Update server changes

[LethalEncounter]

The database update server used to update your World server's database has been modified and installed on the new server. The following changes were made to it:

Code: Select all

1.  Fixed the problem causing you not to receive all the updates when creating a new database.  You will still need to run World twice to get all the updates however as one of the updates for characters require the zones table to exist when it does not the first time around.
2.  Increased the number of downloads from 4 to 10 before you are locked out.
3.  Reduced the lock out period from 1 week to 1 hour.

To reach this new update server, open your LoginServer.ini file and under [UpdateServer] change eq2emulator.net to updates.eq2emulator.net
As a reminder the latest updates are found on port 9102 and the "stable" updates are found on port 9101.

Stickied, for those who will miss this anyway...

It's been a while since I have connected to 9101, but I thought I'd try today to build a base DB - and I am getting an error trying to connect. Am I forgetting something obvious?

Code: Select all

[Error] LoginServer::ConnectToUpdateServer: 'TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: Connection refused'

Config:

Code: Select all

[UpdateServer]
updateserveraddress=updates.eq2emulator.net
updateserverport=9101

This is using my dev server account, which connects fine to port 9102. There is one error when connecting to 9102 on an empty DB:

Code: Select all

[Error] Error in updating tables query '
update characters, zones set current_zone_id=zones.id where zones.name=current_zone': #1146: Table 'eq2structures.zones' doesn't exist

(eq2structures is the name of my local DB) but the `zones` table is in place, so I am sure this is just an update being pushed out before the table is dropped and recreated.

This was a fresh, empty DB when I connected, fyi.

Ahh yah there was a problem with the stable update server which should now be fixed.

Code: Select all

[Error] Error in updating tables query '
update characters, zones set current_zone_id=zones.id where zones.name=current_zone': #1146: Table 'eq2structures.zones' doesn't exist

(eq2structures is the name of my local DB) but the `zones` table is in place, so I am sure this is just an update being pushed out before the table is dropped and recreated.

This was a fresh, empty DB when I connected, fyi.

Read #1 again You just need to restart World to get all the updates.

Did you just edit that? I never saw that before.

HAHA j/k
