EQEmulator Forums - HOW TO: Setup the EqEmu 5.7DR4 databases (06/14/04)

After spending hours trying to compile all the necessary items to build a proper database, I documented it and decided to post what I have compiled so far.

The following will create the EqEmu database in its most complete form as of 06/14/04, running on EqEmu 5.7DR4 - 6-14-04 release.

The following files are needed:
1. MW_057DR2_alpha_1.sql
2. itemtablechanges.sql
3. MW_ZONEPATCH.sql
4. loot_update.sql
5. npc_types_update.sql
6. newFactionList.sql
7. add_factions.sql
8. npc_faction_update.sql

I recommend copying and pasting the following code into a file that you can call for example createdb.sql. You can then source createdb.sql and it will run the entire code, which takes about 4-6 hours. Good idea to do it overnight. There may be some errors caused by the govtcheese faction updates, but for the rest of the sql should run smoothly.

I recommend using the following line to actually run the sql:

Code:

mysql -f -s --no-beep --tee=mysqlout.txt

SOURCE createdb.sql;

createdb.sql should be a text file with the following copied and pasted:

Code:

CREATE DATABASE eqdb;

USE eqdb;

SOURCE MW_057DR2_alpha_1.sql;

SOURCE itemtablechanges.sql;

SOURCE MW_ZONEPATCH.sql;

SOURCE loot_update.sql;

SOURCE npc_types_update.sql;

UPDATE loottable_entries SET probability = '##';

SOURCE newFactionList.sql;

SOURCE add_factions.sql;

SOURCE npc_faction_update.sql;

ALTER TABLE `npc_types` ADD `AC` smallint(5) not null default 0

UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='PersistentZoneState';

UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='MerchantsKeepItems';

UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='holdzones';

I created the following thread to add some customization and difficulty to the EqEmu. Some if is actually more in-line with Eq-Live.
