Topic: Dyna Help from the masters

[Vorcha]

Hi Guys,

I have a  question or two.  I have been following the instructions for creating a dyna and everything has gone fine except for the sequel server section, it goes to error everytime I launch the server platform.

Q:  Is there any other way to edit the active database file other than using sequel?

I can get the server to run fine w/o the sequel switch on.  The Dyna I'm writing requires chnages to the active database.  i.e. assigning ships to specific players, changing ranks etc.

Q: If I have to use Sequel, is there a link or site that can help me puzzle thru the error it is showing?

I am using the sequel tutorial found in the latest server pack put together by pestilence. (nice job by the way)

I think I have come up with a way to merge the two sides of the game thru a dyna campaign (i.e. the die hard GZ - WGL guys and the guys that normally play Dyna)  Should be a lot of fun, but I will need to change ship assignments on the fly - similar to what Skull did with the RDSL campaign.

Any help is greatly appreciated.....Thanks V

Ensure the [SQL] section of the database.gf looks like this (except for the DSN name if different):

Code: [Select]

[SQL]
UseSQL = 1 // (0) 0 = use flat file, 1 = use SQL
DSN = "DYNAVERSE-MYSQL;" // DSN of database
DumpLog = 0 // 0 = none, 1 = separate files, 2 = one file, 4 = both ways

Read Castrin's included "SQL for OP Walkthrough.doc" under Dyna2Xtras\docs if you haven't already.

If you don't get any joy, post the errors here.
