ItemFlags changed? ( IsProspectable )

[teufel123]

Hey I'm working on a simple prospecting module but am allready stuck on checking if an object is prospectable.

I'm using the ItemFlags posted in the const thread and reading the flags witht the ItemFields.DynamicFlags descriptor 0x5C. I'm reading the item objects correctly and if I get an ore by name and check its flag it reads me 0x00030000 which is wrong according to Prospectable = 0x00040000

Also when I filter my items flag by 0x00030000 I get more items then just the ores so the flag "is not just off".

Appreciate any help.

I'm by no means an expert, but my understanding of these flags is that they are BitVectors, so try looking at the binary representation of the flags you are reading for known prospectable items vs non-prospectable ones and seeing if you can figure it out that way? E.G. the flag you are reading (0x30000) is 0b110000000000000000 in binary, and as you can see two bits are set. I presume one of these is 'prospectable'. This is, of course, if the flags are indeed BitVectors, prospectability flag is stored where you think it is, and your offsets are correct.

Another place you could look is in IDA, look at XRefs for the string "SPELL_FAILED_CANT_BE_PROSPECTED" and working from there.

Sorry I couldn't be much help. Hope I didn't provide any misinformation either!

I tried reading the descriptor as a "BitVector32" then checking it like "Flag[ItemFlags.Prospectable]" but still it was false.

EDIT: string ref leads to nothing usefull. Anybody know whats wrong?

I would check the xrefs to the string 'ITEM_PROSPECTABLE'
