Hi,
does the newer version automatically convert the mysql table layout to the newer layout?
im currently with the war3users table version.

ok ill check it tomorrow,
altho i did try it with RC7.0 before and that one just created new tables and i believe pp then said about RC8.0 converts xp from structure from RC7.0 to RC8.0.
So tomorrow ill find out if it converts from the old war3users table structure as well ;)
fingers crossed

Senne.
Try with this version first.
Tried it on my test-server and it converts my old data to the new structure.
After that u should be able to update to RC8

i tried it before when the first RC7.0 came out but it didnt convert then.
Now it went fine!!! (altho i still need to test it fully ;) but it looked OK)

I noticed the same problem.
The RC7B1 converts the data to the new db but only new players are tracked to the stats system.
