Whats the best DB that has NPC's?
 

Hey everyone, whats the best DB to use? I wanna be able to do dragon raids and stuff :D Also merchants would be cool. Are there any zone listings for the #zone command? I tried trakanon but it took me to the teeth and I dont know the name of the zone hes in... :P

ariak is goin to release his soon , its based on drawde's db + NTOV planes kael and the like

(he will release it tomorow or in a few days max )

Very cool thanks, I got a question about DBs? Do I just replace the db file or do I have to go through the whole mysql thing?

you can just run mysql and then do the same process ( use eq , source db.sql ) but your goin to hear a lot of computer beeps (about 25 000 ) so best thing is to drop the db and recreate it , then you source it

I may be wrong of course so if someone else has a better id listen to him ;o)

mysql -f eq < filename.sql

will cause a force option that has the nice side affect of disabling the beeps...

you two guys should combine the efforts heh its never effecent to work seperately.

There is an easy way to remove beeps.


1) Do a database dump
cmd - cd mysql cd bin
mysqldump eq > db.sql
then delete 'eq' 'in eqemuadmin'
add 'eq'
open 'mysql'
use eq
source db.sql (the dumped data)

If you open a DB, then dump it, then re-open it, THEN dump it, a second time, it loses 100% of its errors. This allows me to catch bugged spawns :)
