Differences between cavedude DB and PEQ DB?

Aye what FNW said, they don't get alot of help over there. That makes things very, very slow. There are packet collectors and such you can use to help. Or simply using their database and running around and finding things.. even simple things, like such and such has the wrong faction. The more help they have (even if it is just feedback) the faster they will move along.

I'd love to say that I help over there but honestly I don't. Then again I don't even really run a server or play eqlive, I just like to fiddle with things lol.

But the rest of it is what it is. Want expansions faster, then help them get it out.

I am sure that community could help to PEQ, if they release 1 snapshot of his DB each month, then ppl can to see that the bugs that they have posted on PEQ forums have been fixed and they continue working on improve PEQ-DB, but PEQ makes 1 release each 4-6 months, it give a feeling of project is neglect. I know that u are doing very nice DB's, but i think that u policy of releases is wrong.

For example, u could give a release each month with ONLY 4-5 zones more done, then ppl begin to check that zones and could post bugs, fix, etc. I am sure that u could revive project doing it.

PEQ's database is better overall. They are both accurate in that fact that the base spawns were created from Live logs. However, PEQ spent a lot more time perfecting the spawns, factions, and loot where as I just populated all the zones I could and corrected any blarring errors that I found along the way. I actually never intending on releasing my database. My original intend was that I'd create a database from scratch as a learning tool. I never really thought people would like it as much as they do. So, coming from the horse's mouth:

If you want a more Live-like gaming experience, go with PEQ.

If you want to play on Luclin and some PoP zones, go with mine.

As for the time between releases... you're going to find that most of the sub-projects within EQEmu suffer from that. The simple fact is there aren't many of us working on things and the few there are are all just doing what we can to help. Plus, I am pretty certain that most of the devels/world builders are older so we have wives, kids, jobs, and the like to worry about. Just be patient and I assure you the wait is always well worth it in this community.

just a question, is there a way to combine cavedudes and PEQ database'es into one, but so that cavedudes doesn't overwrite the already present mob info on PEQ database, or will it just add a ton of duplicates?

Sure they can be combined, but I'm not going to. It would take too much time I don't have.
