eqemu_update.pl keeps asking if I want to update

[superemu]

I am running eqemu_update.pl to update the quests. But, the process keeps asking me if I want to update specific quests, and I have to type 'yes' and <enter> every time. Can I make it just automatically update all quests?

[Akkadius]

Just hold enter until it's done.

The point is so that it doesn't overwrite custom changes, or you have the option to decide if you want to overwrite

replace sub quest_files_fetch subroutine with the following:

print "\nFetched latest quests...\n";

Not the prettiest thing and I didn't check output (print) syntax format, but, in the case you just want to make a pot of coffee or something while it updates ALL quests files that are different from master (including custom quests by the same name), then there ya go.

[superemu]

Great. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong. Everything else runs so smoothly. :)

If I'm not mistaken, when doing updates for quests, even if you let it overwrite
the custom quests, it backs up your old ones ? I haven't ran that update in
awhile, but I thought it did.

[ghanja]

Yes, it does, however, it does overwrite the ones that EQEMU uses. Semantics. <grin>

[DanCanDo]

Myself, running any updates from that script, I do it from a server test folder first, just to
see what's up before I run it on my main custom server.

Yes, after having run custom servers for years myself, I don't want a quest update to overwite something that I have customly put in a zone and have it be gone forever.

You're welcome
