So what I'm trying to understand is you just want to update to the latest source build and retain your database? To update your source you just go to this link and download that latest compiled build.

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

Now if you want to compile to the absolute latest build yourself, a list of all the changes and builds can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/updates/list

Now you don't have to change your database in anyway, but you may get errors because new tables have been added and stuff. All you have to do is source these particular updates in, which isn't hard. You just find out when the last time you updated and then add in all the svn updates up until the latest. These don't overwrite anything you have worked on. All of these updates can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqem.../utils/sql/svn


Hope this helps.

Zeice! Thank you very much.

I plan to work on this tomorrow.. as I have a lot of players eager to test new things.

I don't have a desire to compile to the latest build from what I have.. if I can just start with the newest one and modify it from there. From looking at that list, what I currently run looks quite ancient. Let me see if I have the steps correct then.

1. download the latest source at
http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

2. Make a few custom changes I want.. then compile.

3. Then source the r355 svn vs. my database?

I guess only other question I have is how do I know the exact revision of my database? Seems like an easy thing to find or know, but honestly I'm not sure! I assume I need to start at the correct point in time so I'm not modifying columns that don't exist, etc.

Thanks again for info!

I think angelox would be able to answer that better since it's his database you're using, I have no experience with his. You don't need to change your database at all except source in the files from. http://code.google.com/p/projecteqem.../utils/sql/svn If you think your database is really that old then you might need to source them all in, the only way to really tell is if you try to start your server and you get a bunch of errors. Might be a little tedious to add in all those changes but it's the only way I know of for your situation.

And yeah for compiling you just download the source from that link, make your changes and compile.
