EQEmu Server Pack Installer 3.0 released

[cavedude]

Alright this time around supports 0.6.6 and I eliminated the need for manual configuration almost entirely. (You only need to specify your server name when using public login) There are three packages, the raw pack which includes Linux binaries again, the traditional installer using my database, and finally the installer using PEQ's Luclin database. My database includes 30 newly popped zones, so now it stands at:

All of Classic, Kunark, Velious, Luclin, and Ykesha. All of PoP except for earthb, nightmareb, and timeb (if anybody has working logs for those three please let me know), half of both GoD and OoW (mostly the non-instances), and a handful of LDoN zones.

The binaries are the newest build of 0.6.6 with a couple of small changes and fixes by myself.

here is the .doc file that briefly runs down the install process:

Also, I wanted to mention that this installer DOES NOT enable you to play if you do not have a compatible client. You must already have it and specify the directory it resides in to the installer so it can copy your spell files over.

Finally, my database is contained within the raw pack so if you want just the db, then download that. I'm not going to make a seperate link for just the db to conserve bandwidth.

Nice work, i update the Links on the wiki ;)

I've just downloaded and tested your installer, very very great work, nice improvement for newcomers !

2 small suggestions :

quests/plugins/check_handin.pl needs to be updated, the one you're using isn't safe to use (it may lead to odd results depending how the quest has been written), this is the new one :


# plugin::check_handin($item1 => #required_amount,...);
# autoreturns extra unused items on success
sub check_handin {
my $hashref = shift;
my %required = @_;
foreach my $req (keys %required) {
if ((!defined $hashref->{$req}) || ($hashref->{$req} != $required{$req})) {
return(0);
}
}
foreach my $req (keys %required) {
delete $hashref->{$req};
}
return 1;
}

sub return_items {
my $hashref = shift;
foreach my $k (keys(%{$hashref})) {
next if($k == 0);
my $r;
for($r = 0; $r < $hashref->{$k}; $r++) {
quest::summonitem($k);
}
delete $hashref->{$k};
}
}

1;



Second point, I have to say thank you, i saw that you included questeditor in your package, which makes me feel proud and happy :)
There's a new version, with a very few improvements but several little fixes, like () removed after the event subs, some ; added where they were missing and a button that creates an empty quest based on the check_handin plugin.
