That's because my DB isn't an ep3 db. Nor did I ever say it was.
It's merely an ep2 db WITH ep3 items.

It SOUNDS like it was Ep3. You never stated it was, nor did you state it wasn't. Doesn't really matter though. S:Originally Posted by [AbysmalX]
Maybe $$ its a pointer to a variable.Can someone who knows tell me how the $ and the $$ in .cfg work.
Well, i think i found a way to connect to db and im testing another db i found which looks like ep3. I hope ill have a running ep3 server soon.
Yup. I did XDWhat this includes
-ep2 Database with ep3 items/mobs
-Episode 3 files & quests
-Server manager (by me)
-compiled omi with ep3 items
-GM Tool by me. With ep3 items and mobs.
-Admin Tools pre-configured with default user/pass for the database.
But I think I have an ep3 DB. I'll check, if I do I'll upload it for you.
If you do find it, please up it. I'd like to take a look around it ;s
Here is an EP3 DB:
http://forum.ragezone.com/f613/ace-s...elease-682932/
Thats what i was about to try...
That DB was missing some EP 3 stuff and what was listed in there, was empty...
Because you have to import the .xls file which is floating around....
I can tell that DB is the base of the current ep3.3 setup. Ofcourse needed lots of updates, but it's the base.
It should do fine for a ep3.2 setup though.
Maybe I did it wrong but importing .xls files gave many duplicate table entries that were still empty.
It doesn't matter if there are empty entries. The Localization\ti_%s.cfg takes care of all the names and descriptions.
I think theres something wrong with servergroupinfo. If theres someone good at disassembly pls try to find wtf happens when preserver reads the servergroupinfo. I thought it used the "ServerGroup: %20s, Enable(%d) MGameServerID(%05d)" text to scanf it but somethings wrong, even if it runs. Notice that i use only 1 dollar ($) sign before SERVER_GROUP_INFOs in pre.cfg and double dollar sign ($$) in global.cfg cause otherwise it has an error (mgameserverid is somehow 0 oO). So i think that it doesnt read the second variable correctly (whereas it replaces the first one with "Pandea"). Hope theres someone interested...

"ServerGroup: %20s, Enable(%d) MGameServerID(%05d)" This setting is good for me, if I use 1 $ in global.cfg and 2 $-s in pre.cfg, server starts, but it has a DB error.
I gotta say a big thx to all those who upped ep3 stuff so ima tell you the answer. Check this thread :Read Carefully
Consider that if you gave it atum as db user (4 chars) it says it tried to log in with a J3 user (2 chars). 4 chars are turned into 2, straightforward.
One more thing: try editing the $$SERVER_GROUP_INFO1 = "A random string lol"
Itll work without error!! So as i said, somethings wrong... And this thing later will most probably cause an error.
Oh i found it. Check post #13 for correct ServerGroupInfo config (i hope it is). The string i mentioned was really misleading but while disassembling i noticed it looked for other stuff (like TRUE instead of Enable(1) and it first looked for the servergroupid and THEN for this "TRUE"). After all it wasnt of any practical use to have stuff like ServerGroup:, Enable(), MGameServerID() in the strings; its easier to just give the values. Anyway, atm im stuck with InitDbTable() error.
