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.
