Question about Upgrading Emu build from old version to new version

ChaosSlayer · #1 01-07-2008, 12:36 PM

Hello!
First of all let me say that I was away from Emu since May and I am simply AMAZED how much work was done for the project since then!!
I read the logs and you guys fixed and added tons and tons of features!
I am realy pleased to see that Emu is alive and kicking =)

Now on my question.
Basicly my Emu build is from May 07, and I like to put on the latest build. However I am concerned if all the changes you made will be compateable with my custom DB (I added/chaged items, npc etc)

I belive atleast once i saw in the log that a new table has to be added to DB.
But I never before uprgaded from one build to another so little uncertain to proper way to do it.
Could you please post some basic sugestions?

what is the build number of your binaries? are you using 7.0?

If using 7.0 you should be able to just paste the lastest build over the old one and then run all the sql thats in the changelog.txt from oldest to newest build. Start with anything after your build and move to current date.

thank you for answering!

I am not sure what is 7.0
But my client is Titanium and my emulator build is 0.7.7-992
basicly I need understand if I am missing naything:

1. insert SQl values into Db as mentioned in changelog
2. download and copy over new build

anything else?

basicly by greatest worry if my custom DB is in jepordy from this uprgade =)

thanks again!

always always back up your database before the changes. and you will be good.

There have also been some changes to water mapping. You can find the new water maps at Angelox's site. With the current build (1074) and with a few rule additions listed under the development forum, you will be able to have all of the features listed under the 1074 log. Definitely back up though. I would also backup your eqemu directory just to be safe.
