DB table entries - rebooting
 

Just a little thing I am wondering about. There is many things one can do when
editing the tables in the database and having the client pick up on it without
having to reboot the server.
I create and edit NPC's in game, give them quests, reloadquest, etc., edit the
items table, execute the ./shared_memory and it all works good.
But two things I can not do without having to reboot the server :

One - Edit merchant items. (add items to merchant or delete them). They get
added ok, and they save ok in the table. But no matter what I do, the client
won't get the updated table until I reboot the server.

Two - When I edit the npc_spells_entries, same thing, I have to reboot the
server before the npc will actually use it.

Its no big deal, I just thought it would be nice if I could edit-test-edit-test,
throughout the day, without having to reboot the server. But if this is the
way it is right now, no problem, just thought I would ask. (smirk)

Turns out the senile old server admin simply had to remove the zone with merchants from
the static launcher. Now the merchant table gets updated when zoning.......(smirk)

You can do a zone shutdown on whatever the static zone was as well to reload merchants.

OH Thank You, thats good to know
