[Quote=Yoshi da Sniper][Quote]I think it's a question of plausibility.. you would have to reformat and restructure the tables for a merge, and that's a lot of tedious and error-prone SQL.[/Quote]Thats not actually how it works DTBK. Even less so because Latova kicks ass and stores an unparsed version of every post. All IP would really have to do is run every single unparsed post through the SEN v5 parser and the posts will be as if they were made on here. Errors in SQL would have nothing to do with any of this.[/Quote] [color=#b5b5ff]Well, you would have to redirect the data into its respective columns, unless Latova and SEN use identical post and topic tables. I suppose that doesn't take [i]that[/i] long, but it isn't done in five minutes, either. And you would need a way to handle that member ID's don't match up. Does Latova store the member's name in the posts entry, or are you querying the members table? It's not impossible, just work.[/color]

[Quote=DT_Battlekruser][color=#b5b5ff]Well, I don't know about some of the topics.. nostalgic value of Toa making a fool of himself, perhaps :P [/color][/Quote] lol, yes, that must go down in history.

I think moving all the posts from Maplantis to SEN would be a waste of IP and Yoshi's time that could be better spent doing something else. Any topics worthy of being moved here could just be remade. It would save a lot of trouble and confusion, because there wouldn't be a dozen topics just appearing and bumping down the topics that are active here.

It's just renaming them to roughly match up and convert things where necessary. Latova queries the members table at the moment but adding a member name into a table is an easy one query. You know, something like this "UPDATE topic t LEFT JOIN user u on (t.start_id=u.id) SET t.last_name=u.name" Geez. That was a lot of work.

My time right now will be spent on latova and I'll code here when I am called upon. I'll be mainly with the community and making news posts as soon as a few things are finalized.

[Quote=EcHo]I havent seen any maps made by all the Null spammers or anyone who currently has over 100 posts. Not even an effort in posting in productions that they are making any maps.[/Quote] I had roughly 7000 posts on v4, and I still diddle with modding innovation, and occasionally mapping. Pretty much same as Merrell.

That was a lot of work.[/QUOTE] [color=#b5b5ff]Well, unless SEN is already written that way, you would have to rewrite the post display script to put an exception for the imported entries to display the Maplantis name. At least in my experience, it all sounds simple, but when I'm done debugging it's been hours.[/color]

Well thats sooooooooooooo fudged up.

Well thats sooooooooooooo fudged up.

I don't see how it would be practical to import topics as senv5 requires a user ID for every post.

I don't think it would be a good idea at all, importing maplantis topics. Importing senv3 and senv4 topics would've been great too, but it's just not something that can be easily done or that will have good results. I think SEN needs a fresh start. This is not maplantis2 but sen afterall...

Nice. SEN still remains osmap unfriendly.

[color=#336699]Damn you Tau, i was just getting comfortable with Maplantis too... :[ Anyways, welcome back.[/color]

Well, if Maplantis is going to e shut down, can you at least turn off the thing where we have to have like 40 posts before getting an avatar, sig, or title? That's the biggest thing a hate about SEN right now.

Yay, Finally my loyalty to SEN pays off. O btw. Thanks for answering my IM's IP.... /Sarcasm.
