- - UPDATED: Approved Akka's Repack Update 8-26-2015 (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=39317)

I dropped the table and updates ran through with no errors. I guess I'm good to go.

I just want to add my thanks for this. I tried to manually building my own emu and the database updates were a nightmare to understand. I now have a nice base to play from.

UPDATED with 2-13-2015 stable:

http://wiki.eqemulator.org/l/wa/file...015-stable.rar

Follow same procedure in first post.

Various issues and fixes have been made since the 2-5-2015 build so I would recommend updating your repack's and servers with it.

Ran and tested on EZ and PEQ for a solid week with very very few issues.

List of details for this update?

@Akkadius, Hello do you have a readme.txt or can you list what changes/fixes you made for this 2-13-15 update? Thanks and cheers.

There were un-noted fixes that actually were spamming a ton of packets, I would update regardless.

Trevius: (RoF+) Setting Alt flag on characters in the Guild Management Window is now saved and functional for filtering.
Trevius: (RoF+) Guild Invites between RoF+ and previous Clients is now functional.

== 02/08/2015 ==
Kayen: Implemented npc specialability (44) COUNTER_AVOID_DAMAGE which when applied to the ATTACKING NPC will make their attacks more difficult to be avoided by riposte/dodge/parry/block.
Parama0: Negative modifer value that affects ALL avoid damage types dodge/parry/riposte/block) chance on defender. Ie (44,50 = 50 pct reduction to ALL)
Parama1: Negative modifer value that affects RIPOSTE chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to riposte chance)
Parama2: Negative modifer value that affects PARRY chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to parry chance)
Parama3: Negative modifer value that affects BLOCK chance on defender. Ie (44,1,0,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to block chance)
Parama4: Negative modifer value that affects DODGE chance on defender. e (44,1,0,0,0,0,50 = 50 pct reduction to dodge chance)
Example of usage: Player has Improved Dodge V (+50 pct dodge chance), you want to negate this bonus you would set 44,1,0,0,0,0,50 on your NPC.

Akkadius: Reduced #repop time dramatically by taking down hundreds of individual SELECT/DELETE/INSERT queries in routines and bringing it down to very few
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kSFbyTBuAk

== 02/06/2015 ==
Uleat: Updated returns for Inventory and ItemInst const iterators. (const == const)
Uleat: Replaced 'iter_inst' and 'iter_contents' typedefs with their stl definitions
Uleat: Removed 'limbo' from the 'HasItem' series of checks - including lore checks. The client excludes this range and it causes issues when performing item searches - dupe lore checks were added to account for this.
Uleat: Updated command #iteminfo to show light source information and a few other things

== 02/05/2015 ==
Trevius: Fixed Environmental Damage for RoF2.

Hi Im planning on running my own little server for myself. Are there plans to have some kind of autoupdate feature? Or if im installing from scratch, do i get the pack, then apply these updates?.. looks pretty straight forward. Thx a ton!

So yes, install repack and then simply copy these binaries into the server folder and follow the steps.

Just curious. I get to the part "Run world.exe" and that's a as far as it goes.
The CMD window shows it trying to connect to MySQL, but obviously can't
connect without the root login/pass. Is there a way to do this ?

I checked the path variable, it was in there ;C:\mysql\bin
But the world.exe just doesn't want to get out of bed.

[World Server] Loading server configuration..
[World Server] CURRENT_VERSION: 1.1.3
[World Server] Added loginserver 127.0.0.1:5998
[World Server] Connecting to MySQL ...
[World Server] Cannot continue without a database connection.

I use Win 7-64, MySQL 5.1.73 and Perl 5.12.3
But the server I am trying to update from is an old one, (few years ago).
It connects to the DB no problem, so I am stumped, hahaha

Ok, maybe we found an issue here. I double checked the .rar pack, there is no file called eqemu_update.pl included with it.

I download the UPDATED (2-13-2015) STABLE from the post you listed ?

No, the binaries from the update will automatically run eqemu_update.pl and download it if you don't have it. You need to drop the updated binaries as instructed into your server folder and this will occur on its own.
