Hi,

I've been looking at old posts and proceedures how to make a DB with spawns, lootcodes, zonepoints, merchantloot and the standard stuff.

However, it has come to my attention that there really isn't any good guidelines on how to do this in the best possible way. There should be a seperate FAQ/README for this Worldbuilding. I mean, nearly every newbie asks this question...

- Like which DBs to source before other DBs.
- Which DBs are compatible and those that are not.

Maybe someone could make an uptodate FAQ/DOX which provides guidelines and a download section for those DBs needed. How to backup DBs before modifying. Just essential commands.
I.e. I cant even make a DB according to the README file. I have to use "create database eq;" in mysql.exe to make that DB.

I just recently trashed my DB when trying to source worlddata 1.0. into my 0.4.0 DB with the 0.3 addons. Monsterloot codes doesnt seem to be implemented in the addons or standard db, but i think it is in worlddata.

Anyone that has good knowledge to which DBs, download links, and how to source in which order should right a few guidelines about this. It is needeth.
