Updated Solo Server Package

[John C]

Yep. You want to select the PEQ database (which stands for Project EQ). See below.



You can actually see all the EQ related tables. And djeryv is right, you can always restore your database if you mess something up but I would recommend against repeatedly trying to run a failing script.

Let's use an example to illustrate the point. Assume that a script has 4 lines. The first line reduces all monster HPs by 25%. The second line inserts a new NPC. The third line adds an item - and has an error that causes it to fail.

You run the script the first time. Hit points are reduced to 75% of the original value. The NPC is added. And then you get an error on line 3. So you run it again, and the HPs are reduced by another 25%. They are now 56% of the original value instead of 75% as intended, and a second NPC is added, before you hit the same error again.

To further add onto this, for anyone pursing using custom content some of us provide, I would suggest get a server up and running first. If you can login, make a character, and run around...great. Then shut down the emulator and backup the database. Then run the custom stuff you downloaded and make sure it works fine. If not, you can just wipe the database and restore your backup and try again...or throw out the custom content entirely.

Not sure if you can help me, but if I wanted to have the old wolf and skeleton models on my server how would I go about doing that?

I am new to having my own EQ server for myself and maybe family, so I don't have a clue how to do this.

That is beyond the scope of this particular thread, so you may want to start a new one elsewhere.

I do know, however, you will probably end up copying files from a Titanium install, but someone else may be better to help you in more detail.

Okay, Thank you and sorry about that!

I posted in here because I am going to use your solo server settings and figured it would be okay to ask.

It is good to start a new topic on this because one day...someone else will search for a question like you have and will hopefully find an answer easier.

Honestly, I would have just outright answered your question if I knew what to do. I just don't know which files you will need to copy and/or edit.

No worries! I did start another topic and have been searching for an answer on google. So far all I have been able to find is how to change it client side, but not server side.

Other than that I was able to get your solo server package up and running.
