I downloaded the server source code and compiled it. I got the server loaded up and it ran the database update just like the guide said it would . However, I noticed that there is not much data in the tables. For instance, the items table has only two items in it. I understand that there is no public release yet but I was hoping there would be more data as I'd like to start playing around with the source code to see if I can contribute anything. I was hoping the update would at least be somewhat similar to what TessServer has. Did I possibly do something wrong or am I going to need to add a bunch of items so I can start testing things?

Go to the portal page and READ the Second and Third announcement.

You should find what your looking for right there.

I guess when I read that post (State of the Database) and saw it was from a year ago, I though that maybe something had changed. The only custom database download that I've seen on this site, the link doesn't work. I'm more interested in making changes to the C++ code, so having to populate the database to test things is a bit of a pain. Guess, I have no option then. Thanks for the response.

The Release of our database (TessEQ2) and the ServerPack, both links work fine. Just checked them. As felich said, they are the top 2 news stories on the Portal. Can't miss em.

Thanks for the reply John. I see now. When you guys were saying the portal page, I was thinking (http://www.eq2emulator.net/index.php) as that's where the portal link in the menu goes to. I must have a cached version of that page as those posts weren't there. It wasn't until I went to the Announcement forum that I saw the posts you are talking about. Thanks for the help!
