Take a peek at the DB. It's truly empty, none of the tables have any info. IE - Items, etc. Best to start with the ep2 db, merge the changes and go ahead and start adding items since ep2.
Correct me if I'm wrong? I didn't spend more then a hour or so looking at the DB.
I'm going to put in real work and get the db sorted.. But I'm new to the game/files so I'll need a couple of days to sort myself out.
Question, you guys have parsing tools created to grab item info etc? I haven't seen a itemdb site yet that contained the item id's so I guess they'd need to be reversed from the clientside (again, I haven't gotten into this really yet, only spent a couple of days with the ep2/ep3 upgrade files)?
Anyhow. +1 filter for sharing the update. -1 artic for the massive amounts of posts that do nothing but simply make fun of newbies, discourage or otherwise just being a jerk. For such a smart guy, you seem to let the lamest things get under your skin. Should be working together to further the cause here, right? Who cares who released the files, it won't get you laid.
Not sharing the DB I can totally understand however... That's a lot of work and I don't look forward to doing it. But I also don't have a problem releasing it if it betters us all and others are doing what they can. We are all here ultimately for the same reason, to play the game our way with our friends. Right? That's how it starts anyhow...
My two cents - I've seen this kind of activity, files and people in many other projects and the only thing I can say for sure is that it can improve and change. Filter has started the ball running and yes there are tons of leechers - but not everyone is. You release something, expect leechers that don't have the technical know-how to contribute something back or just don't care. But also expect that people that do care and have technical understanding will also get files and will give something back.
Nobody shares, nobody gets. Nothing happens. You guys know the drill. It just takes *one* person like Artic or Filter to open up a entire project and get things rolling.
Matt/eg.
PS - Artic, I really hope that what I've said just makes you think. Not hate. I've read all the threads here and there's a trend to your posts that make it impossible to get anywhere. Putting people down, bragging it up about what you got yet refuse to share, etc. All wastes of time - no idea why you troll just to post the things you do but I hope you can have a change of heart.
I just ask that you get over the nubness of most of us and allow us to ask questions without getting flamed, before you know it there will be 50 people here that have skills and can contribute! I know there are plenty of stupid questions because I have them to, I'm lucky enough to solve most things myself tho.. Try and have some patience with us new people.
