reverse update

[rumpilstilskin]

Hello all,

I'v got an unusual question : how can we reverse update?

I'v just update from UDB 401 to 404 and I'v got problems.

I have created quests, npc and objects with Quice on my 401 server, and since my update in 404 UDB version things dont work like they should.

For example on several objects we can have special spells trigered on the object. This doesn't work any more. I have the message my character doesn't have the ability to use the object when he can equip it

Also when I launch Quice to check the detail of the object, I have the message : Item out of bound (10)

Also I dont have like I used to have a list of spells on Quice to put on my objects.

Either someone here understands the problem and has a solution or I would prefer reversing to my previous version: UDB 401

What would be the procedure to do that? I guess it's no use to take my saved Mangos file, it wont work with the new version of the core.

Thanks for any advise!

Do you have a database backup from (just) before the update?

In that case you could import the backup, if you don't have a backup your changes are probably lost, although you could change your DB to UDB401.

probably such errors are related to issues in the core rather than database.

maybe you can reproduce such an error with not-custom parts of the world and provide info about them then

@dufernst, Got a save of data before updating. Don't think the database was modified but going to try anyway.

@Schmoozerd, don't understand what is your idea. What do you mean by reproducing this error on non customized parts of the world?

Thank you both for helping.

You applied UDB404 (and 402 - 403) didn't you? Cause in that case the DB did change.

Those update packs could overwrite your custom data partly, possibly resulting in invalid custom changes.

OK thank you for these precisions dufernst. Going to try loading my saves !
