Well - if I'm looking in the right place, when I launch World.exe it says EQEmulator 0.8.0. The log file references eqemu_debug_world_3384.log. Is there another way of determining the server code I'm using? I'd be happy to go back to the guide and redownloaded the entire package and recompile.

Okay - not to sound like an absolute retard, but I went to that link and see the update history (wow! I had no idea it got updated that often)...I see where you go to Downloads and get the Rev2022-Bots.zip (in my case I use bots), but what's the procedure for updating your server? Do I just unzip and overwrite files and then import SQL changes or right click my SVN folder (C:\source) and update there and then recompile? I'm going to search forums again to make sure I haven't missed something in the meantime.

Edit: I just found http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...a=ProjectEQSVN on the wiki. It looks a tad old, but in regards to updating, do you have to recompile every time a new release comes out (looks quite often), or is overwriting or updating those folders enough?

One more update - In the interests of helping myself and not bugging you further, I'm resourcing everything via SVN into a separate folder right now. It looks like it's revision 2050. Mine was from 9/19. I'll simply follow the procedure for compiling, etc from scratch.

Thanks.

You do have to re-compile every time you want an update applied to your server.

I can't stress this enough, backup before you do (this applies to every digital piece of information you have control over--not just EQEmu). If you have a working server make a backup copy somewhere of the entire server folder. That way if anything goes wrong you can always roll back. (I know backing up is the most basic idea, but I know plenty of veterans that sometimes make this mistake, me included. I can count the number of times that backups have saved me a ton of grief. Just sayin.)

Understood. I've copied the entire c:\eqemu folder somewhere else. I actually have a VMware image of the server from yesterday as well. So if you don't have to recompile every time there's an update...does simply downloading the ZIP file for the latest update, copying then contents over your existing files (world.exe, eqlaunch.exe, etc) suffice? It's the process for successfully updating to a new version that I'm cloudy on.

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.
