Unhappy Restoring custum content after server update..
I'm sorry if I ask something trival, but I can't seem to find information about this and I'm stuck with this..

I have a custom server what I would like to keep up to date with newer eqemu revs. I would like to also keep my peq up to date with the newest peq revs.

How to do these updates without wiping all the custom content of my server?

Thanks in advance!

If I understand this correctly your using TortoiseSVN to update right? If you made NPC's and quests you like to save just right click on the appropriate quest/npc in the directories such as /eqemu/quest/zonenamehere/questcharname and chose the TortoisSVN and ADD TO IGNORE LIST. When you update the files next time it will ignore any updates on this item.

If it is items such as new sword etc you need to save the SQL info and such.

thaks for the quick reply. sorry if I wasn't clear. my question was regarding the db entries. how can I save all the custom db information (npcs, items, zone information, etc) to a sql file? doing so I could just re-source custom content after peq update right? or any other way to stay up to date with peq and still keep my (always changing) custom content?

My brother wrote a tool to do this. It works great for our custom server because we like to cripple things like Death Touch, since it is usually just the two of us playing.

Here's the post...

The tool is free. Enjoy

As far as saving and resourcing custom content, my SQL skills are not up to explaining that. We have custom merchants that we have scripts to recreate. Hopefully someone has better instructions for that.

thanks for the tool, seems great to run scripts. the problem is, I'm missing the knowledge to make those scripts, and this is why I'm hoping for help from an expert server op, how they do save customization, and how they restore it after a eqemu/peq update.

please, anyone?
