Re: My Noobie Questions

It is a barb with an attack pet. I figure out to hex a pet egg ages ago to change the class requirements.

You may find this useful. Its in 343's tools I believe too. Its also long overdue for an update.
http://forum.ragezone.com/f695/hexdata-guide-663918/

In terms of how to make the pet.

Step 1
Clone a pet and give it a new ID. In this case I cloned the overclocked mechacrab.

Step 2
Change the model to the model of the monster. This can be taken from the monster list in elements. The surfaces is the icon for the pet. You probably have to create an icon or use an existing one for it. Change the class to what ever class you want to be able to use the pet egg. 255 is all class. Change whatever other stats you desire.

Step 3
Clone a pet egg. In this case I cloned the overclocked mechacrab pet egg.

Step 4
Give the egg a new ID and name. Change the field for the pet to the ID of the pet created earlier. You do not need to change the models or surfaces here. It is the model of the egg when dropped and its inventory icon.

Step 5
Find the monster you want as a pet in the monster list and change the "tamable pet" field to the ID of the pet egg you just created.

Step 6
For lolz or whatever reason use hexgen in pwAdmin add veno skills such and Heal Pet, Tame Pet, and Revive Pet.

Thats it. There is probably more you can do but thats basically what I did.

Is that a barb with a attack pet? or is something else going on there? LOL

Hey, I have a 105 cleric with a herc and nix (for testing purposes) :rofl::rofl:

Re: My Noobie Questions

AAAAHHHH!!!!!

Ok, so I log in, we want to bid on territories, and suddenly notice our faction names are gone!

I'm sure that it has something to do with the import and my major screwup. Does anyone know if I can fix this so we can do TW this weekend?

Re: My Noobie Questions

Do you still have your backup of your uniquenamed folder? Then use it... Maybe it will fix it... And screw those idiots saying that the uniquenamed folder is not necessary...

When you backup your database, you must always:
1. Dump your mysql pw database
2. Archive the gamedbd and uniquenamed folder

Re: My Noobie Questions

grr that didn't fix it.

How do I dump m mysql database?

is it possible to edit the database manually?

would the dbrebuild.sh script work?

Edit: Ahh found Navicat. now trying to see if I can actually do anything that might fix it.

I just have to LOLZ @ this; I have backed up and restored many-a-times without uniquenamed :ott1:

Well I admit for a test server it's useless because you don't care, it's just a test server afterall.

But for a server where you have some players and on, it's better to backup the uniquenamed folder for faction name and avoid duplicate player name on the server.

Re: My Noobie Questions

whatever the case is, my faction are broke and I need help fixing them. >.<
I even created a faction, raised it to level 3 and here's what I noticed...

1. the faction window is empty except for the name of the faction. All other fields are blank.

2. Bidding on land gives the error message "Not enough funds raised" it does no matter what land I bid on or the amount of the bid I put in.

3. When I log out then back in, ALL information from the faction window is now gone and there is no faction name over my head.

please, someone has to know how to fix this :(:

Re: My Noobie Questions

I really have no clue. However, it does sound strikingly similar to a problem I think Supra had. You may wanna ask him since I have no clue what ever came out of that issue... OFC do not PM him though, most ppl do not respond to PMs for help. I guess hopefully he reads and responds to this thread :wink:

HINT HINT :wink: :wink: nudge nudge Supra !

Re: My Noobie Questions

Best of luck, as I have never been able to successfully restore a backup. I always end of with uniquenamed & gamedbd services offline. But on the upside it does show the accounts there lol. Wish I could help.

Re: My Noobie Questions

IDK about uniquenamed but the reason you're not getting successful backups is because of clsconfig... I can pretty safely say...

Here is my method for making/restoring back ups (not including MySQL because that is effing self explanatory!):

-BACKUP ALL files from /PWServer/gamedbd/dbhomewdb/dbdata
-REMOVE CLSCONFIG (from the backup)

now to restore:
-START THE SERVER FOR THE FIRST TIME (yes, this will create an entirely new & empty DB)
-COPY YOUR BACKUP (WITH *NO* CLSCONFIG) to the proper directory (/PWServer/gamedbd/dbhomewdb/dbdata)

Presto, you've completed a back-up :D:

add:

My guess is that it would be basically the same for uniquenamed
make backups just remove 'config' (instead of 'clsconfig') :wink:

Re: My Noobie Questions

grr it's starting to sound like my solution is to backup, delete those folders, fire up the server, shut down the server, copy the backup back in, (minus the clsconfigs), fire it back up again and I'm good to go?

Or am I just hosed now because the db's are hosed and I have to start fresh?

Re: My Noobie Questions

Tried it, didn't work. Had one person saw names in their faction list for a minute or two and that was it. =( I really don't want everyone to lose their progress, but I don't see any other way than to refresh the entire install.

Re: My Noobie Questions

Yea I think that was exactly what was going on with Supra

Supra, can you please chime in...

Re: My Noobie Questions

Get adminer or phpmyadmin, back up the chars to a sql file, re-do server, import the sql file?

Also make sure you have all the old elements.data etc

Re: My Noobie Questions

Now we can't make new characters, Client disconnects when you try to log into a character you made, it says, "could not log in to server", then "error retrieving character information for this account", then disconnected from server, please log in again".

>.< I'm totally screwed aren't i?

Re: My Noobie Questions

ok bringing up a second system to run from there and try to fix things. Later I'll get around to building up that other PC so I can run some real stuff. I'll play with Server 11.04 too

11.04? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Use the stable releases, like 10.xx, I absolutely LOVE them.

Re: My Noobie Questions

I have to agree, no reason to 'stay up to date', LTS is better anyway... Maybe when they release a higher version LTS, then you upgrade to THAT :wink:

Re: My Noobie Questions

It's just for testing purposes. and I've heard a few others say that they are running 11.04 with no issues. My real server is on 10.04 with only security updates.
