L2J Server

Hi..
I wonder, when i download a new DP and SP the updates of the SQL database are included...???
Or i need to run again the (tools\database_installer.bat)..???

Normally, what i do to update to latest DP and SP is this:
1) Backup config files from gameserver and login
2) Extract both L2J_Server-unstable.zip and L2J_DataPack-unstable.zip in server directory
3) Restore config files to gameserver and login

Do i need to do something more...???
Any help will be appreciated.

1) your old config files may be missing some configuration items. You need to keep the new files and put your changes back in it at each release. diff/patch may help doing it

2) you need to update your DB. This can be done automagically by the DB install script

3) You need to put your other changes back (announcements for example)

L2J is *NOT* a plug and play system, you need to do some tweaking to have it running properly... By the way, SVN versions are better than night-builds... and you need to plan when you upgrade carefully (only when there are needed bugfixes/updates) as each update may bring new problems which may kill your userbase.

And "custom content" (custom shops, events, ...) are the way to go to keep your player base... but they require changes that have to be ported from one update to the next one (and to be checked on a test server to be sure it don't break anything)
