Getting this server running no longer starts with installing MySQL.
Changed
- Nothing to install. The server keeps its accounts, characters and game content in ordinary
files in a
dbfolder beside the executable, and creates them itself on the first start. No credentials to configure and no SQL to run. - The download carries the full game world: the monsters, items, shops, spawns and NPCs.
- To start over, stop the server and delete the
dbfolder. It rebuilds on the next start. - MySQL still works. Set
DATABASE_PROVIDER mysqlinsettings.cfg, load the schema fromdatabase-mysql, and it behaves exactly as before. The schema is identical either way. - Monsters come only from the original map data now. The hand-written spawn file that used to stand in for it is gone, so what stands in the world is what the original map files say stands there.
Nothing else moved. No gameplay changes and no fixes. If something was broken for you in 0.1.4, assume it still is.
