Here's another guerilla fix! This will fix the chat messages that got broken in the last patch (they now show up as garbage, usually just "d").

In everquest.h, go to line 1030, and change this:

OLD: /*0136*/ int8_t unknown0136[4];
NEW: /*0136*/ int8_t unknown0136[8];

Yes, all you need to do is change the 4 to an 8.

Now, you must "make clean" and recompile showeq from scratch. For some reason, just doing "make" will not work (the change will not take effect)!

Tested it by just sitting in POK watching spam go by, and it seems to work....

I have a more complete patch that changes the comments in nearby lines, to make the offsets line up, if interested (attached).
