(known as eqemu_update.pl) now known as eqemu_server.pl
- eqemu_server.pl is now a general EQEmu Server management utiltiy framework that can be used
to extend to many purposes. It's main purpose is to simplify server management
- eqemu_server.pl changes:
- Menu has been completely changed, instead of a number based (enter number and hit enter)
you now type commands within the menu (Ex: 'database')
- Handles last mile installation for Windows Servers (See Github Readme)
- Handles last mile installation for Linux Servers (See Github Readme)
- Ubuntu
- Debian
- Fedora
- CentOS
- Now checks for Internet connection before performing web requests
- Database:
- Regular schema updates now happen automatically, if new binaries present updated
database schema changes, script will backup first, auto update database, and continue
world bootup
- Regular bots database schema changes now happen automatically similarily to the above
- Database checks can also be ran manually via the script menu
- CLI Arguments
- Arguments passed to eqemu_server.pl can execute the same name-based operations that
are present in the interactive menu
- Example: "perl eqemu_server.pl opcodes" will download opcodes
- Example: "perl eqemu_server.pl backup_player_tables" will backup and export player tables
- Bots
- Bots can now be automatically setup in Linux or Windows via the 'setup_bots' command
- Windows will auto download binaries and install, along with installing bots db schema
- Linxu will auto compile binaries and install, along with installings bots db schema
- Utility scripts
- Linux now has the following utility scripts for download, available via menu 'utility_scripts'
and via Linux default install:
- server_launcher.pl
- server_start_dev.sh
- server_start.sh
- server_status.sh
- server_stop.sh
- Usage analytics
- eqemu_server.pl now collects usage analytics, this is very helpful for our developers
- Example: We can see how many installs have been performed:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server#server-installs
- This helps us see how often certain utilities are used as well
- Console Messages
- All script messages have been prefixed with a bracket action Ex: [Update] [Database] [Info]
to be more consistent with our log conventions
- 'New Server' Utility
- Running 'new_server' from the main menu or 'perl eqemu_server.pl new_server' while in
a completely new folder with just the script present, will allow a server operator
to initiate a full clean PEQ install in that folder. Pulling down all assets and
installing a PEQ database with the name the server operator gives the prompts in the
script
They started linked spells at OoW launch (I think)
At least canni was linked then.
This is rather user unfriendly, but that's live like.
Ex. the spells aren't actually put on cool down so you can attempt to cast them
still but you will be interrupted.
Titanium is particularly unfriendly with large differences in reuse times
New limits:
Tit: 9
SoF: 9
SoD: 10
UF: 12
RoF: 12
RoF2: 12
The SoF client doesn't actually support 10 like SoF should
RoF/RoF2 actually have 4 extra broken spell gems in the UI. They don't work and
will likely crash your client
Quest stuff assumes you are passing in valid slots.
(note the old default of 10 should be 22)
There are still somethings to do like clean up the memmed spells if one switches
to an older client that doesn't support as many as their previous client.
Added live like proc chance modifer based on level difference to target.
"Anything above your level will receive full mod. Starting 6 levels below PC level there is a negative 10 % mod applied each level until it reaches 0 and will not proc on anything 15 levels below you or lower."
Thanks to Huffin from PEQ for the parse data
For SE_Gate, base2 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
For SE_BindAffinity, base1 is which bind to set (starting at 1)
For SE_GateCastersBindpoint, base1 is which bind to use (starting at 1)
here was actually no spells that don't send to the main bind,
but it uses a base1 of 1 which matches with SE_Gate
This also doesn't break anything
The quest stuff for now hasn't been updated to be able to make use of the extra binds
There are a total of 5 bind points, with the 5th being your starting city
