[SIZE=4]Background[/SIZE]
A group of developers want to create a better TitanMS core. I have tried to contact koolk so that he would let us have a repository and a bug tracking system, but he haven't replied. So we decided to take it upon ourselves to fork and develop a better TitanMS. At the same time, MooMoo opened his/her [URL="http://"http://dev.chiasoft.net""]development forum[/URL] so we took that as our base. The core developers of Vana are project leaders there.

[SIZE=4]Why "Vana"?[/SIZE]
When we decided that we want to fork, we need a name. I suggested that we take the name "Vana", from "Vanadium" which is "Titanium"+1 in the periodic table of elements.

[SIZE=4]What is a fork?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]Boost C++ Library[/SIZE]
Vana uses the Boost C++ Library which must be installed separately, get it from here:

[SIZE=3]VEDB[/SIZE]
Vana depends on VEDB (Vana Enhanced DataBase) which is the successor of GMSDB. The database loading code is now in integral part of Vana and VEDB now only consists of the actual database file.

[SIZE=4]Instructions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]SQL Files[/SIZE]
The SQL Files are in the "sql" directory. I recommend you to start from a clean database, before filing any bug reports, please make sure you start from a clean database and not a TitanMS database.

The SQL files are designed to be executed in the number in front of its name. For example, you execute 0001_original_tables.sql before 0002_add_fame_log.sql

You [B]must[/B] execute all the SQL files in the directory. Except when you're upgrading Vana. When you upgrade Vana, you execute only the SQL files you haven't executed.
For example, the last file you have executed is 0002_xxx.sql and in a new version, there is 0003_yyy.sql. You only need to execute 0003_yyy.sql and later files.

[SIZE=3]Configuration Files[/SIZE]
In the conf directory, you will find configuration files. Renamed all .lua.sample file to .lua and edit it to suit your server. Your server [B]will[/B] crash if you do not rename your configuration file. [B]You should not have to edit .cpp file to change configurations now, this includes LoginPacket.cpp[/B]

[SIZE=4]Changes[/SIZE]
[B]A lot[/B]
See: [URL]https://trac.synexic.org/log/[/URL]
