Newer or Older maps?

Is there any benefit to using the newer maps from the FTP site (Which I couldnt get to work or connect) or using the ones pulled from the SVN?

Just curious.

Thanks.

The newer maps are smaller, as far as other stuff, I don't keep up with maps myself, so I don't know if there are any other added benefits.

Use the ones in the eqemu_update.pl script. They are the v2 maps which are much smaller and more optimized.

Perl Version is 5.12.3

My kind of girl.

Stupid question I know. But how do i run the update again? When i start server it says Up to date or something....

How do i get to that select screen again where i can choose maps?

^^^^^^^ [Edit Figured this part out]

also..
Does the update run the Sqls required that it downloads to the db_update folder itself?
Or do i need to manually run them once they appear in there?

Sorry im a little confused.

Unsure how to start it when it recognizes everything as up-to-date.

Not always. You may need to manually run some of the sqls. I had to run a few a while back. If you are unsure which sqls were applied you could run each one but, be careful not to run sqls which are only intended to be run once.

I think I had a bit of an issue with this due to DUPLICATE KEY, column not recognized errors, etc. IIRC, I had to get tables from before any updates were applied to make it work.

Very simply run eqemu_update.pl in the server folder

All figured out here. Thanks guys.
