Updated Solo Server Package

Here's a thought. Would it be possible to add the ability to say to her something like, "have you met any new merchants?", and have her do a live table drop and rebuild while in the server playing? With some sort of limit on how often the drop/rebuild could happen, like...no more than once per hour or only once per server restart.

Also, when I want to use HeidiSQL to access the EQ tables to mess with stuff, or add the stuff from your EQEmuSoloSettings.zip archive, do I start the EQ server first? And should I start it without the login server via t_start_server.bat, as opposed to t_start_server_with_login_server.bat?

If a query cannot run super-quick, then players will notice when the server stops responding. So your idea would cause that temporary freeze as tables are dropped and rebuilt. My final solution works fine on my system so I will leave it as is.

You should have your server off before adding this package.
