Mwdragon-

the db.sql that comes packaged with releases (and cvs builds) should always be where you work from. In other words, instead of sourcing Tcs' db in, then just trying to play eqemu without verifying that there are known problems and/or fixes, try comparing a proved-to-work db (db.sql, the developers give this to everyone for a reason) with the db you are having problems with.

Since you seem to not grasp db editing too comfortably, take my word for it -- use a program called "SQLyog" (free) to compare 2 databases. It syntax highlights changed or 'off' values for quick compares. Compare db.sql with mwnpcmov* db you are using. This will, in almost every case fix your problem (or at least bring to focus what is different, so you have somewhat of an intelligible question to pose to the developers).

I'll be the nice one and tell you that complaining via the forum (or on irc) is a bad idea, and will get you nowhere. Tcs has put a LOT of work into his db's, and it's premature to say 'they don't work'... why? I use them! He would never release a 'non working' db... I know this because I typically stress test his dbs on my server, and I've had nothing but compliments on the db content.
