Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Just updated tonight with the full new set and compiled. Updated the database via the script that deletes the char files before updating the database. Ever since recompiling, everyone logs in dead and cant respawn? Any ideas?

no idea.. sounds like something may have been missed on the update (script missed something?)
I updated old-school and it's OK.

Sounds like your database was not properly updated. A lot of tables have been modified recently so be sure that you update them all properly.

ok then. the question is how do I update the db without losing players' character data?

Please check this thread first, then reply here again if something still isn't working correctly.

If you log in dead, you need to add the zoning field to char stats:
alter table char_stats add zoning tinyint(1) not null default '0';
