Sordie has checked it I believe. Client isn't writing anything there.

This is correct. I used EO.Addons to discover exactly what API the EO client uses to draw text (ExtTextOutA) and where and when it attempts to draw. There is no attempt to draw any text in the "Job" section, nor the "Elem." section in the stats page.

cant you just like program it to set a text at a specific location like

horrible code exapmle: 

Set job at (x,y) @ Paperdoll??

Yes. This would require me to write an EO.Addon to do this and also a way of getting the job data from your server too this new addon. If I was going to do this I'd probably split the title data. eg. Setting a characters title to "Geek Goddess|BinaryCook"woulddisplaythetitleas"GeekGoddess"andthejob as "Binary Cook". This would also require some server editing to only send the job appended to the title in the paperdoll packets.

EDIT:
OK I wrote an EO.Addon that adds job support to the client. More info in my EO.Addons topic. Now I just need an EOSERV programmer to work with to add support for this to EOSERV.. Any takers?

I can do it. I wrote AS script for testing and in paperdoll it looked like this:
Home field:

"my homeÃ"

Job field:

"my job"

Oh, So you don't know C++ very well, as other language?

I'm fine with C++ thanks. Just wouldn't want to download EOSERV and make a CodeGear project for it just so I can compile it when there are plenty of able minded people here (-points at Apollo-) XD

The proper is to send the home name as ~home¬job where home is the name given to the players home and job of course is that. It is an easy add to eoserv. Create a database column for job name, add reading and saving support in character.cpp as well as making entries for this->job, andfinally, edit Paperdoll.cpp to enter both strings within the one for home. Have fun with it.

I know I'm bumping an extremely old topic, but I haven't found any new info on adding jobs, and I was curious if you, or any one else had a tutorial or more info/explanation behind what to do? 

Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

/facepalm why not READ the topic before you bump it. Clearly it shows and explains there is no jobs.

I think he means the packet structure for the paperdoll in order to show the job to clients with the addon. Apparently from what I've read, its either in title or home, but all the methods I saw mentioned in the posts don't seem to work. :s Theres no clear explanation on how the job goes in the packet.

Actually i'm pretty sure you can do this BUT you need a Addon, If i remembered this correctly.

They was a thread about it im not sure but it could of been addisons addon

Yes Ryou ;-; I've seen and heard of ways, before I had a server to display Jobs along use of Sordie's Job Addon, by command of $job name jobhere , just like the $title name titlehere

Well if you read this topic Sordie explains she can only do it with her EO.Addon as the client doesn't support jobs
