NPC right click interaction not working + Combat skills

Thanks. I'm in the process of swiping the db from Akka's repack for windows in the hopes of having one complete solid DB to see if the problems persist.

Our of curiosity, on several threads I have seen mention of applying all the right files to source the database. I did not see anything on wiki as to how one knows what files to apply? Based on several installation wiki's it seems like it is just a matter of applying the PEQ database scripts, but now I question that.

Is there some tribal knowledge we could get into a wiki that describes how to properly source a new database? Perhaps the article could refer to a readme file that gets updated as part of ongoing development so the wiki is never hopefully out of date. Forgive me if I overlooked it, the wiki topics are kind of organic and sometimes obvious things are not obvious to new comers.

Okay, I sourced a new database from Akka's repack. The only failure I had was the banned_ips table was being queried as "Banned_IPs" and the table existed in lower_case only. I re-created that table with the case-sensitive name and it loaded up fine.

In this db, skills like DW, Dodge, and Double Attack were working after giving the character an initial point. This makes me wonder if something I changed in rule_values broke them because I had previously set the Character:SkillUpModifier to 1500. (*edit turned out this had no effect, after increasing it those skills still work fine)

Mercenaries do not work after enabling them.
Right clicking a guildmaster still crashes the client.

Nothing is showing up in the logs for this event.

Make sure the Mercenary merchants are set to class 71.

I get mercenary purchase window after making this change but I still can't purchase mercenaries. Haven't checked to see if I have the crash issue. Will report back later.
