Mercenaries
Hi
Have set up a windows server with client ROF2. Everything is working, however i'm now trying to enable mercs. I enabled them in the rules values table by setting it to true. I've also changed all the mercenary liason merchants to class to 71. I can now hail the merc liason NPC's which I couldn't before the steps above, but the merc box just flashes up and it tells me I don't meet the requirements to purchase mercenaries. Not sure if this matters but the Mercs:AllowMercs entry is against rule set 1 only. When loading the server is loads default ruleset. Any help/idea's very welcome. Thanks PS also tried a new install on a different pc only chnages are the ones noted above and it does exactly the same thing. |
Does your database contain the various merc tables?
|
You'll need to source mercs.sql into your database then.

Hi
I just logged in using Heidi and looked down the main tables list and nothing mentioning mercs. I'm assuming thats where they would be ? This is a fresh install as of today, so maybe they have been removed from the current standard PEQ database. Any anyone confirm if the mercs.sql has been removed? |

Load this (after backing up your database of course). |

Thanks, just wondering though if theres a reason they aren't part of the standard peq download.

From reading posts in another thread, I gathered that Akkadius left it out of his install because it wasn't stable.

ok thanks.

Mercs are quirky; I enjoy them but they will do things or NOT do things that make no sense from time to time. Some of my observations/tips listed here:
There's probably other things I've fixed along the way but these are the main highlights that stick out from using the base merc SQL code from 2013. If someone has updated it since then, I'm not aware of it. All of these observations are NOT from combining the base merc code to the latest server code; but, I suspect it may have not changed much. My base server code is a couple of years old. But at least you'll have an idea of what's going on if you see any of the above happening. Happy Merc'ing |
OMG Thank you so much! Wow, so many lines of code, too... whoever did this is a serious boss a deserves a toast in his or her honor. Good god, I started the query five minutes ago and it's still going. Going to be so worth it, though! :D

So did this work? I imported the merc table into my fresh install of EQEMU, and turned Mercs on, but when I click on a merc guardian, I get no response. Do I need to do something to activate them?

would really like an update on this? i have the merc tables sql. i loaded my server and then loaded heidisql... how do i add merc tables to my database?
you admins and devs are so nice to make all of this but you have a hard time relating info to us regulars. you say "load this into the databse" we say "how?" and years go by without info.... |
