well if thier sole reason is to prevent others from makeing a duplicate server there are other ways of doing that than excludeing 90% of the game.

I think the big question here is, if we let you guys wipe the database what will you give us in return?

well see there you go, your doing it too. SQL headers ARE code. And without them a vast majority of planeshifts "engine" will not work or at the very least, never be used.

well the compile guide says to copy everything in the data folder but the gui subfolder. Should I not of done that?

isn't the SQL headers code and not art though? according to the licensing section of the website it said all code is available but the art is not. But from what I can see it's just the opposite.

I originally wanted to help out for the experience with SQL databases. So I was going to go through and correct some bug reports dealling with items and stuff in the database (particularly that really old one about the sizes of mugs and things being larger than some swords...) as well as add a few new tranformations. (mainly allowing allready molten ores to be combined to make steel, bronze, etc..)

I got it to work compileing the C++ Version 8 of everything as the VC++ version 9 of planeshift seems to have bugs with the compiled VC++ version 9 of crystalspace. Almost everything compiles fine, but planeshift doesn't seem to be able to make the generated crystalspace DLL's work. However the demo apps with crystalspace work just fine reguardless of version so I'm assuming it must be planeshifts problem.

libcal3d-csvc9.dll crashes when you issue the spawn command on the server. I followed the compile guide all the way through up to this point.

note that I'm useing the latest CS,CEL trunkss and the latest CSwin32lib installs as directed in my previous post.

yep, everything but crystalspace's "fancycon" compiles. (takeing that up with the CS support people at the moment) now it's just a matter of getting all the crap planeshift's compiled exe's need to work...
