Creating new spells

[Aldest]

I'm using the MySQL query browser. I didn't actually think about importing the spell list. That is really quite brilliant.

In that instance couldn't I just edit the spell file, important it to the database and then issue it to the players?

You should be careful about what files you distribute. SOE has been known to have servers shut down for that. I doubt they would do it for just a spell file but you should be aware that it could happen...

Yep - you could definitely do that, edit then import.

Andrew80k has a very valid point about what and how you are distributing.

Thank you for the advice and I'll give that a shot.

I understand about the spell distribution being an issue normally. I hope to avoid that in one of two ways.

The first is that I never intend for my server to leave my LAN. It is just for my buddies to play on.

The second though is if my friends have legitimate copies of titanium (with the spell file) and I just send them an update to that file does that constitute distribution of someone's material?

I'd say that's grey area.... I'm sure SOE could give you trouble if they wanted - howevery I highly doubt that you'd ever get on their radar.
