Character table wasn't restored, so oh yeah, levels and AA are not reimbursed, but at least you have all your items and flags. Yay for backup.

Was shutdown on purpose this time. Think he figured out how to fix a problem or is looking into how to fix it. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

If you made a backup of what the database looked like at time of crash, why not just throw up that backup and fix the nullstring?

My knowledge of the EQ code is minimal but not all datastrings are easy to do that with.

LDoN Instances are 99% done.

I got them working 100%, via hail, for free, so I moved the code down to sub EVENT_ITEM so that you have to pay plat for the instance, but I forgot to copy and paste some variables there that are using in the naming of the qglobals, therefore a record in the qglobals table was create with a null value for name, thus crashing everything. That part is now fixed, and we should have LDoN (Public) instances tonight. Will cost 1k pp for instance v1 and 2k pp for instance v2, so there will be 3 total zones per LDoN level.

Because I did a lot of edits to a lot of tables before I backed it up before the wipe, trying to figure out which tables were affected by a screwed up instance, when it was a screwed up qglobal I found out later.

True, especially if it was repeated over multiple records. BUT he did already remove the nullstring, so I'm assuming it was an easy fix in the first place, hopefully he can do it to the other backup. Hard to tell without actually seeing it in front of me. Even so though, a few lines of code to repair the database could very well work. Just go through and parse out the null strings that aren't supposed to be there in the records. Too many variables to really guess at it though without seeing it in front of me.

You, sir, are a very skilled individual and I appreciate all the hard work you put in. Glad to know that you figured out the problem and that someone like you is running the server. Cheesy
