Help?

Update your database structure to the latest structure. You have two options:
1. Update your DB (NCDB, ODBC, etc) - just if you haven't changed anything in your database.
2. If you already edited your database and you don't want to lose your changes, manually change "displayid" to "male_displayid" and add a column called "female_displayid".

vbCrLf has released an update to ADE (links above):

Ok I am new this but for the most part I got most of it figured out, exsept for a few things. I am unsure to how I remove the spawns I have made. I do have a command .npc delete but that removed them from my game so I had to start over.. its all good, if u know the command that would be great ty. also.. I downloaded Ascent Database Editor and I keep getting. (Error while connecting. please check your input

I am seting it up in this order plz let me know what I am typing wrong.

Host:Localhost
Username:root
Password:root
Database:ascent

I have also tryed to use other names it seems to be something I cant figure out.. server works fine just wanted to play with the NPC's make it more interesting.

hmm, i guess there is no command to just remove a spawn entry. have a look here for all commands (not sure if its uptodate): Gamemaster - Ascent Wiki
and check the new version 0.6.5.
the setting you gave should work. instaed of localhost you can try 127.0.0.1 . the Database should be our world-database (look for the correct name in ascent.conf, there you once edited the name of world-db).

I just installed release 0.6.5 and found a bug (correct me if i'm wrong).

When you modify / create items, if they are to be allowed by everyone, the flag will be set at "0".
In my database, allowables by everyone are set at "-1".
What happens is when the flag is at "0" the item is not wearable by anyone.
When i go in the database and change the flag back to "-1" manually, the item is wearable by everyone again.

Anyways this happens to me, maybe you can investigate or tell me if i'm doing something wrong.

try version 0.7. has many corrections and intresting additions.
not sure, but the problem you are reporting is hopefull fixed :)
