Groovey thnx slanesh problem solved

another thing (major problem >.<)

when i edit the db, and click save changes, i get an error message saying "error microsoft OBDC paradox driver operation must be an updateable Query"

any help with this 1?

 

[Slanesh]

Have you set up the DB correctly through the BDE administrator? You heed to make sure you've named the new database to HeroDB, and the path is set correctly.

 

[Fibrewire]

BDE reads;
HeroDB

path is set to;
C:\mirserver\mud2\DB

looks ok to me, so im confused

 

[Slanesh]

Was only a suggestion :/ Search doesn't reveal that problem (mind you, I've never had to save my changes to DBs - it does it automatically).

Try making a few edits then just closing DCcommander - see if that saves it.

 

[Fibrewire]

nope adding to the sever editor and just closing didnt work....

 

[Slanesh]

Ah, you're using a Server Editor to do DB work :/ Thought you were actually using DBcommander....

Try getting hold of DBcommander and its crack and using that for Database editing - I find it far better.

ive got DBC pro 2000, but i didnt knwow ot it does >.<, how do i use it?

 

[Slanesh]

If you've installld it, go into your \Mud2\DB folder.

From there, you can see your monster.DB, stditems.DB and magic.DB

You can edit each of them by right clicking and selecting 'open with' and selecting DBcommander for the list (or you can browse for the program if it isn't there first time).

It opens like an Excel spreadsheet with a few extra feaures. It doesn't require saving, and requires an Idx number, which for each entry must be unique, and must all show in exact numerical order (no numbers missed out or arranegd in the wrong order - starts at 0)

The field names are pretty much explanatory for most, but if you're unsure just search up for a list of exactly what each does.

slan, i editted some stuff, went to boot the server, but the m2server gives the error

"stditems.DB: (load of gook) code=-100"

wots this mean ?

The idx number's are not going in numerical order.

Should be

0,1,2.........150,151,152 etc.

 

[Fibrewire]

aye i see the problem

shall i just re number the files so they go in ascnding order?

or will that mess something up?\

in which case how do i move the files up and down the list?

You just change the idx number, look over all the idx numbers, and if you see one wich is out of order change it so it will be correct, you wont have to move any entrys, just change the value under the idx column.
