How to update from 1.0.2.3 to 1.0.2.4

[bcpaul]

My first server is epoch is 1.0.2.3 which is working well.  What do I need to do to update it?  Overwrite all of the files of just some need updating?  What about the database? 

 

Thanks in advance.

There's a couple of different ways to upgrade. I run a Vanilla Epoch server so I did the following steps.

 

A. Create a new 1.0.2.4 server

B. Create a new database

C. Use previous config/setting/etc files, and pull data from those to quickly update the new ones

D. Export player/object/character data tables and imported them into the new database

E. Delete all the old data once verified

 

I did it this route, just in case I had to pull anything from the old database, or had to double check anything based on the old files. If you use add-on scripts, could get a bit more involved of course. Only took like 10 minutes since I had the game files loaded for a fresh server setup.

Do I need to create a new database then import the old database tables for player/object/character data ?  What happens if I just don't touch the existing database tables and use them.  Although using the 1.0.2.3 database tables works without touching it.

I created a new database, imported the sql file that's included and then imported over those 3 tables. You could leave them in / not touch em. There might be easier ways, this is just how I did it to a couple of servers.
