The custom content I have, thankfully, put into sql file. I'm confident I can get that back in. Simple inserts and the like.
To elaborate though, I am moving servers completely. From a workstation to a real server. So I'm sort of doing a "new server" and then a restore. I'm currently sourcing the full .gz file. I'll then source the load_player. I thought it would be easier to create a fresh start and then bring data over instead of upgrading my existing old revision.
My only confusion is how to get the character data in. I assume when you say you make constant changes to it that is in the column that is an actual file? When I back that up and source it in it appears to work. The characters are there and do seem to tie to the right tables but not completely. Gear is there but factions are messed up. I'm not sure if this is the same issue or an entirely different one. On my last attempt most of the monsters were indifferent and/or ally that should be KoS.
Can I directly go from my release (I want to say revision 222 honestly) to the newest or, at least just in the instance of characters, is it better to have my players recreate and then fix them? Or am I really just making this a whole lot more complex than it is (I tend to do that)?
