I am still trying to convert a friends on characters to my database today. I just got back on this today and really need a copy of ppconvert, or so that is what I am reading. I cannot get the linux ppconvert to compile. I have read that someone had found a compiled .exe but every link I find to that file is dead. I am thinking the characters have the old profile and extprofile. when I copy the SQL over and use eqbrowser I can see some of the stats but others have crazy numbers in there. Those characters also do not show up in the login screen. Help !! has anyone got a compiled ppconvert ?

I noticed that the profile data in my backup shows the BLOB to have a length of 39136, all the newly created characters have a length of 19568, exactly double. Just an FYI, as I am still researching a solution.

Oh thank god. I figured it out.

For some reason HeidiSQL screws up the BLOB fields if you do a copy -> to SQL. If you actually do an export database, but only pick the one table it actually gets the data right in the BLOB fields. This has been plaguing me for weeks now.
