PVPGN UPDATE INFORMATION

This file contains a summary of all changes from previous version you need to take care of when updating your server to the current version. It should contain: -- info's about all new/changed parameters in bnetd.conf -- all new/changed config files in the conf/ sub-folder The path's specified are those of the default unix installation

NOTE: If updating through several versions (example if updating from 1.7.1 to 1.7.5) you HAVE to go through ALL the update information listed for every version in between and including the last one (ex. you have to go through 1.7.1 to 1.7.2 update info, then 1.7.2 to 1.7.3, and so on until 1.7.4 to 1.7.5)

Updating from 1.99.0-CVS

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/d2cs.conf : added optional: game_maxlevel config option which needs to be given in the case of Diablo MODs with a level > 255

Updating from 1.7.9 to 1.7.10

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/sql_DB_layout2.conf : added creation of two additional indices

Updating from 1.7.7 to 1.7.8

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/sql_DB_layout.conf : includes changes needed for the new "username" SQL field used to fix a MAJOR bug that shows up with case-sensitive SQL engines (almost ALL non-MySQL engines); if you update to 1.7.8 YOU MUST update this file too if you have your accounts on SQL
  • conf/bnetd.conf : added Westwood Online (WOL) configuration options; woladdr to specify the address to listen for WOL clients, woltimezone for the server timezone to send to clients, wollong for the server longitude, wollat for the server latitude
  • conf/bnetd.conf : changed "servaddrs" directive to not be totally commented and be as ":" by default in bnetd.conf (if "servaddrs" is commented this means "bnetd" will not listen for b.net services at all)
  • conf/channels.conf : added channels needed by WOL clients
  • conf/versioncheck.conf : updated with the latest client versions (War3 1.18a, SC/BW 1.13 and 1.13b)
  • conf/bnmaps.conf : updated with the maps used now on b.net

Updating from 1.7.5 to 1.7.6

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/bnetd.conf : moved the old "servername" parameter to "hostname"
  • conf/bnetd.conf : introduced "servername" parameter for server identification

Updating from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4

  • conf/bnetd.conf : added "ladder_prefix" parameter to allow only games with matching game name to be counted as ladder (applies only to alternative ladder game types as specified by "ladder_games" directive)

Updating from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/bnetd.conf : added "sync_on_logoff" parameter to have account data saved to disk on user's logoff
  • conf/d2cs.conf : added bak_charsavedir & bak_charinfodir parameter so d2cs can delete the backup copy of characters deleted by the client. these settings need to be set the same as the d2dbs.conf parameters of the same name

Updating from 1.7.0 to 1.7.1

Configuration files changed:

  • conf/bnetd.conf : added max_connections parameter to set up the max allowed number of connections to the bnetd daemon
  • conf/d2cs.conf : added max_connections parameter to set up the max allowed number of connections to the d2cs daemon
  • conf/d2dbs.conf : added difficulty_hack parameter to activate the Diablo II level 100 workaround

Updating from 1.6.x to 1.7.0

Because of the many changes in 1.7.0 we recommend using a clean install and update the configuration files as necessary. Things to note:

  1. you now need GNU make to build PvPGN on POSIX systems (on Linux this is just "make" but on *BSD is "gmake")
  2. d2trans,gametrans,w3trans have been unified under address_translation.conf file which has a complete new syntax so take care with that
