NPCs loaded - using old database format ?

[Zafar]

This is odd, ever since 0.4.1-DR2 and 0.4.1-DR3 I have noticed this from time to time, but it seems more frequently. I just re-did my database a minute ago but made backup on the side and the new database is doing the same thing! Aside of the database backup, this is what I did:


I got the latest database addon, and the database that comes with the 0.4.1-DR3 release and did the following steps:

1. * I added one line in the resource.sql that issues: source db.sql; then follow through with the final steps as it normally would.
   * I made sure that I had the database that came with EQEmu 0.4.1-DR3 in the same directory as all other SQL files from the database addon.
   * I sourced them as I would any other, and as recommended by the EQEmu development team, and all sources perfectly fine with maybe 2 errors or 3 errors from duplicates; which I am not worried about at this time.
   * I load up the server as usual, and all is fine. However though, further down during the loadup, after some things have already been loaded it says:

NPCs loaded - using old database format

I would like to know if this is coming from the *DR* release, since there are going ot be a lot of new things -- that there are, maybe two different database formats being used? I don't know how else to say it as I am extremely tired, annoyed at other things, and a very horrible and terrible day. Any help would be appreciated, take care and hope your day was much better.


A clearer note:

I have all these files, and modified the resource.sql file to show the below:

source db.sql;
delete from items;
source items.sql;
delete from books;
source books.sql;
delete from doors;
source doors.sql;
source spawns.sql;

Then I do:

mysqladmin drop eq -p(password)
mysqladmin create eq -p(password)
mysql -p(password)
use eq
source resource.sql

And to make note of things, this is all under Linux Mandrake 8.2 with both GCC 2.95 and 3.X installed. (The server was also compiled under 2.95 because 3.X seems to have a few issues from time to time on my server. I know I do need an update, sigh.
