Server

**Lone** · 30-03-09

Hi Folks

Sorry i didnt realise lapta was going to move us over to the new server last night (if i had known i would of had a bit of a practice with the new SQL to work out how to use it {its completely different!})

Im currently trying to work out how to get into it - i can see where the tables live its just i cant seem to get into them at the moment.

i have a feeling some of the fixes lapta applied yesterday might be what has caused the various things to start popping up in the shops - so ill have to double check lots of bits and pieces.

As soon as i get it sorted and back online ill give double exp and some compo boxes for everyone to run about and find.

as soon as its online ill help people get connected (bah i wish lapta had waited till friday so i could help everyone over a weekend >.<) but hey ill try and get it sorted whilst at work

anyway when i find out whats up ill let you know.

All best

Lone

any idea how long it will be before were able to get on ?

at the moment i dont have a clue - i can bring the old server back online, but it will mean you guys all have to change your files again (although that might be faster seeing as i cant even get a copy of the current database for me to play around with >.< - the "Copy Database" feature which sounds like the right thing doesnt actually work because its missing componants. and needs to be installed from the system cd blah blah blah

as soon as i work out how this dam things works ill get it online (its not only a new database setup - which is completely different - but its also a new operating system which is warning me it has 55 days left for activation - all in all it seems like its in a bit of an odd way.)

when i find out more ill let you know.

well i've managed to get a second copy of the DB (although im not exactly sure how >.<)

anyway as always when i find more ill let you know

(the operating system is like a server version of Vista >.< bring back server 2003!)

Well it looks as though lapta took an exact copy of the files so im unsure why those issues arose on the NPCs. (200mil chests/ fire swords etc)

so im not exactly sure how to fix it lol

hopefully lapta should be around soon to try and help out.

ill keep playing and see what i can get sorted (im double checking different bits a pieces encase its something blindingly obvious - but i doubt it will be lol )

anyway wheni get more info - ill let you know

HAHA I swear SQL 2008 was totally redesigned just to make everyone have to go on a Â£2500 Microsoft course >.< its a joke its so dumb!

seems like your still winning your battle though

**Lone** · 30-03-09

lol various things seem ok - but its all kinda wrong >.<

i need to double check with Lapta how long we have left on the old server before payment is due - if its still over a week i think ill bring it back up so you guys can play whilst im pulling my hair out lol

ill ask as soon as hes online

=) your very dedicated to this server =),

Even if theres only 2 days on the server mate it gives you breathing space to fix the new one.

If people cant be bothered to change an IP address which takes all of 30 seconds then thats their problem
