The client sends SetTooltipFlag (469: bFlag, then the tooltip,
2 live packets, both tooltip 24) when a tooltip has been shown, and
follows it with SetFlag for the same ID. DLU dropped it and never wrote
char@ttip, so the client's tooltip bits reset on every load.
- SetTooltipFlag message struct and handler: the bit is set or cleared on
the CharacterComponent exactly as the client does it
(LWOCharacterComponent::SendMessage 0x00d34330): tooltips above 127 are
ignored, set = 1 << tooltip, clear = mask ~1 << tooltip (which also
clears the lower bits), shifts of 64 or more give 0.
- Saved as char@ttip, a 64-bit value (the client reads it with
GetLongLongValue in LoadFromSaveData 0x00ca4910). Live wrote it on
every character (226 live charxmls: "0" or "16777216" = tooltip 24).
Old saves without it load with 0.
Check in game: on a new character, trigger a first-time tooltip (e.g.
the one about an item or a new area), change zones and log out and back
in: the character loads normally and the same tooltip does not come back.
