How do you update item DBs?

Lurker_005 · #17 01-21-2002, 04:22 PM

Auto grabbing items from the live servers is definatly the best way to go... But that does require someone activly collecting the items. Also I have noticed that there are several entries in the current database that are corrupt. Take a look at the first 30 or so items with the admin tool. Above and beyond that there is a bunch of garbage in there that dosen't apear to affect the database. Notice all the garbage between the item name and lore name, that should be all nulls.
Someone posted a image that had the hex values for items, but that was on the other board. Well this is what I have found messing with it last weekend. I am sure windcatcher can tell us some more also. The first numbers are the hex offset for the item. Note some values seem to be used differently for different type of items like bags/spells. I am not sure how it would impact the emu, but I imagine changing the item from a BLOB in SQL to individual entries would make dealing with the item records easier.

Code:

00-21  	Item Name
22	&lt;Null>
23-5D  	Lore name
5E	&lt;Null>
5F-63	ID File (or 5f-64)
&lt;Null>

(hex bytes reversed)

65-66	Flag (or 66-67)
&lt;Null>

7D	Weight
7E	No save (summoned)
7F	No drop
80	Size
81	&lt;Null>
82-83	Item Number
84-85	Icon Number
85-86	Equipable Slots (binary)
87-8B	??
8C-8D	Cost in cp
8E	??
A4	Str
A5	Sta
A6	Cha
A7	Dex
A8	Int
A9	Agi
AA	Wis
AB	MR
AC	FR
AD	CR
AE	DR

C4-C5	&lt;null>?
C6-C7	Spell ID
C8-C9	Clases
CA-CB	&lt;null>?
CC-CD	Races ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Ogr Trl
CE	&lt;null>?
D0	Weight Reduction? (set same as BA?? Item Type)
D1	same as BC?? level
D2	charges

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was very sick with the Flu which has bed ridden me for the last 6 days. Before I was sick, I was able to get some new items in. Some items include Worked,Heavy,Matchless Dragon armor,and all the items down to "eashen of the sky'' in the North Temple of Veeshan Drop list website listed a few posts above. Fixed a bunch of textures on items, and some items who's slots were wrong. You can grab the new items here

I dunno what I'm supposed to do to import your (Ricos) new items db, so I just went to the command line and:

c:\mysql\bin\mysql
mysql> use eq
Database changed
mysql> source items.sql

It seems to work, just makes a million really annoying beeps, So I unplugged the internal speaker so no beeps... Is there a better way to do it?

Thanks, Jack

I went into the file and emptied out the pieces I didn't need (like the table creation and extra data (accounts, zone server IPs, etc). I was left with a 4 meg file of the items, spawns, npcs, and zones. And no beeps

It might be a good idea to either delete your EQ database structure (but not the DB itself) or just empty the tables and live through a few beeps than to just run this file after running the standard db.sql.

CoderJ · #21 01-28-2002, 07:53 AM

Just noticed this DB is still in the old format, so unless you have an easy way to modify the INSERTS on some of the tables, delete everything except for the "DUMPING ITEM DATA" section.

Also, Rico, you might want to check you zones on your server. The last 5 or 6 entries have the small name and long name switched (and are duplicate entries to boot!).

If anyone wants, I can upload an edited version that works with 0.2.0's DB structure (without spawns, sorry. Not sure if the spawns the way Rico has them work in 0.2.0)

Coderj that would be great if you could.

CoderJ · #23 01-30-2002, 01:39 AM

Okay, it's up....

Click here to get it

This is easy to install, and if Rico releases more in the future, I'll mod those as well for general consumption. It's very recommended you have phpMyAdmin installed and run through this process.

Open up phpMyAdmin (make sure you're web server (I use Apache) and MySQL services are both started) and click on "EQ" in the right hand window.
Put a check mark in "items" and "zone".
Click on the "Empty" button near the bottom of the table list.
A new page, asking if you want to go through with the delete will pop up. Confirm it, then exit phpMyAdmin.
Extract "items.sql" from "mod-itemsv3.0.zip" to your MySQL bin directory (may be something like "C:\mysql\bin", if you're on Linux, you know where to find it ).
Run "mysql"
Type in "use eq;" and hit return.
Type in "source items.sql;" and hit return. At this point, it will process the file and your screen should get flooded by confirmation of each query in the file "Query Complete. 0 rows affected... blah blah". If it beeps, note what the error was and report it back here. If it says duplicate entry on anything, you did not properly empty your "items" or "zone" table. There's about 7,692 items and zones that get inserted, so if you do not properly follow these instructions, you will get 7,962 beeps. Trust me, it's annoying.

In the future, I may configure the sql file to auto empty the relevant database tables prior to the INSERT queries so you don't have to muck through phpMyAdmin (which is a great tool if you do any PHP/MySQL development).
