Is there a way to do it? Currently I am running a popular wc:s server and I want to add some new races. However on previous servers I noticed taht when you add in new races into the middle of the race file, as in low levels races, it displaces some races levels. This is because you have to change the number of the race and that fucks it up in the user database no? Is there a way to avoid this?

I'm not sure i understood what you want to say.
You're telling when you change the number of the race, the players lose their lvl on that races?
If it's that. It's only cause in the database, there's not the name of the race, but only it's number. If you change it you have to change the player database.

If you add the race at the end of the race file, no levels will be switched.

However that means that your perfect "higher levels are at the end" thing will be screwed up

If you really want you can go into the database and change all the numbers to their new corresponding one, personally i wouldn't care that much.

ya as far as i know the sql fill that hold the xp uses just the "1" number of the race. It doesnt go by name so if you change the "1" race to "20 and "20" to "1" then the xp for each race will have changed cause in the xp file "1" has only 22 lvl and that wont change . The xp will always stay with the number of the race at leas as far a i have found out

It's not possible, you'll just have to add the race on the right place and change every number xD

Ok.. Thanks guys. I just didn't know if there would be an easier way to do it. I guess our patrons will just have to go through all of the races to get to the others that they can use.
