3.3 to 3.4 items converter
 

I never did get around to programing up any error checking in this. Disclamer: This worker fine for me, and should not cause any problems for anyone, but use at your own risk.

That said, go to your mysql bin dor and type
place 33to34items.vbs in you mysql\bin dir and double click on it. There is no window open while it is working, if you want to verify it is working then look for wscript in the task list.
In a minute or so depending on your items table size, it will pop up a little window saying the conversion is done. Type
Any existing item numbers in your items table when you run the above command will NOT be overwritten. So if your converting your midified items, then you will want to do
on your eq34 db before loading your converted items, then afterwards load the items from the eqemu3.4 download.

*fixed* see below

This includes the file above, but automates copying of data from your eq33 DB to eq34

1) copy the EQEmu 3.4 db.sql file into your mysql\bin dir
2) unzip the contents of this file to your mysql\bin dir
3) run copy_eq33_data_to_34.bat

When the batch file pauses, be sure you wait for the VBScript window to pop up saying the item conversion is done.

This also includes some books. <-- only new stuff, All the rest is from you eq33 DB and the 3.4 sql file

Opps almost forgot, I added the messages table to the DB also.


*fixed* see below

Item list
 

I am new to eqemu and was wondering where I can get a item database to convert :) as mine is a new install It is rather...empty.

Looking for as complete a database of items and mobs as posssible.

No one has released a DB that they have checked out for use with 3.4 yet Wait a few days and one will be out there.


It won't be long

2. As a result everything I summoned (which came back with a reasonable looking number) was a container, not a real item... So, something somewhere was very confused. I did delete all from items before I put it back before anyone asks.

The script has almost zero error checking. My best guess is that there were spaces or other extra stuff in your items.sql file. If you can't figure it out, host or re-mail your old eq33 items somewhere and I'll take a look.

Did you run just the script or did you use the files from my second post to convert the whole DB?

Just ran the script - following the instructions from the first post. (As my mysql stuff is actually on linux)

The items from 33 I got from the db.sql I originally had when i tried to run 331, so it was just a straight download of the zip file. If anyone can post a working 34 one I could use I'd love em to peices

(Will try and find somewhere to post a 33 copy of my items to show you, it looks like mumble to me, its got stuff about Intel in it!)

Perhaps a LFCR problem... From your search results I think just the first 20 lines of the sql file ziped up and e-mailed to me will do for debugging.

Couldnt find your Email addy so, posted here.. Sorry. Did top 3 lines of input and out put :)

I had the exact same problem was able to summon items, some of them at least but all were containers with wt reduction > 100% Was able to summon cloth items as well as a fungi however many items had an id of 0, 1 or 2. I had to do it somewhat different than normal as well. I used the vb script on the database that came with 3.3.1 and got the sql file that just had items in it. I couldn't do the second step which I assumed combined the two so I deleted the item section from db.sql and put in the data from the 34 compatable item sql file. Is the second zip the same thing just automated? or is it a second step that you need to do?

Spellcaster, both those samples seem to be the 3.4 compatable data. The Pre one looks like what came with 3.4 and the post looks like converted 3.3 data. But both had CRLF's in the data. Did the program you used to get just the 3 items add hard return word wrap to the file? Other than that both examples look ok.

Well I fixed most of the problem with my converter. It still has problems with containers. As far as I can tell the location of container information is wrong in eq_packet_structs.h it should start at 268 not 272 In otherwords it looks like they added bytes to different sections of the packet for containers.

If anyone has more information on this please send me a PM.

33 to 34 DB converter take 2
 

Well here ya go, this seems to work for all but containers. Luckly there are only about 5 or 6 containers in the old eq33 items DB that aren't in the HQ data or in what lyenu has collected (3.4 format) so far.

* Fixed the error when converting all but containers.
* Reordered item loading so that converted items are only used if the item number isn't already in the 3.4 released data.
* Included new Items Lyenu has collected
* included list of unused item numbers
* included Ariak's items from her release 9
* included an list of items with their number

autoconvertdb_33to34-2.zip

If you just want the item conversion, just run the script as mentioned in the first post here.

Lurker- the idea for the script is great but it skrews my DB every time, i tryed it with the batch file and the script, neither worked X( If u could post the lyneu and ariak item data that is used in the converter in 0.3.4 format it may save some headaches among others with the same problems. Thx again and keep up the good work
