NCDB development

[3shirtlessmen]

Does the developers of NCDB have a website? Trying to keep everything up to date around here.

Reason I ask is that I see revisions flying everywhere and I don't want to just download them because of a higher number.. I want to research these things myself.

Thanks!

ncdb.mmoforge.org and the only way to be up to date with the revs is svn

[Kameleon20]

1. Download RapidSVN (search for yourself)
2. Make a folder where you want the updates to be downloaded.
3. Install and run RapidSVN.
4. In RapidSVN go to 'Repository' and click 'Checkout', or just simply press Ctrl-O
5. By url typ: http://projects.emupedia.com/svn/ncdb
6. Destination directory has to be the folder where you want to download the updates.
7. Use latest has to be checked on by revion
8. By Peg Revision there has to be 'not specified' checked on.
9. (Optional) check add to bookmarks.
10. Now only press ok
11. It'll ask for a username and password. username is anonymous and the password isn't nessesary.

Now you will get their latest revision, with the most recent tool.bat

Good Luck lads!!!

Thanks so much!

So do I have to compile this, then replace my current DB (character, world) or is there an "update" function?

[Kameleon20]

no it will replace all the tables in world (not the character).

[nafeasonto]

Is there a website for an updated Character database or no?

[Kameleon20]

No. Not nessesary. If there is an update for the character database it'll be included with the new Ascent revision in the sql folder :)

[nafeasonto]

When I foloow the instructions for the chckout thing it's asking me for a username and password?

[Kameleon20]

username: anonymous
and leave the password blanc

(also edited my guide)

[nafeasonto]

Thank you.

[Kameleon20]

no problem and good luck

[nafeasonto]

I just updated my database and the Ascent revision and my logonserver.exe is stuck on pre-caching accounts.

[Kameleon20]

run the update in the sql folder, in the character folder, named: 2725_character_account_tables.sql

should do the trick ;)

[nafeasonto]

I did that it is still frozen in that place.

[Kameleon20]

and what ascent revision are you using?

[nafeasonto]

For some reason when I run that update, it's not effecting the SQL database at all.

[nafeasonto]

I look in the MYsql code and it's suppost to remove certain Tables, and it's not.

[Kameleon20]

after you downloaded it, go to the folder where you downloaded it to with your explorer
edit tool.bat
run tool.bat

(omg)

[nafeasonto]

OMG and i have this wholetime been updating the databses manually.

[Kameleon20]

:O omg you're kiddin'!
that's so dmned much work! LOL!!!

[nafeasonto]

How do i prevent it from overwiring my man made items and npcs?? it keeps erasing

[Kameleon20]

make a seperate sql file of these items and npc's and import them after updating your world database import them.

I would pefer Tortoise SVN over RapidSVN. It doesn't really matter though.

[nafeasonto]

Now should I execute query import them, or restore from SQL dump import them?

[Kameleon20]

execute query (i am allways do it that way) :)
