Does anyone have some good references to guides they have learned from? Yes, there are alot of resources on this site, but alot of it is jumbled or outdated... I know some of you have walked this path before and could possibly point me in the right direction.
I am trying to learn all the world building tools at the moment, taking them as they come. At the moment mysql is getting alot of my attention, I am getting familiar with it, actually able to make some sense of it without staring at it blankly. Though I can understand some of it, I am lost on why some characters are used, like ( at the end of a line, or what "smallint(11)", "tinyint(08 )" or just "int" all mean. Do you actually gain an understanding of those things, or are they just lines you learn to enter because thats the way it is?
Anyway, any reference or learning material for the tools would be extremely helpful, mysql, compiling, 3rd party tools... anything you got, please throw it my way.
I know many of you started not knowing any of this as well, and I see those same people now doing excellent, so please, throw me a bone
I have thus far managed to get down the basics, undestanding what the database, source, and config is for... I have learned the basics of sql and even edited a few things to the server that I finally got up and running.
Right now my points of interest and intent is to learn to create npcs the way I want them, create quests, set my server to pvp, compile my server to my liking with edited zone lines and disable some of the zones. Its alot of work but its my new project, I'll be spending several hours a day working on it till I get it right
Thanks in advance for whatever you offer.
P.S. If this is something I am capable of learning, I have intention of hosting on a dedicated server, so this will eventually get back to the emu comnunity.
Learning... (any advice?)
