Item Collector doesn't seem to be collecting

[Dash728]

Hi I'm trying to collect some items that I know are missing from the DB. I walked through installing the proper items from the walkthrough, but when I launch the item collector it get stuck on the "listening on device" step:

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or maybe have the wrong device selected? Any thoughts on how to correct this?

Its listening on a wireless network is that how you're connecting to the internet?

Also it will listen from when you zone in everquest.

Yes, I play on a laptop connected to wifi. I tried zoning several times and nothing seemed to happen. Do I need to do something special with an item to log it?

whats the output in errfile.txt and is there anything else after what you see.

Looks like you not got a pcap driver installed.

I recommend

https://npcap.com/

This is what my errfile.txt says

I installed the npcap you posted, I had the old wincap installed originally. Nothing shows up after it lists my connection.

can you paste your bat file?
and tell me whats in the directory ?

It looks like its not creating a .ini file to monitor the ipaddresses

Create an ipaddreses.ini file with

[IP_FILTER]
COUNT = 1
USE = 1
LOCAL_IP =
IP_1 = 69.174

[OPTIONS]
KEEPDBFILE = 0
ARQCACHE = 2048
PROCESSZONEITEMS = 0


in it.

i updated the download to include the ini file that it should create on the fly, if you run in any options it could be an access rights issue it creates ini files to keep track of some data.

I have also attached the zip file to this forumn post.

Here is the run.bat
set USERNAME=Erod
set DEVICE={3C4799D9-DF39-4D42-B3CE-07047785728E}
#set DEBUG=0xFFFFFF
set DEBUG=0x07
java -jar ItemCollect.jar -debug %DEBUG% %DEVICE% %USERNAME%
@pause

I added that .ini file to the folder as well - there was another .ini file there originally that looked to be the same

try DEVICE=number instead in the bat file.

so on load u have

DEVICE=0 is interface: \Device\NPF_Loopback : name:lo (Software Loopback Interface 1) on /127.0.0.1 /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
DEVICE=1 is interface: \Device\NPF_{83CD8D34-3977-444F-92A1-1E6E7D462C3C} : name:lo (Software Loopback Interface 1) on /127.0.0.1 /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
DEVICE=2 is interface: \Device\NPF_{9408EBC0-3FD7-42F0-950D-DAD6E7820CC7} : name:lo (Software Loopback Interface 1) on /127.0.0.1 /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1
etc
put DEVICE=<num> of what you trying to capture.

e.g.

DEVICE=2 for the 3rd one I list there.
