from 0.75 to 0.77 keeping player levels?
« on: April 03, 2008, 07:11:11 AM »
hey all,

This is the first time i have attempted to upgrade a WCS server (it was set up by someone else)
here is its current mods

Mani Admin Plugin v1.2BetaR
MetaMod:Source v1.4.2.414
EventScripts v1.3.0.006
Warcraft Source v0.75 FULL

so i want to remove all the current mods and install the following
latest metamod
latest sourcemod
latest eventscripts
latest warcraft source (v0.77 i belive)

my only question is, is it possible to keep players levels, i don't exactly want to remove them as this would cause alot of angry players

cstrike/addons/eventscripts/wcs/WCSusers/es_WCSusers_db.txt ist the file from 0.75 and contains the levels

cstrike/addons/eventscripts/wcs/WCSusers/es_wcsdata.sqldb is the file from 0.77 (newest) and contains the levels

So changing the content of it will save them but always remember to make a backup.

yes, the users will be auto-converted to the new database on first connect (it may lag this moment!)
the server may also crash, if eg. 10 people are connecting _at the same time_ and you run at low tickrate.

but this is a good method to clean up the old users, because only new will fill the database.

always make a backup, in case there are some problems and you might want to switch back....
