Yep did that, seems to be something else tho. Need someone who's good with sql debugging to see what queries are being made from the server components. I did have a tool on harddrive somewhere that logged the traffic but cant for the life of me find it. Someone will know what i mean and be able to crack it, most likely b4 i do lol.
Main thing to find out is how the mir3db database is queried (if there is one now) as there doesnt seem to be any reference to it in any of the setup files, the stditem, magic & monster tables appear to be in the Envir folder but are named stditem.dat, magic.dat & monster.dat. Can't get them to import into a mir3bd entry or restore so mebe they are queried differently now. Anyway, opening them doesnt help, they appear to be encrypted too.
Anyone else getting any further?
