Ive did a few searches on forums for an answer on this but i cant seem to find one...

Just wondering where cna i change the starting location of chars?(i would like all the players to start in the arena)

Also how do i change what items they start with once into the game for first time....

I have already done the exact same thing for my server.

in Common/database.cpp Replace THIS:

end += sprintf(end, "UPDATE character_ SET timelaston=0,guild=0, zonename=\'%s\', x=%f, y=%f, z=%f, profile=\'", GetZoneName(pp->zone_id), pp->x, pp->y, pp->z);

WITH:

end += sprintf(end, "UPDATE character_ SET timelaston=0,guild=0, zonename=\'arena\', x=468, y=-41, z=23, profile=\'", 77, 468, -41, 23);

assuming you have the latest code from the CVS.

Rogean is talking about modifying the source, which from your confusion sounds like you just downloaded the binaries. There are guides all over about how to go the long method (downloading the source and compiling it yourself) rather than using the precompiled binaries.

So is there no way i can edit this since i have already made the database by sourcing a .sql file?..Do i not edit sumthing in the .sql file then source it in..??And what would i be looking for?

Looking at the fact you are clueless as to what the source code is, Your best bet is to give up on the idea.

Not trying to be rude, its just that in order to do what your wanting to do you need to know C++ and mess with the Code and make changes for yourself.

[tatung]

Ok well since i cant do that is there now a 3rd party program that can..What aobut starting items?

[mattmeck]

No 3rd party program for editing starting points, and you change starting items by editing the starting items table in the DB.

Rogean's fix will make this problem not happen in the next release. It doesn't fix your problem today, tatung. You must wait.

But is there not a way to just change all the 'zoneid' in 'start_zone' table with some massive mysql command to the arena zoneid?
