Parallax Server, Database and Scripts

Here is this evenings copy of the Parallax Server to give you some examples of Lua Scripts, Spells, Items and other things we changed in the database to make a semi custom server. Have a look through how we have done various things to get an overall idea how you could setup your own non-livelike server. We're quite sure we haven't done everything right and we have done things a little differently here and there but it should be useful to a few of you I am sure.

The only thing different is our database usernames and passwords which you will need to set yourself in the various inis (login_db.ini, loginserver.ini and world_db.ini)

SVN Revision: 355
Date: 07-12-09
Includes: 32bit and 64bit binary from SVN

Little chuckler for you all

EPIC FAIL

We lost access to our box once and the only service listening was FTP and EQ2world, so I remotely connected and uploaded a LUA script to do an os.execute reboot and then hailed the mob with the reboot command and voila the box rebooted.

However, being me I forgot to take this out and it was on our server and in the shared rar file I posted in this thread! I've editted it now, but if you have it already feel free to have a laugh at the Alexander Rokr lua file.

Chuckling at how bad that was/is and I even submitted a bug report (322)!!

*Forehead slap*

Oh well, hope you all enjoyed that at my expense!

It was the first npc to hail in the main quest, and when the reboot was happening I was sure it was some new players causing me some grief. I went on a warpath, forum posts capital letters and a bug report to boot! God i'm such an idiot.

Do you mean this one or this one? If so, we can close it and pretend it never happened ;)

URL Seems to be dead. Not a surprise after so much time. Anyone have a current link for another customized world? If so I can mirror it on one of my content servers to try to help keep it online. I'm trying to play with as many examples as can to fully understand all the linking.

Sorry if this is a duplicate post on dead threads. I'm new to the site/project and will be parsing as much of the forums as I can. Thanks and awesome project :)
