EQEmu 0.6.1DR1 extra tools and restrictions questions...

[tancor]

Hi all,

I just got my server up lastnight/this morning and it appears to be working - but I want to make some changes to my server before I play in it.

For one thing - since I am on a satellite connection at home (iew), I can only play it privately, maybe with myself and a few friends on my local network - no big deal, but to make it more enjoyable to me, I would like to create a "fake" bazaar, by populating the bazaar zone with extra merchants that would sell some of the more exotic equipment at standard outrageous prices.

I've found some tutorials on here about creating merchants and such, but several are for older versions of EQEmu and use some older tools - so my first question is - what tools are compatible with 6.1 to make my life editing the DB easier?

Next question is, aside from my "GM" character to use to populate special things and such, I don't want myself (or my friends whom are aware of eqemu commands) to be able to use some of the commands like #zone, but I am not sure how to disable them. According to the webpage, the #zone, and a variety of other commands that a standard player shouldn't be able to use are available if they are rank 0+ - is there a way of changing the ability to use these commands without having to recompile the server? I ask as I am using a pre-compiled version and I really don't want to recompile if I don't have to...
