[Guide] Setting Up The Importer Tool

[SectorSeven]

This is a guide to setting up our Importer Tool! Yes, our SVN doesn't contain a rar version, because this importer tool makes the import into your database much much faster. Just follow this simple guide to setting up your importer tool.

First, you need to visit the folder where the Ascent Blizzlike Database SVN checkout was completed.
Here is a picture:


For some people this main contain a "checkmark" by each file, this is normal as I have simply removed this so it will quit bugging me.

Next, you need to open up the Tool.bat (Windows Batch File) in the Ascent Blizzlike Database Directory. I suggest you open it with Notepad or Wordpad. To open it with one of these programs, right click the tool.bat and click "Edit".
What you see should look something like this:



Next you need to edit these lines:

set user=USERNAME
set pass=PASSWORD
set wdb=WORLD_DB
set cdb=CHAR_DB
set ldb=LOGON_DB

You need to change this to your MySQL Information you did upon completion. So now it should look something like this:

set user=root
set pass=root
set wdb=WORLD_DB
set cdb=CHAR_DB
set ldb=LOGON_DB

Now you need to change the database info to the databases you are importing to. It should look something like this:

set user=root
set pass=root
set wdb=world
set cdb=logon
set ldb=logon

Notice how my cdb and ldb feilds are the same. This is because I have a conjoined logon database. Most of you probably have this case where your Character and Logon databases are conjoined.

Now simply save the file (CTRL S) and click the X in the corner of the page.

Third, double-click the Tool.bat file and hit "i" then wait until its done.

Fourth, enter in the key "u" to add all the Changesets or new data.
You have just setup your importer tool and now have the latest ABD database installed.


Have fun!
