Updated Solo Server Package

[djeryv]

Get rid of this part and you will be all set

-- This increases spawn rates for the quick spawning monsters
-- It allows you to clear dungeons easier

UPDATE spawn2 SET respawntime=1800 WHERE respawntime<1800;

...or reduce the time.

I ran the eqemu installer from akkadius and only running a local server. I can join and play the server from a fresh install but as soon as I modify the database with the solo-server.sql I can no longer see the server running in game. I followed the steps in the read me and from other post in this thread. It does appear to be up and running from what I can see on the cmd windows running. Anyone have any advice?

First I want to thank you for the scripts as this has made a fairly entertaining solo server for me and my friends so far. Curious if you developed any approaches to scaling down NPC spells? These updates work pretty well for most content but I found a few issues one you start getting into higher levels.

NPC pets were not scaled. The best approach I came up with to solve this one was to identify pets which were NPC only and a scale those. Not sure how well that will work in the long run if there are lots of NPCs using pets which are also use for PCs.

NPC spells are still full strength. Have to be real careful dealing with casters. Raid targets fall into this category as well. Any spells or procs they have do full damage still. I am not sure how best to approach this one other than going through one by one .

I also had to edit the Perl script for the Sister in PoK, who could sent you to zoned not yet done where NPC’s hit for millions...I just removed those from her list.

Hey there,

First of all, thank you so much for putting together this for everyone! I was wondering if someone could give me a hand with an issue I am experiencing.

After installing the Akka's repack, I downloaded your server files. I placed all of the .pl files in the correct location, but am having trouble figuring out where to put the main .SQL file. I placed it in the mariadb folder with the other .sql files, but this proved to do nothing.

I have tried to look on various forums and guides and haven't discovered anything in regards to overwriting sql files. Can anyone help me with this?

Hey there, first off thanks for the work you've put into this! Really enjoy the changes you've made and looking forward to getting further into it to take out some of those bosses I've always wanted to get revenge on

Having a bit of an issue in playing with a friend. Got the server up and running fine, shows up on the server ist, we can both log in (me locally from the same machine, him via the internet), and we can adventure and kill things and take their stuff normally. However, if we Hail the new added NPCs (Teacher, etc.) it will crash the other player's client. He hails the Teacher, I crash, I hail the Teacher, he crashes. If I'm by myself, I can use them fine. Any clues as to what is going on?

I'm thinking my system should handle things fine, but here are the specs: Windows 10 Pro, i7 4790K quad core @ 4GHz, 16G RAM, GTX 1080Ti card, and the server is running off an SSD drive.
