Zone Editor?

[Ravel]

Is there a zone editor out there? I'd like to create my own zones or alter existing ones.

Thanks,
Ravel

No editor needed. All you need is a SQL tool like MySQL GUI Tools, HeidiSQL or SQLYog, open the eq2db in your MySQL instance and edit the contents of the `zones` table.

Fields should be self explanatory. Just make sure the "file" field is a valid zone file name, or it won't work.

Ah but ya see, I'm not a programmer (yet). How does one know where an object is placed if you're editing in a DB as opposed to let's say a drag and place environment or perhaps a graphic UI to assist you see what you're doing?

Please forgive the newbie question.

You didn't say "Spawn a zone". You said edit existing zones, and I thought that meant, making changes to zone names

For the rest, search the forums and wiki for your answers. Plenty of information available.

He did say "create my own zones" Anyways, that does depend on what you mean. You can spawn things to create customized zones, but you are unable to create entire zones from scratch.

Maybe I am 1-dimensional.

Creating a zone, to me, means inserting a record on the zones table, giving it a known file name, and voila. You've created a new zone.

Potato, potatoe.
