You are not supposed to search for items by ID.
!item ID <- Show item by ID
!items NAME <- search for item by name

This works for everyone else and must be something wrong from your side as you are doing search by ID and not name in the search string. I cannot fix that problem for you.
Check if you have made a comalias for !item pointing to !items (!help comalias)

Check if you have made a comalias for !item pointing to !items (!help comalias)

I can see in backlog that your bot search by item number, but it should search by item name. So check the comalias...

Screenshot can be helpfull..

Had a lot of MySQL crashes when Crom came back up briefly on the global sniffer for Crom - seems the new Russian chat causes some problems for the Crom sniffer...

By reading the topic and first post

It seems that in update 4.0, which is currently on testlive, the item links will change a little bit.    Here's a fix to make the old links (returned by the item database server) work with the 4.0 game client: in the command_handler function in Items.php, replace
return $this -> bot -> core('items') -> search_item_db_details($words);
with
return preg_replace(
    '#itemref://([0-9a-f]*)/([0-9a-f]*)/0/([1-9][0-9]?)/([0-9a-f:]*)/([0-9a-f:]*)/([0-9a-f:]*)([^/0-9a-f:])#i',
    'itemref://$1/$2/0/0/$3/$4/$5/$6/$6$7',
    $this -> bot -> core('items') -> search_item_db_details($words));

P.S.  With some further experimentation, it seems that most of the digit salad at the end of the link is completely irrelevant, as long as there's something there.  E.g. I linked a Bloodseraph's Chestguard in a tell to the bot and the logs showed that the bot received this link:
itemref://3800224/3800224/0/0/80/6df3ae75:8c0cf53b:e81418d0:93d4c95a/6df3ae75:8c0cf53b:e81418d0:93d4c95a/b290805c:29e627ca:b290805c:29e627ca/b290805c:29e627ca:b290805c:29e627caBut when I manually changed it to
itemref://3800224/3800224/0/0/80/0:0:0:0/0:0:0:0/0:0:0:0/0:0:0:0it worked just as fine.  So the main thing seems to be that you now need to have 4 groups of 4 numbers, whereas before this update you had 3 groups of 4 numbers.  The "/80/" segment is the item level that gets displayed when you click the item link (you can change it and the game will show a different level in the tooltip).

very interesting. I dare say the extra field will be used for the crafting revamp, where you can craft items with innate bonus stats (seemingly dependent on throwing in extra ingredients during the crafting process). They probably store the bonus stats while keeping the base stats and graphics the same.

Hi all,

I need to have details on how to connect my Bot to new Items Central Database

My info is:
Bot: Myrmidonbot
Dimension: Crom

Thx in advance.

I'll just copy what Getrix wrote in the very first post. 


"If you wanna have access to the Alternative itemDB, please send me a PM with Botname and AoC dimension and i will replie ASAP with link to modified module files, passkey and small info to get you up and run against Alternative itemDB."
