[komothoes]

hi i have a 2.3 server and i have done alot of work and do not want to start over with a new server is there a way i can up date the server so i can still use the same server

Yes, first dump the data for the tables that you have done work in (Most likely vendors, npcs, items, gameobjects, spawns tables). Then you are going to want to download the latest ArcEmu revision (or just a newer repack). You will want to install the new database and then execute the new NPCs, gameobjects, ect. on top of that. You will probably have to change the I.D.'s of the NPCs and gameobjects, if you do make sure you that you change then in the spawns table as well. Start up the new ArcEmu and your set!

Get an updated core such as ArcEmu or Ascent then execute the required sql updates and its uptodate with the latest patch.

ok i thank i see what your saying i am looking at the new server it has a sql page that says updats for world how do i do the updates the my database and then i just dd the new cor to my server after that i just play the game

yeah you get the database updates from the ArcEmu SVN. Then you right click that database and click "Execute batch file..." and choose all the updates from the revision of your OLD ArcEmu to the current one.

[komothoes]

ok you have the new database i just execute batch file of the old

so i add the old in with the new woodent that just overright the new with the old

Your kinda hard to understand Umm Use your OLD database and install the database updates. This will get the structure up to date. (If you don't mind missing out on the Wotlk)

With WotLK Content: Install the new database and then execute your old dumps (cleaned up with ONLY custom content) into the new database. Sorry if thats a little confusing.

o ok sweet i understand im sorry if it was hard to read me lol but been a long day i will rep you for the help thx alot ok o and the ver that Wotlk is 3.0.3 right and i have a lonin update where do i put that at like what database do i need to add that one into

[Vindicated]

You need to make a new database for the logon database if you plan on creating a multiple realm server.

[komothoes]

ok well i try to add the new parts to the old data base but it keeps faling

[komothoes]

Alright, so this is what you have to do (taken from all the posts above and compiled into this :P)

1) Extract your 2.4.3 Database
2) Clean so its only Custom Content
3) Get a 3.0.3 WotLK Database
4) Install ArcEmu Updates on the 3.0.3 WotLK Database and the 2.4.3 Custom Content File you have (step 1)
5) Execute 2.4.3 Custom Content File (step 1 - 2) into your 3.0.3 WotLK Database
6) Compile new ArcEmu Core (or get a WotLK Repack)
7) Edit Config files to point to new WotLK Database
Enjoy!!
