Not a problem, I already wrote a script that binds new players to tutorialb when they first enter at level 1. I also added your popup to the script as well, for people running that code.

Is there a way to make start tutorial button point to tutoriala rather than tutorialb? I am utilizing the jail break/mines of gloomingdeep(a) map as a sort of pre tutorial but want players to be able to choose between tuta and their home city at char. creation if possible. Anyone know how this could be accomplished?

This is the line I found in the above patch link that leads me to believe if it is possible to change where the button points new characters to:

I assume that is part of the source (since I have seen .cpp files in there before), so what would need to happen in order for me to change the highlighted text to tutoriala and 188, respectively?

Go to:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

and download Revision201.zip.

Then add a row to your rule_values table, rule_name=World:TutorialZoneID, rule_value=188 and restart your server using the executables from Reivision201.zip.

Remember to source in any files from the SQL folder with prefix numbers higher than the Revision you are currently running.
