Server Update

First, pull updated server files from Project Topaz.

Git CLI

1. In the topaz\ folder, open a PowerShell window.
2. Type:

git stash
git pull
git stash pop

GitHub Desktop

1. Open GitHub Desktop. Next to where your current branch is listed, click either Fetch origin (checking for updates), or Pull origin

TortoiseGit

1. Right click wherever you want > TortoiseGit > Settings > Context Menu > check: "Pull..." > Apply > OK.

2. Right click on the "topaz" folder > Git Pull... > Remote Branch: (select or type) "release" (stable) or "canary" (master) > OK > Close.

After pulling the new files:

• RERUN EVERY .sql MODIFIED FILES: Open a PowerShell window in the topaz\tools\ folder and type:

py -3 dbtool.py update

This will import all of the .sql files that were updated and run any needed migrations. It will also possibly overwrite any custom changes you have made to your SQL tables. If you are running custom mobs/items/etc. of any kind, you'll want to save these as queries in a .sql file in topaz\sql\backups\ and use the Restore/Import option in dbtool to import those changes after an update.

• REBUILD THE SOLUTION IF ANY .cpp/.h/.in IS MODIFIED (referring to the whole example at 5. Build the servers).
• RESTART YOUR SERVER(S) FOR .conf FILES AND AFTER UPDATES WITH dbtool.
• .lua files ARE INSTANT IN MOST CASES (topaz\scripts\globals\ .luas will need to be reloaded by using the GM command !reloadglobal where appropriate or restarting the server).
• ⚠️ In the topaz\conf\default\ folder, make sure you take any .conf file that was updated and put it/them in the precedent folder (topaz\conf\). Do not overwrite version.conf, as dbtool uses it to track DB version and will update CLIENT_VER for you if it changes. ⚠️
