Its not exactly useless...
It ran with the 7.4 Captainherlock GS
Don't misunderstand me there were a lot of errors.
I had items disappear with no logical reasoning, I lost stage 5 pets where I had a pair of them but only one remained after starting the game and checking warehouse.
It broke all of my durability items but pet dura was not affected.
It lost my mount data would not let me summon them.
I tried to use a return scroll and I got a "";" expected near" error the scroll disappeared and I did not warp. Had to warp by command.
Lost all soul stone power.
It happened to have Christmas deco on in towns at the time it was backed up.
(Thank goodness I keep regular backups of the DBs everything rolled back in a mater of minutes.)
Now the useful stuff in my opinion...
Very fun to play with.
I could summon the new bosses which I have not gotten that far yet with my 7.4 though I do have the pets integrated.
The tables are an interesting thing to browse.
Maybe things may have gone a lot smoother if I build a full 8.1 resource driven client, but mine is still a hybrid. The 8.1 sframe may help as well but it still looks for server IP address at the moment.
I may have to set up another mssql instance to keep playing with it.
