The 'mob_base' table has a 'type' column, ranging from 0 to 5. What do the different numbers represent? I'm guessing 1 is for ships and 2 is for organics, but the others? For instance: Agwe the Planter and Lurking Gazer are Type 0 Adult Rock Spore and Nazari are Type 3 Glinting Manes and Lapis Titan are Type 4 Blazing Manes is Type 5 (the only one of that type) Also, there are more 'spawn_group_id's in the 'mob_spawn_group' table than there are mob groups in the 'sector_objects_mob' table. Why is that?

You're kidding right? JEs need the cargo space or they will run out of room for the ore.

Will this require another reset/wipe when it's ready to come online? I agree. Please use the Announcements section.

I'm looking at the 'sectors' table. According to the table definition the data type is TEXT, but when querying the result is BLOB. The same is true for the 'greetings' and 'notes' columns. The 'sector_ip_addr' column is defined as BIGINT but is also returned as BLOB in queries. Anyone know how to fix this? [edit] Changing the column data type to VARCHAR seems to fix the display issues.

OK, what does the key mean?

SVN asks for a username and password when connecting. What are they? [edit] Nevermind. It only asks for a PW when 'importing'. Kind of confusing.

You need to use Virtual PC to do this, AFAIK.

OK, what do the colors mean?

Is there any documentation for the database in SVN? I'm having trouble figuring out how all the tables are linked to each other. The tables have a confusing column naming scheme, and not all tables have primary and foreign keys.

OK, I managed to work around this by using the 'Manage Server Instances' wizard instead of 'New Server Instance'. I also could not us the 'Import From Disk' dialog of the 'Data Dump' page. Instead, I had to create the net7 database manually, and then type the following at the top of the dump file: Then I opened the dump file in a query window and executed it. Seems to be working OK now. All the tables show up at least. I can't figure out however how to tell when a foreign key exists and what primary key it references. The column names are not much of a help. It's also not obvious which columns are the primary keys. Normally I would expect the first column, but several tables have repeating values in the first column. (I'm looking at the harvestable ore tables.) Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

OK, I installed MySQL and the GUI tool. However, when I try and create an instance using localhost it says, "ERROR: Test Error: File %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini doesn't exist Operation failed: File %ProgramFiles%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini doesn't exist" When I plug the same path into a command prompt it opens the INI file in my text editor, so the file is definitely there. Anyone else have this problem?

Would be interested in how to do this. Thank you.

OMG, that's disgusting!! You should be banned!

Will our current characters be erased completely, or will they just be reset back to 0?

Well, the restriction on level was one I just made up. There really wouldn't have to be any. You could combine a level 3 device with a level 7 device and randomly get some level 3 buffs and some level 7 buffs. To make things simpler, the device could still be rated at level 7 as long as it had at least one level 7 buff since it would be the minimum level "required" to operate the device. This would result in a weaker-than-average level 7 device, which you wouldn't normally want to do unless that level 3 device really had something unique that you didn't want to live without. Non-buff stats or same buffs would be averaged I presume. I.e. (10000 shield + 5000 shield) / 2 = 7500 shield. Mixing a level 3 and level 7 device and ending up with a level 5 device (or a non-rounded number) would be a lot more complicated. The result would be an even greater variety of invented devices however.

The quests ask for refined ore, so multiply that by 5.

No I haven't. Wasn't having these problems before X-mas break though. [edit] Correction: firewall (software) is disabled. Here's the log for a CTD while wormholing:

It would be cool to be able to invent new devices/equipment. The idea I have is: Let's say you have two items. Each item has three buffs. You combine them, and the result is a new item of the same level with a total of three buffs selected randomly from the original two items. Both of the original items are destroyed, as per normal. "Invented" items cannot be analyzed or disassembled by anyone except the inventor. This could be a special skill reserved for a particular race or class. Maybe the Jenquai Seeker.

I think the "Gather xxx hundred ore" quests are a bit outrageous. They should be reduced from 100s to 10s.

This happens often after character selection and I try to enter the game: The game also CTDs sometimes when entering/exiting stations or sectors. I'll post the log next time it happens. Windows XP SP3 COMODO Firewall avast! Anti-virus AT&T DSL broadband

Also, someone said the 'event' will be over when the DEVs get done stealing all your porn.

I lured some to the gate guardians, but the corpses went poof before their claim on them expired... oh well
