googlecode.com retired - where are eqemu-maps now?

dikafu · #1 06-14-2016, 07:39 PM

This guide instructs:

Code:

svn co http://eqemu-maps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ maps

But googlecode.com is no more. Was the project migrated?

There are options in eqemu_update.pl, available if you manually run it, that you can download maps, quests, etc...

i'll go update my debian guide. And wow, it seems to get a lot of usage. Lol

There are a ton of old guides. Each seems to have at least one useful piece of information, but most are sooo outdated now.

Is there an official, up-to-date guide to building from scratch?

starblight · #6 06-14-2016, 10:44 PM

one I used you can find here.
I do not know if it is up to date but I used it about 5 months ago and it got me working with minor tweaks to the instructions.

And I threw this together at one point, I think it's still accurate for windows install. It assumes you know what're doing. http://wiki.eqemulator.org/p?Condens...l_Instructions

linux is same commands basically, just more stuff like apt-get install cmake git etc and if you know cli it's pretty easy.

I'm curious about the files peqbeta & phpeditor. Are they only available via google drive?

For peqbeta, I see that eqemu_update.pl allows the download of a weekly snapshot of peq_beta.zip. Is that the same thing?

For phpeditor, is this optional?

(ps, your wiki page says to download peqeditor - a typo).

Dikafu, VERY few things use anything besides github now.

Do a little looking around out there (github.com/projectEQ - github.com/eqemu) and you'll find the repos.

This is really step #1 to setting up and maintaining a server - knowing where the code is. Don't rely on guides. Read the forums and get a bead on how/where/why/etc.

Curious, where do you see the option to download the weekly snapshot of peq_beta.zip when you run eqemu_update.pl? I seem to be missing this option.

N0ctrnl · #11 06-15-2016, 07:55 AM

Pretty sure that's just for the AAs. PEQ site has their database releases, or most of 'em.

That looks like a command line argument trigger and not an actual menu option..my menu doesn't show it either (i.e., install script call)

Hey, since we are talking about the weekly peq database.

What is required to update an existing database to the new one. Do we source in the Drop_System and then just source in the peq_beta?

I assume this won't affect login server accounts, player accounts, bots, etc?

One more question. Say I have 2 unique NPC's in the Guild Lobby. Created to hand out starting gear. Whats the best way to preserve them after updating the database?

You're getting pretty far afield here. Should probably consider posting a new thread...
