And you gotta take the connections out of a LOTF source working on MySql and put it in the 5165

You would need to download [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. Which basically is the MySql dll.
Here's a TUT on how to use connect to MYSQL using C#.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Before you start coding, you should install MYSQL. ([Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...])
Then you can either create tables manually or code something that would create tables for you. After creating tables, you can insert in values from your old database in the new MYSQL database. After your MYSQL DB is ready, redirect your server to read from that DB instead of reading flatfiles.

Sorry for not being specific, but it is a long process.

That was a rhetorical question.

yes but you dont need to copy...

I mean you would need the Mysql.data DLL or you could actually find one on google. but other than that..

This is very interesting pete thank you :)

MYSQL .Net Connector(link in the first page) is the driver which contains the DLL.

Mhm i see thanks

I thank you all for your very helpful responses, it looks like the guy who wrote this source already started to make it run this way but for whatever reason went another way.

I'm not that pro to actually figure out how or where to start from where he left off so if I can figure out a way to implement so the server picks up and logs a persons i.p. so they can at least be banned that way I'm all set, really this isn't a bad source to build from being a lot of the things players want are already in there, it's just that right now it's too easy to dupe silver, cps and items so I was looking at another way to control this when there is probably an easier solution by just tracking/logging i.p. numbers.

I don't know if any of you know where I could find a code or where I'd even put this in the 5165 source so ya this may fix some of the issues i was having.

I really want to go another way with this source and client and make a hybrid game that is totally different in respect to classes, skills and items and like I said I'm not near pro enough to code a source from scratch and this one has everything I need to start from anyway and pretty much seems 100% customizable.

So ya if any of you know how to add a i.p. tracking system let me know.

Thanks.
