  25. L2J build. Ensure your core and DataPack revisions match each other.
  26. This readme assumes a basic understanding of MySQL commands and internals, SQL
  27. queries, or at least familiarity with a MySQL frontend. This readme will not
  28. teach you how to install MySQL nor will it teach you to use MySQL or any MySQL
  29. frontend. This readme is for the sole purpose of providing a brief overview of
  30. how to either install or upgrade the data in your database.
  31. Installation:
  32. All users: Copy all the datapack content to your gameserver directory/folder.
  33. (for example C:\L2J\gameserver for Win users, /opt/l2j/gameserver for *nix)
  34. You'd know if you are doing it right if you're being asked about overwriting
  35. the data folder and/or its content, since L2J core includes a basic skeleton of
  36. it. It's safe to answer 'yes' at this point.
  37. For new L2J databases or existing databases where you want to delete character
  38. and account information: Create your loginserver and gameserver databases so they
  39. match the loginserver.properties and server.properties settings respectively (the
  40. default for both is 'l2jdb'.)
  41. Method 1: run database_installer.bat for windows users, or database_installer.sh for
  42. linux/unix users.
  43. Method 2: Select your database and run all the batch scripts in the sql folder
  44. For existing L2J databases where you want to keep character and account
  45. information:
  46. Method 1: Run database_installer.bat for windows users, or
  47. database_installer.sh for linux/unix users. Choose (u)pgrade when asked.
  48. Method 2: Select your database and run all the batch scripts in the
  49. sql folder that correspond to tables in your database that are missing or you
  50. want to upgrade.
  51. IMPORTANT: There may also be changes altering table structures, if you need such
  52. an update after some certain changeset, you should run the relevant SQL sequence from
  53. /sql/updates/. Database_installer tool will provide a way for you to execute them all.
