Stripping items

[rodec]

I have a server running and it works good with one exception. Every time a person zones to a new zone their equipment and bags.... ect are stripped. The server also does not appear to be saving anyone character either. If you log out your gear is stripped. Has anyone had a problem like this before?

yes, it was do to a currupt DB, so you probable have some DB issues to work out.

those are completely DB related and not stemmed from the code at all. Make sure the structure of your tables is up to date with the latest db.sql (packaged with 0.5.2 official release).

To compare structures of 2 DBs, use a program called "SQLyog"... do a google search for it, it'll be the first result.

probally what i get fo downloading someone elses database and using that instead of making my own :p Does anyone have and recomendations on the easiest way to create my own database?

[mattmeck]

Download and use the Myra DB, or TCS's

I am recieving an error everytime anyone gets to the character creation screen. it is reported by world.exe and the error reads "recieved unknown opcode:0x02db size:0 bytes" what are your thoughts? Also if someone creates a new character, reguardless of the the name the character is given the name is rejectd. Even though it is rejected the character is still created and can be played. Strange errors..... but again no gear is retained on zoneing or otherwise. At this point i am practly positive it is not the db. I have been working with 3 dbs today and for all 3 to have the same problem is seems a bit strange. i suppose the only real way to be sure though is if someone would be so kind to link a db they are curently using on a 5.3 dr2 server. If someone would be willing to help me out i would be most greatfull.
