1. Setting up your server

Extract the .rar file to your desktop. Then un rar every file in the folder

Then click the mysql setup icon and go througth the setup, choose typical and just click next until you get to enter the root password. Set this to anything you want but make sure you change it in the .conf files later. ^^

After MYSQL has been installed edit your conf files called Ascent(isro) and logonserver to the required username and password. Make sure mysql is running and log into SQLyog or Navicat and execute the database included (only if you want to ofc)

Setting up the database
Downlaod Navicat or SQLyog and connect to the database ascent, then jsut execute the required files, note all things you watn to keep must be backed up

Thats your server installed now the website.

Locate the conf file and edit it to your requirements it can be used for antrix or ascent then click 'stop' then click 'start' and you should be well on your way

(lol, those are talents and not soem install steps :P )

----------------------------------------------------------------
- rogue initiative and setup
added on_dodge and on_resist proflags and handling
all disabled until tested :P
omg we are all out of custom flags

----------------------------------------------------------------
(i can't beleave i'm doing this)
what it does:
- if you have 75/150 riding skill, it should set it to 150/150
how to use it:
- search this text in player.cpp : "DEV, PLEASE PIMP MY RIDE"
- uncomment the next 2 lines lines , recompile and use
ps. This should not do no harm. You can use it even if you didn't get reports from player. You can use it in other revisions too, i'm just giving an example how to fix it for all players from ¦ side.
Will remove code after a few revisions since this has no place in a working rev.

----------------------------------------------------------------

* Fixed crash when trying to respawn creatures from unloaded cells (happened with low reload times)

----------------------------------------------------------------
* Crash fixes.
* Tweaked movement to about the best it is going to get. To the people complaining about lag/skipping issues, get a better computer! You will get movement skipping if the other player is getting below about 10fps I found to be the bare minimum for smooth movement. This makes sense, because if they're lagging it can't process input quick enough, therefore it skips, it's like lag, except the client tries to compensate for it, so instead of it moving from one place to another in a "jerk" fashion, it will "skip" as the client tries to interpolate the position. There is *nothing* we can do about this server-side really, except encourage players to lower their settings or upgrade their specs. (from compboy: "BUY AN X850, FAG, ITS ONLY 100 BUCKS)

----------------------------------------------------------------

* Movement tweaks.
+ Introduced FastMutex class, hopefully to help debug mutex deadlocks where OwningThread=0
* Fixed crash where if a player was deleted while he was in a group it would crash.
* Fixed crash on petlearnspell
* Fixed bug where a farsight (invisible) creature would get attacked by npc's


----------------------------------------------------------------

* Mage: Arcane Power, Spell Power, Fire Power
* Priest: Darkness
* Warlock: Shadow Mastery
Mage's day

------------------------------------------
well since proccount was removed (tottaly agree with burl, sorry was trusting the src ) i added some cooldown to ai_agents
cooldown = casttime + duration + spcooldown (sice you are using mob spells most of the time spcooldown=0, casttime=0 (instant), Duration=0 if not aura ...maybe people will come with better formulas here)
if you wish to use this formula then execute this query
update ai_agents set spellCooldown=-1 where spellCooldown=0
(NTY and in testing faze)
