Quests now correctly added to database
Friday, November 14. 2008
Some of you might have noticed that while the MobMap databases built yesterday were already quite well-stuffed with information about mobs, many quests were missing, as well as quest pickup and quest item drop information. The reason for all this was a nasty bug (one involving multithreading and several threads getting in each other's way, which pretty much is one of the nastiest class of bugs in existence) that prevented many of the new quests from being included in the database builds, and since that is a requirement for the quest pickup and quest item drop data to be included correctly, those were affected as well.
The bug has been fixed last night, no data was lost at any time, and the database that's online for download since a few hours does now include all known quests. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I suggest everyone to download a fresh database copy (it's a good idea anyway to update your database frequently during the next days, as there's a whole lot of new data being added right now).
