Im not sure if any one has done this, i think i remeber foreverhacking having a tool kinda like it tho.... some one needs to wright a program that will collect zone data from eq live, like you go into the game, go to a zone and it picks up zone points npc spawn points spawn rates factions,quests, maybe loot drops, spawn model types, all that good stuff, then pass it out and have people go check out zones and report the info some where on the forums so that the devs when unsure about a zone or quest or some thing will have pre made refrence to the info. i was think ing it could be some thing that takes down all the info in to an .sql file or text file in sql format so that it could be sourced into a database very simply, ie you zone to poj the programs ays you zoned at -123.34 -333.00 19.0 then codes it to sql and and every spawn it notaceis it takes down all the point info and puts it all into premade sql files..... hopefully some one will catch what im trying to say! CAN IT BE DONE???? :twisted: :twisted:

It can be done, and has been.

The dev team are not the right people to talk to about it, we support the server software, it is in YOUR hands to create the worlds.

Lurker has had scripts in the past, those were the ones that created the FH database if I remember correctly.

All i am saying is that if it isnt a BUG in the code, then do not address it to us, we don't create the databases.

The majority of the DB Addon I release is converted data from www.eqcollector.com

Unfortunatly it hasn't been updated in some time, or the source released.
