I am trying to build a multiplayer module (PW) and don't understand this.
I read somewhere that the database is needed or somethings would not work. I didn't understand what it is that will not work...(?).
The ConvoCC for starters.
Also the external character creator, I don't get why that is needed. Aren't the new classes showing up in game when a player is making the character?
It isn't needed if you have the ConvoCC running & a SQLite or MySQL backend. The server doesn't load the custom resources until you are already logged with a character. After you've made the character. The ConvoCC let's you remake a character using custom resources in game. You basically have to run a Servervault if you want to use the PRC in a multiplayer setting.
ILR and ELC turned off? Why...I really need thoose...
ILR interfere with class features like the Soulknives Mindblade & the Pyrokineticsts Flame Lash, as well as spells such as Crown of Might. You can use a scripted ILR instead however.
ECL will completely prevent PRC characters from logging in.
@ Stratovarious - these are more good questions for a FAQ
