EQ2Emu PatchServer (Database)
Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 12:10 pm
All,
I have spent the last few weeks updating our PatchServer (the thing that delivers you database content) so you are not downloading old, obsolete queries anymore. As of today, May 15th, 2011, Patcher will only send you a base table query + any changes through the current public EQ2World SVN.
Dev's should get tables and content for our current 0.7-dev cycle.
OLD SERVERPACK SUPPORT:
Older ServerPacks (1.0 and 1.1) are too outdated to keep current, so they are no longer supported AS PUBLIC SERVERS! If you want to use a ServerPack as a base for your public server, download and use ServerPack 1.2 or greater. ServerPacks 1.0 and 1.1 still work fine as local Minilogin servers.
DOWNLOADING COMPLETE DATABASE IS SLOW:
PatchServer now has all current Appearances, Visual States, and Opcodes (thank you Zcoretri!) through the Sentinel's Fate client version 6563L. When downloading these larger tables, Patcher will take a long time (possibly up to 20 minutes) to download all necessary data.
I have not yet added our Milestone 1 content to the PatchServer, because the speed to deliver this content would be terribly slow, and might murder my internet connection... so until I find a better way to stream content to you, downloading the eq2db and eq2scripts archives will have to do.

DO NOT ABORT YOUR DOWNLOAD!
Be patient, and you will get a full database for EQ2Emulator.I have not yet added our Milestone 1 content to the PatchServer, because the speed to deliver this content would be terribly slow, and might murder my internet connection... so until I find a better way to stream content to you, downloading the eq2db and eq2scripts archives will have to do.
