As I mentioned in a previous topic me and Slinky were working on a Wurm skills dump to SQL tool. While working on getting the dump to SQL we had to find an easy way to parse the data and put it in to an easy form for making SQL queries... so we made a skills2CSV converter. Since then the tool(s) have evolved and they do a bit more than just convert the raw skill dump to an SQL file. The online tool: http://vwtfoundation.co.uk/wurmimport/ Forum post about our Wurm Database Spreadsheet: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/132940-wurm-skills-spreadsheet/ Download the Tool To download the tool for further development or testing locally we have now decided to release the tool: http://www.vwtfoundation.co.uk/Wurm/WUChar.zip temporary URL https://www.dropbox.com/s/a2yiv4l988agdrz/WUChar.zip?dl=0 Neither of us are pros at PHP/Javascript/SQLite so please excuse the quality of scripting. Most of it is commented so you should be able to understand what is doing what from where, etc. If you have any advice or input it would be greatly appreciated. The tool is provided as is and neither me nor Slinky will take any responsibility for you using the files. To use the tool simply upload to a PHP 5 enabled web site/server and extract the WUChar.zip contents. You can name the WUChar directory to anything you like. All the rest is pretty self explanatory for people who understand PHP. It would be nice if someone could improve the security and/or convert this to Java so a portable version is available. If you know Java and understand PHP/Javascript/HTML forms and fancy having a crack at making a Java application out of this tool - please do! PLEASE NOTE: Do NOT use the SQL queries on a live server yet. If you do - you do so at your own discretion. There are warnings on the tools but I thought I'd just warn you beforehand. It's still a work in progress but I need people to test it. So far we've had no problem importing our own skills and adding attributes on to our test server and the skills work/update/degrade when you die just fine. To import the SQL file created: Shut down the server to avoid conflicts. If you are hosting the server yourself (or single player) then navigate to "DirectoryForWurmOrServer\<Mapname>\sqlite" e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmServerLauncher\Adventure\sqlite Copy the UpdateSkills.sql file created with these tools in to this directory. Within this directory is an application called sqlite3.exe. Just double click this application and a command prompt-like window will open with sqlite> displayed. Type in the following, pressing return after each line: .open wurmplayers.db .read Update_Yourplayername_.sql The application will seem unresponsive for a second or two, then return back to the sqlite> prompt. Type the following then press Return: .exit (Thanks to epel for making this point) It should now have now completed the SQL queries and you should now be able to start the server or game again DONE: Insert affinities Insert Faith, Favor, Alignment, Karma and Priest/Follower status along with deity Add to inventory SQL queries (someone is going to have to help with item IDs /rarity/material/etc) - The inventories are kept in a different database, however should you develop a tool that connects to the wurmitems.db file, item ids can be found here on the item_data sheet. Set other character attributes Added so far: Kingdom GM status Bank balance Priest/Follower and Deity status Sleep bonus Karma Grant titles Only grants titles that are given by skills. Gives titles based on gender (which you must specify). Does not add Epic titles. Meditation path. Tested this with changing the server system time, adding time to the server time, and it gives questions dependant on level correctly for all paths, lets you advance properly, special abilities all work, server leaders show up for the paths, everything works as far as we can see... We would like some feedback on this as we've never been really high level on the paths before. We made it so that it generates the SQL file with an "update_", "max_" or "reset_" prefix so you can tell at a glance what the SQL file will do. Just in case you generated a few files.
