Here's some LoY work for PEQ

[mplostcause]

iam still not too good at the whole database workings =P will this work with the cavedudes database? and if not do most people recommend the peq database over it?

[fathernitwit]

unfortunately, this work will not likely be included in the official PEQ database because it would prevent PEQ from building the zones properly when we get to them. The zones were built with and old version of EQBuilder and none of the other PEQ tools were run on them, and in our oppinion theres enough benefits from these tools to wait. There has been some work to use cavedude's loot and factions as another input source to our tools, but theres no garuntees this will get done.

This is an extract taken from Cavedude's database - Cavedude has a lot of impressive work done in a lot more zones, but he quit working on it. PEQ's work is done mostly up to Kunark era, and is more complete to that point - but there has been no updates. Neither one of them are posting updates to their database: regardless which one you choose, if you want to see more work or more zones, you have to figure out how to do it yourself.
What you're probably wondering, is what I was wondering when I first started with the emulator: "Which one will be more playable if I made my own server"? The answer is, "none". You can play a little with either of the database, but still theres enough "loose ends" in them as to where they won't be much fun. This is a gigantic project, with many details, and is still young.
If you want to mount a server of your own, you are better off mounting the PEQ database as it is more "playable", and there's a "glimmer of hope" they might update it one day. In my case, when I tried Cavedudes'. I found my self working in the Pre-Kunark zones alot, so i went "PEQ" , which gave me a better start. And now that I'm starting to see how it all works, it's not that hard extracting some data from Cavedudes and inserting into PEQ, thus bringing the best of two worlds together.
The bottom line is, if you want to make your own server, you have to be ready to learn, and do A LOT of work into making some playable zones. You have to comb the Waki's , FAQ's and these forums for answers to your questions. Don't embarrass yourself by posting questions that have answers already posted here many times over.
If you don't want to do all of this and just want to play, there's already some real nice working servers up, with some very nice "individual" work done to them, and are very playable.

I guess "quit" was an over-statement , sorry about that. I thought I saw a post somewhere where you said you wouldn't be updating your database anymore, that's what i meant. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

[cavedude]

No, I plan on updating it again.

Thats great news!

This is an update to Gunthak in LoY, should be almost complete with all my additions - here's some thoughts on this;
-You should remove the old Gunthak CSV I posted earlier from the tables, as I changed grids, spawns and other stuff.
-It seems impossible for me to extract loot related tables from a specific zone, as there is nothing of an id attached to them. If anyone can think of a way for me to get all loot-related tables from Gunthark or any other zone, please tell me - that would make the zone "play ready" with little work to do .

GeorgeS!! Again, thank you for the SQL-Extractor program - I hope you try this and tell me if it all worked, If you have any ideas on how to extract loot-related tables, please tell me.
