PEQ Ykesha Beta DB and Quests Released

[Angelox]

You will need to run this into your database also:

INSERT INTO quest_globals
   (`charid`, `npcid`, `zoneid`, `name`, `value`)
VALUES
   (0, 0, 0, 'shifter', '1');

INSERT INTO quest_globals
   (`charid`, `npcid`, `zoneid`, `name`, `value`)
VALUES
   (0, 0, 20, 'kith', '1');

INSERT INTO quest_globals
   (`charid`, `npcid`, `zoneid`, `name`, `value`)
VALUES
   (0, 0, 51, 'lrathe', '1');

Nice work on the DB and quests, guys. PEQ is my favorite DB.

That night/day shift thing looks awfully complex. There really is no provision in the emulator to handle it internally? I know I could never get it to work, but I thought it was my lack of understanding.

I been watching this thing for a while now but nobody ever mentions it's for a
*nix Build I guess they just think everyone runs *nix these days.
the Day Night cycle is designed as a *unix script but you can easy use it for windows also.
theres a program called crontab that lets it work for windows.
CRONw is a small collection of Perlie things providing the main functions of a *nix-style CRON to the Perl-enabled Windows world.
It runs as a system service without any additional tools, using the functionality provided by Win32:aemon

Actually, I first made it as a .bat file for windows-when it was just two lines intended for the day/night mobs in Rathe a Kithicor.
Maybe someone will make a script in C and we'll have it in the source. the SQLs I made for npc_types and spawn conditions, will always be needed regardless what is done. Something like a new variable called $time would be nice. (if $time >=800 and <=1900, then it would be day time, or you could say , if $time==1936 , you could spawn some mob and start something )- $time would just return the current EqEmu time.
I just like to make things work "now", and will do anyway I know how to. It's all working nicely with no problems, so why not?
Seems to me Perl is underestimated in EqEmu. Just thought of as a "quest" tool , when you can do so much more. When I want to do something different, first thing I start thinking of is "Perl" solutions, probably because I haven't learned much in C yet.

I don't believe this version is on the CVS?

It seems the last time the CVS was updated was 24 October.

Is the CVS not being updated?

Anyhow, thanks for the database! Much appreciated.

I've been lazy, I'll get to updating it today.

Oh, I also forgot to mention the release includes the newest 13th floor item database, as well as the village of Gukta in Rathe Mountains fully working.

CVS is updating now, give it some time before grabbing it.
