Crazy idea for spells...

[trevius]

I run a custom spell file and when I ran the import script, I got this:

eqemu@muse:~/server$ perl import_spells.pl
Loading "Focus Ornate Spellcaster\'s Empowering Essence" (8447) Loading "Focus Runed Spellcaster\'s Empowering Essence" (8448) Loading "Focus Mass Elaborate Spellcaster\'s Empowering Essence" (8449) Loading "Focus Mass Ornate Spellcaster\'s Empowering Essence" (8450) Spells Loaded: 13373 of 13373
Highest ID: 19507

Do those messages mean it changed the name of the spells? Or are they anything to be concerned about?

The "Loading" info is more so you can see what the status is, although it goes so fast that you normally don't get to see pretty much any of it. I currently have it print the spell name after inserting the escape character (\) for the query to insert it into the database, mainly because it's the easiest, which is where the confusion about the name might be. Since it indicates it loaded all 13373 of the 13373 spells, it should be fine, although I'm not really sure why all of those ended up back-to-back on a single line instead of erasing each other. If there was an error loading 1 or more spells, it would output a line letting you know which one failed (1 line for each spell that failed to load).

Does that help to answer that question?

That happens with the item import script too (of which this is based off of I guess) I've never had a problem with the items it named, and as long as it claims to have loaded all the data it's fine. I would assume the same goes for the spell script.

After reading this whole thread, and being convinced this feature was "off by default", I updated to the latest SVN, did the SQL and import_spells.pl. Now my server is broken. Try to mem a spell and get a message "Unexpected error: spell id out of range" and now I cannot click on my spell book at all.

Without reverting to an earlier SVN, is there a way to disable this completely (for real) and use the spells_*.txt way?

Please don't remove the old way just because 3 people have tried it and think it works.

Ya know, the 30 second edit on this forum is bullshit, always hated it.

What I meant to say, "servers Spells are broken". The server itself appears ok.

I think you use Linux, so try a 'make clean' and then 'make'.

[John Adams]

Yes I do use linux for this server. I keep forgetting about the make clean (LE probably wants to hit me with a rotten tuna as well over this )

I'll give it a try.
