GeorgeS: Request for a Bot back-up tool

[GeorgeS]

A bot backup/restore tool is easy to write. In fact I'll add the ability to do the same for accounts and toons as well.

I'll give this a few days to plan out the logic, then code and test it.

I'll default the output to export to .sql

GeorgeS

this will be added to npc&loot editor most likely..

In case you have not tried it, it's done. NPC & Loot Editor has the feature built in now.

Oh thanks! I almost missed this post, I've been submerged in the Merchant list clean up these past days, I have to say, PoK is a nightmare! I think I must be halfway through.

I'll DL and check it out - Thanks again GeorgeS.

Hi, Very nice loot editor! so much different from your first one.
Can you include the accounts too with the BOT back up?

account
character_
inventory
character_backup
faction_values
guild_members
guild_ranks
guild_relations
guilds
petitions
player_corpses
player_corpses_backup
sharedbank
zone_flags
botinventory
botleader
botsowners

That's all what I usually back up (and the isbot=1 Npcs)- it's pointless to back up Bots only, as they are related to the accounts and characters.
Thank you!

Your wish is my command

I was going to add this in the next version, but now I'll prioritise it.

Should be relatively easy, but heck I'll find out.

Thanks, I hope you didn't go by that list I posted, already I saw where I left the inventory table out.
This will be a great help, as it's very hard to explain new users, how to back up those bots, and I'm going crazy trying to make core updates and not interfere with the npc_types bots.
Soon I'll be 'that crazy old guy' that walks barefoot down the street with a sack and a stick, collecting garbage and talking to invisible people

Finished the backup/restore tool

NPC and Loot Editor
08.21.09 - Added support for Backing up your Account and Toons, Inventory and many other tables. Restore is also built in!

Hope it works for you.
