FYI about EQEmu v0.2.7 Release
Well, we thought we would give you guys a heads up on the next release. When we release 0.2.7, the database will be new for 3 tables (atleast, maybe more).
We are adding a GM Speed "hack" into the source so status 100+ can #gmspeed 1-5 and get to run superfast without spells (but you would need to zone). Doing this is causing us to change the account table to add a column. With this, we can do a simple ALTER TABLE to upgrade it for later (part of the upgrade.sql we will have).
We are also changing the players_ table up a little. We will be adding an x/y/z & zonename column that are where the player will be in the world. This allows people to change the zone and/or loc of a stuck character easily.
Finally, we are adding a few columns to NPC_Types which will let everyone configure mobs more (what spells they can cast, can they summon, flurry, enrage, etc). Hopefully these will be changes everyone will love, but it means old databases will be incompatiable with these features and newer eqemu versions.
Let us know how you feel about these types of changes.
