SVN Discussion

[cubber]

After I built the current SVN and ran my script to create the proper symlinks in my server directory, I noticed that cleanipc does not automatically build in the current svn revision. I had to maunally go into the utils directory and run make to build it.

cleanipc is still needed for a clean server shutdown correct?

cleanipc is required, that was my mistake. I'll re-add it. (I don't ever build it anymore because it hasn't changed in years)

Thanks cavedude, I also noticed that on the peq changelog it says rev 52 and peq db 1029d

I just built svn rev 52 but when I pulled down the peq db from cvs to update my db I only got rev 1029c. Does rev 52 require 1029d or can I wait until you commit it to cvs? I have not had a chance to log onto my server to test yet but it seems to have started up fine.

[cavedude]

1029d is just some content changes (mostly potimeb) I'll be committing it today after I get more of the bosses done. You can use 1029c with Rev 52 just fine. Make sure you update your Titanium conf file!

I always use the latest server files from the source by sym-linking the changing files from the server directory to my build directory:

I have one script for each build type. ie install_bots , install_nobots, install_svn:

here is my svn script:

#!/bin/bash

#Create server symlinks

ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/utils/defaults/* .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/utils/patch_* .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/utils/cleanipc .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/world/world .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/EMuShareMem/libEMuShareMem.so .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/eqlaunch/eqlaunch .
ln -s /usr/src/game-servers/eqemu/build/eqemu/EQEmu-0.7.0-SVN-r52/zone/zone .

I have these scripts located in my server directroy. Oh yah, and the delete script that I run before I run the install script:

#!/bin/bash

#Cleanup old symlinks

rm cleanipc commands.pl eqemu_config.xml.full eqlaunch libEMuShareMem.so log.ini logs mime.types patch_* plugin.pl templates world worldui worldui.pl zone

The only things that stay static in my server directory are the quests, maps, xml files, spell files and the start - stop - persist world scripts.

Hmm, seems I am unable to get past character select. I have tried now on rev's 52 and 57 with peq_1029c.

[cubber]

I belive my issue is DB related. Seems there are a few extra tables when upgrading from 1029 to 1029c, and these tables are not added when you load the peq-db.sql file. Looks like they are load_player.sql tables. One of these in particular is group_id.

What is the cleanest way to update an old db with characters and accounts to the new 1029c? Just add the missing tables, and append the new variables, rule_values and commands?

I take it new variables, rule_values, and commands are always located at the end of the .sql files? This way I can just look at the end of the file and add everything that comes after the last entry I have in my db?

Thanks
