MySQL-Front Question
 

When using MySQL-Front I understand you can modify values to edit or create items as well as edit other things. My question is how to get these changed values to take effect because when I enter them , they stay changed in the program, but in game when I reload server they dont change. Everything is still default. Any ideas? It is the same db eq that it is my Mysql folder.

Like..Kinda click on another box so it gets entered..If your db ini say eq then its eq.

Yea , it did work when I edited what zone my character was in but when I edited a piece of armor's value for wisdom and ac that didnt work for some reason. The item in game is still how it is default. Any ideas why this may be?
I went back and checked and the item is still altered but it doesnt change in game.

Re-serialize Items
 

You can make the changes to your items but you have to reserialize them after you make the changes and save them.

This thread explains how to do so using serialize_items.pl

That is how I make my changes to my items and it works great.

Ah so that was it is, well I see the serialization column in MySQL and read that post but dont understand what FNW is saying to do in order to serialize these items.. what is cvs btw

You can go to the files download section @

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=88515

Get the 6.2 source and there should be a folder in there for utils or something like that where the serialize_items file is at.

That shoud get your items to look the way they should.

I click on serialize_items in the C:\EQEmu-0.6.2\utils and a window quickly appears and then dissapears. It that what your supposed to do? I did that but my items still havent changed to the way they are edited. I also tried clicking on the file serialize_items in C:\eqemu and it did same thing and still didnt take affect in game.
