The problem seems to be in the custom tables i guess. but what can i do?

i updated to the latest revisions. db is updated too, without any problems. but on gs-start up this error occures.

i would be thankfull for any advise.

did you install custom tables when you was installing the l2jdb ?

[Cresceus]

yes i did. the same problem.

now i dropped all custom tables (before that i make a backup) and i installed the custom tables again.
now the error is disappeared, but the custom tables are empty.

i bet that the error will occure again when i load the custom-sql-scripts and the tables are filled with data.


i will try and post the result.

[Cresceus]

Well the problem is solved.

the whole thing was because of this entry in the custom_npc table:

Code: Select all

INSERT INTO `custom_npc` VALUES ('0', '0', null, '0', '', '0', null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, '0', '0', 'LAST_HIT', '0', '0', '0', 'fighter', 'false');

i don't know where this entry comes from.


thank you very much for your quick response anyway, janiii!
