Mercenary Query Altering 'merchant_id' Question (PEQ)

[Vaulicet]

Update -- I backed up my database and tried both. The original consistently prompts the empty merchant error which persists after several reboots of the server.

I restored my backup and tried Huppy's again, and it seems using that one, I can enter a zone to find empty merchant lists, but then if I zone, camp, reboot server, zone back in, the same merchants are back to normal. After some unknown number of hours, I can experience that glitch again but perfectly subject to the same solution, so who knows. Thank you Huppy!

I have no idea, whats causing it for you. Those merc tables i dumped are from one of my working server projects, but it's using db version 9159. I'm not sure how old yours is, or if that's even relevant to your issue.

I know lots of updates happen frequently with the PEQ/Source teams, so it's hard to say. Did you look at the db_version table in your database ? Things can go smooth when tables from the same versions of db's get sourced in, but issues can happen when one of the databases are older/newer.

I built my luclin server project from an old peq database and ID's for some things have changed in some tables. (just as an example)
