This is what we all need never-mind want
Helo all, i am Creen , i understand all mysql, php, Perl, linux/unix, TCP-IP networks, i have my own ver 7 eqemu version using PEQ DB up and running with lan/vpn and external ip's loggin in with no problem using the current wiki as for snippets of useful information but was frustrating in the process because of the state of the wiki as it is now.
My concern is why we arent producing as a collective a Database that encompasses all features and working tables?
I am currently hacking PEQ + Cavemans DB to recreate a suitable working DB as it seems when i look at them both they are in a competative race to succeed in what we all want, both DB has the goods but is divided.
To me i see the wiki as a jumbled information centre where you spend time looking for answers/fixes that are spread out in every direction, i read cole's topic and every poster has there argument in a nutshell, everyone is correct in a sense, it's just how you perceive there argument.
What i am after is a Database that i can simply parse into mysql and see what is much needed to be fixed from there, simply put.. PEQ DB dosent have PoK populated with doors, mobs or anything while Cavemans has, so far i got POK populated with roaming npc's, Banker, and Traders all working using Cavemans DB inserted into PEQ's DB, this in itself is nonsense, why should i have to hack an slash code for either of them to work from each other?? imo there should be a single working Database with all features an code working together on the wiki.
To read that Squeaker DB is up for sale is a complete joke! of course it is ffs, i dont care what work was implemented to complete that database, all i care is that i know from playing on that DB, that is what i want on my own mysql and from there i can fix/patch/implement what is much needed and resend out to all that needs, selling a DB???, sounds like SOE to me,.. thought this was open source?
this isnt an attack on the good work that the main players have been doing but i sense a kind of snobbery/ego in these forums that all the rest are mass and hence they aren't cared for, get with the program and become one and not divided.
