Hello,

PacketParser -populate inserts the collected data into my eq2 db, does this meen spawns appear automaticly?
Do i have to edit something?

I have collected some data in DarkLight, but nothing spawns when i enter the game.
Could someone help me?!

Greetings Stefan

The spawn structures recently changed, and I know a new parser has not been checked in. That is normally something I would do, but I have been very busy, and LE was adding some functionality to (hopefully) parse Linked Spawn Groups to automatically populate the DB too. In other words, parser is probably broken for -populate right this moment. Soon to be fixed.

That's about all the info I can give, as my primary duty here is to build the Official Database - and any time spent helping others build private databases is time away from that goal. Sorry how that sounds, but it's how it is. :)

Maybe someone else has time to help others build private databases.

Thanks,

i dont want yout to explain me everythink in detail. This is was my first time trying to create a database.
My goal is simply to understand how the emu handles the data in the database.

No offense, i know your time is limited.

Thanks for the answer.

Greetings Stefan

No offense taken. Just letting you know I can't get into it too much. But you tend to figure things out better than most, so I knew that'd be enough for ya ;)

Im looking for somewhere to download EQ2PacketCollector, I have searched high and low the only posts I found with a download link seemed to have the link removed.

Im guessing as the database structure has changed, it just needs updating at which point it will be posted? 8)
