No biggie.. I wasn't really complaining, just stating the time differences.

The biggest drawback is that the new method processes line by line rather than a complete table at at time.

I will try 1091a later and see how long it takes for me to source.

AMD FX-60
2 gigs ram
WinXP

...good to see 1091a is sourcing better.

[Annihilator]

Yep. Source time back down to a 2.5 minutes on a P4 3GHz with a gig of memory. Much improved.

Not sure in windows but you can just for loop it to import the db's in linux with some thing simple like:

for file in *.*; do mysql peq < $file; done

This would also mean that every file in the folder was one you wanted in the db.

I recommend everybody grab the newest commands.sql from CVS. In contains ALL EQEmu commands, their default access values, and a handy new description field with their descriptions.

CD,
I was just wondering if you could point me in the right direction for a change log for the database? Sorry if i missed it somewhere
Thanks

Is as good as we'll get. It's a good overview of the changes, but if every change was documented, half of my time would be spent writing that up

I got winCVS and put in the information give and It says it can't find the specified file. Below is what I put in and I am at a loss as to what is going wrong.

under Module Name: peq_db

and under CVSROOT: :pserver:anonymous@peq.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/peq


The exact error message I get is:

Unable to initialize the CVS process: The system cannot find the file specified. The CVS used is : cvs.exe

did the files change?

Seeing that the bots are becoming more popular and polished, I added two files to the CVS, bot_npcs.bat and bot_npcs.sh.

They simply will dump your current NPC bots to bot_npcs.sql, so that they can be sourced back in after you do a DB update.

Windows users:

1. Open bot.npcs.bat with notepad or similar and change peq to the name of your database.
2. Then, run the .bat file. It will create a new file called bot_npcs.sql in the same directory.
3. Update your database as normal.
4. Source in bot_npcs.sql

That's it!

Linux users do the same except using bot_npcs.sh. Make sure it's marked executable, and you run it as ./bot_npcs.sh

Of course, you will need to repeat this every time you update your database, or your bot NPCs will be lost.

The next version of the installer (which will offer a db update feature) will do this automatically.

The linux script worked great, except I had to add a -p to the commands in order for it to prompt me for a password.

When sourcing the bot's back into the DB will they overwrite any new NPC additions to the peq DB? I noticed that the last entry before my bots start is 2700011 A_warm, my bots start at 2700012 and go to 2700033 currently, which is the last npc in the DB.

[cavedude]

I am pretty sure the bots will just tack themselves on the end of the NPC IDs. That being said, PEQ will never use IDs that high. In fact, I don't know why those 136 NPCs are there in the first place. The highest ID we should be using is 999,999. No zone at this point has an ID in the thousands, and we derive our NPC IDs by zoneidnumber. So no, those IDs are well into the reserved range and won't be used by us, more than likely ever.

[cubber]

Great thanks for the info.

This might be a dumb question. When i downloaded the cvs, i noticed 32 other sql files in the same directory besides the ones mentioned. Do i need to source them? It seams like a time consuming task.
