I was on for a bit and went thru a number of zones even bound myself in butcher I think.

OK...Thanks. I guess I wont let my server go down for so long again! Its gonna take awhile to get players to play again I guess.
BTW. I noticed you are using Cavedudes DataBase. Im using it too. I just used the Serverpack2 after alot of experimentation with PEQ DB/CavedudesDB/Combination of both! I kept getting zone crashes when using zoneperl.exe but when I tryed SP2 it seems somehow they created a perl version of zone.exe or used zoneperl.exe and fixed it from crashing and renamed it to zone.exe
Anyway, that was great at the time but now I have a problem. You see the SP2 DataBase and zone.exe is not compatible with PEQ and now I may want to upgrade my version wich means Im going to have to wait for SP3 or(And get this!)convert my DB to be compatible with PEQ. Furthermore, I actually have 2 databases. One is nonlegit. The other is semilegit. What I want to do is convert the semilegit DB to PEQvelious DB.

Oh..And this is just smalltalk..Im just saying it cause its a new problem for me as I now have a playerbase I want to keep so I just cant use a complete new DB anymore.

Anyway..So my goal to at least swap most everything except players and accounts in my semilegit DB so that I can upgrade or at least have PEQvelious spawns. Nonlegit will not be touched.

So the moral of the story is..A server ops work is never done.
