Uthgard is maintaining portal, yes. The sources are shared among the DOL team.

exporting DBs from DAoC DB

What do you mean exactly?

[Etaew]

I run a resource for live players, a database of npcs, items, spells etc. If people want to work with me on the site, I can provide export links so we have a central DB that can be publicly shared and updated.

Etaew, i have done a quick look in to your DB, it contains a lot of items that represent the newest generation of DAoC. DoL DB and any other Clone represents more the old user journey. Me for my part does not really see how these DBs can be merged to a new user experience. Allthough it fills me with a certain jealousy when i see all those items and quests. Anyway, your project is more advanced than any other i have seen so far, including my own project

just my two cents

and Uthgard controls portal dev? When did that happen?

Once I stopped working on it, those guys are awesome. Not sure if it is still in their hands though.

Yup, I'm still maintaining it. At least connect.exe itself -- haven't touched the GUI in a long while

PS: Etaew smells.

Hi Metty!

Etaew nice work on daoc db, its still looking grand

[sryker1911]

How does one gather this information to be placed into the database? Do you actually /gloc each mob on live? Is there a faster way to do this? I am a newb but for me I would just need to understand how to do this in order to update it. I noticed no mobs in the battlegrounds using the public database .

.
- Various people joined (Tired and quite a few then regular commiters joined) who made the update process mental, we were roxx0ing the DOLness.
- It got quiet, there were various phases of activeness/in-activeness/Tired and I switching roles as we came and left
- It got quiet, years passed, people left, people left and the work that Akira, DH, Tired, Argo, myself, Geshi, DF, Viper, Phen, DW etc (Some of who are still active) became less and less.. Updated.
- We're here today.

I've done so much custom work in my time working with DOL almost nothing was useful to the progress of it. However the few things I could push I did. Like the origional ML npc that sat in DOLs core for a few years. All those who did DB work are gods I couldn't stand to read and type through all those lines the few times I helped Tired double check.

To those who have help keep dol going to this day. Great Job. To those who keep developing I praise you and your work I wish I could step up and do the same just without a server team to work with/for I feel it would go to waste. I'd love to work with a server team that pushed to advance dol to the few things it needs.

Side note - I Miss Tired

[Argo]

some of us still do commit, but we don't announce it anymore. There is not much sense in anouncing DB work. It will show up in the world of daoc, people are happy and thats it. But yes, it has become quiet around us WBs, devs etc... Some of us work on other shards, some of us work solely on their homeshards. But however you see it, the DoL project may have reached a certain age, but its not dead yet.
