Default Winter's Roar Merge

Well,

(this will hit sourceforge CVS by 10/15/04)

The thing that everybody has been waiting for...
(even if you didnt know about it).

The Winter's Roar Merge is finally here.... After hundreds of hours
of coding and testing, I have merged in a ton of features from
Winter's Roar. While I was doing that, I coded up a ton more
features of my own, as well as general code cleanup and reorganization.

A HUGE thanks goes out to wiz for letting me have his source
to facilitate this merge.

Another huge thanks goes to the people involved in testing
this code from project EQ and their players (Celestial).

DB updates:
all together: http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/wr_update.sql
Individuals:
ALTER TABLE items ADD attuneable tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL default '0';
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_actions.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/aa_swarmpets.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/fishing.sql
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/timers.sql (might not be needed)
http://www.eqemulator.net/sql/traps.sql

Here is my best attempt at a change log. This is NOT complete,
much more was done, but I cant possibly list it all.

I thought this would be a good place to include a fix to the classic database. This fixes all start_zones to work properly. Which puts you in the right place upon creation, and consolidates the starting items table hugely.

http://www.peqserver.com/view_files.php?filter=release

Drop the tables, start_zones and starting_items, then source the 2 included sqls.

have fun, kunark is coming soon!

Updated via CVS this morning. When I'm compiling, I'm getting errors that features.h is not found. Indeed, the file is not there. Have the changes not completely propogated to SF yet or was the file left out somehow? That was the only build errors I had.

For the time being, until CVS is up to date:

tarball:
http://www.eqemulator.net/0.6.0-DR1/...20041015-3.tgz

zip:
http://www.eqemulator.net/0.6.0-DR1/...20041015-3.zip

This is just to fill in until CVS is up to date, these files will -not- be maintained going forward. Once CVS is up to date, they will be removed.
