Astaldoath Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Im running my own Everquest emulator server so I have mysql 5.0.85 (i believe) running i know its below 5.1 because everquest emulator cant run with certain versions of mysql. My question was. How can I set up the tool kit to work off of that mysql server? I tried using local host and my normal user name and password in the advance settings but it still doesnt connect. I have the Ultimate Edition of DA also. Thanks guys I really wanna mod some stuff.
Thandal Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Short answer is, "NO. The DA Toolset requires Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition". I presume that if you're enough of a DBA, you can figure out all of the entries that you would have to change to point to a different database, but *I* sure wouldn't want to try, especially because of the known user-surliness of the Toolset. There are probably tons of hard-coded menu items and internal references that look for the "expected" locations and functions. But the Toolset itself comes with MS-SQL Server 2005 EE, so you can just install and go, if you want to use it...

If not i guess i could install the tool kit on a different pc

Astaldoath Posted January 24, 2011 Author Posted January 24, 2011 Welp I have good news and i have bad news Good news is i got the toolkit working The bad news is im never going to be able to do anything useful with it because its way beyond my skills. I was looking to change the shape shifting skills to make em more useful. I miss the old days of baldurs gate 1 editing. That was easy :(
