Crescent Reach - not using it?

I assume you are referring to this zip file that you mention in you earlier post:
EQEmu-Rev2022-Bots.zip
I have actually never done it that way, so personally I am not sure if that works. Probably does. Anyone?

My process for applying updates:
1) Backup.
2) Right click C:\EQEmu\EQEmuSource folder and select "SVN Update" and get the latest stuff (I have obviously installed Tortoise SVN, for anyone scratching their head).
3) Open MS Visual C++ 2008 Express and recompile as outlined in this thread: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32293 (I do have some custom C++ code that I want included in the update, that's why I re-compile from "scratch" so to speak.)
4) For me I go here: C:\EQEmu\EQEmuSource\trunk\EQEmuServer\Build and copy the .exe files, and the .dll file to my main server folder (this is also outlined in the above linked guide).

In fact, I need to do this again soon, so I'll complete the process and edit this post if I remember something else.

Thanks much - greatly appreciated. Yah I went ahead and did exactly what you just outlined while I was waiting for reply. I resourced (into a different folder out of sheer paranoia) using Tortoise SVN and then recompiled. I'll go ahead and copy the EXEs and DLL into the EQEMU folder and see how things go. I just wasnt sure if there was some other procedure for updating. You have sparked my curiosity into modifying the source code itself. Mind if i ask what types of customizations you have done in yours?



EDIT: Quick update - excellent news! By updating the server code and now having the latest PEQ database revisions I can now verify that Crescent Reach is no longer an option as a character starting city in the SOD client, with the exception of Drakkin. Thank you all for your input and assistance.

Good, glad you got it working.

I can go over some stuff I did in the C++ code (nothing fancy) but not now. It may take a few days, but I'll get to it this week (I hope ).

Ok, Baruuk here's something I am doing:

File Path: C:\EQEmu\EQEmuSource\trunk\EQEmuServer\zone\exp.cp p

Description: Changed the way exp is calculated

else if (check_level < 62) //added additional steep mod (basically double exp required each new level) revloc02-24Aug2011
	mod = 5.56;
else if (check_level < 63)
	mod = 8.33;
else if (check_level < 64)
	mod = 12.5;
else if (check_level < 65)
	mod = 18.75;
else if (check_level < 66)
	mod = 28.12;
else if (check_level < 67)
	mod = 54.6;
else if (check_level < 68)
	mod = 81.9;
else if (check_level < 69)
	mod = 122.85;
else if (check_level < 70)
	mod = 184.28;
else if (check_level < 71)
	mod = 276.41;
else if (check_level < 72)
	mod = 560;
else if (check_level < 73)
	mod = 840;
else if (check_level < 74)
	mod = 1260;
else if (check_level < 75)
	mod = 1890;
else
	//mod = 3.1;
	mod = 2835;

//float base = (check_levelm1)*(check_levelm1)*(check_levelm1);
float base = pow (check_levelm1, 2.74); //changed exponent revloc02-24Aug2011

//mod *= 1000;
mod *= 10; //changed mod from 1000 to 10 revloc02-29Aug2011

Something else I did is already posted here: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32664
