FYI: PEQ 2014-10 schema missing crucial tables

[iluvseq]

For anyone setting up a brand new server, please be aware that the 2014-10-11 player_tables dump only contains CREATE TABLE statements for 5 tables:

CREATE TABLE `commands` (
CREATE TABLE `launcher` (
CREATE TABLE `rule_sets` (
CREATE TABLE `rule_values` (
CREATE TABLE `variables` (


The 2014-09-25 dump, however, has CREATE TABLE statements for 94 tables.

If you are trying to start a new server, you must use the older player_tables dump to setup your database.

Any ideas how one can get the new character_corpse_items table and conversions? I have trying to get to new client rof2 and everything was perfect until these tables came up missing on and sql update I was trying to insert. I was using the sql updates on the db until I came to multiple table sql and then it errored me saying that the Character_Corpse_Items table did not exist. Yes I have did a git pull to update my existing and even tried starting over with git clone to see if there was a difference...no luck. plz help

Looks like database.cpp will create that table as part of CheckDatabaseConvertCorpseDeblob().

In otherwords, just startup world and it should get created for you by the code.

thx for the quick reply, then maybe I am having a corrupted compile then. i'll try a fresh start re-installs

I dbl checked everything to make sure I had all right and updated software. I look in the solution Viewer in my compiler and locate the comment to add the table Character_Corpse_items and the convert Player corpse to character corpse and it will not give it to me. when I source in sql 2014_12_15_multiple_table_updates it give me this error. I have compiled 3 times with same results at this line I get ALTER TABLE `character_corpse_items` ADD `aug_6` int( 11 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `aug_5`; error table does not exist. Sry bout this it is probably something simple but I thinks I give up now, this has beating me for now, lol. Take care

WARNING - PLEASE READ FIRST!

The Oct 11 2014 PEQ database peqbeta_2014-10-11-02:01.tar.gz is broken. Use the peqbeta_2014-09-25-02-01.tar.gz one instead!


Point being do not use the October 11th database. It doesn't work!

Riklin, the character_corpse_items table is not in either of the PEQ dumps as it is a table that is created by the server code itself.

Niteryder1969: the ALTER TABLE will fail, because db_update.pl runs *before* world actually gets around to running. You need to go ahead and let world run by hitting 0 at the db_update.pl prompt. Once it's run once, exit and re-run, and the next time db_update.pl will work because world will have had a chance to create the missing table.

Alternatively, you can simply create the table yourself. Here is the command (taken from common/database.cpp):

CREATE TABLE `character_corpse_items` (
`corpse_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`equip_slot` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
`item_id` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
`charges` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,
`aug_1` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`aug_2` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`aug_3` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`aug_4` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`aug_5` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`aug_6` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT '0',
`attuned` smallint(5) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY(`corpse_id`, `equip_slot`)) ENGINE = InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1;
