to load in to a cell. The linked id would be the creatureobject id. Linktype would be 0xffffffff. No containment msgs are sent, when entering/leaving a cell while in game So this needs further testing..
