This would present itself on cold boots of Spire when the configuration is set to start the launcher on boot. Server Config Add locking around server config mechanisms to make it more concurrently safe.
Launcher No longer runs shared memory on start if the server is detected to be online. This can cause issues with existing server processes if shared memory is re-ran while the server is online.

Encryption Handle scenarios where user may have parts of an encrypted connection defined but the password is empty. Unencrypting an empty password will result in an out of range error. This will now be handled gracefully and the connection will be skipped if the password is empty.
API Updates Open access to Spire API types for spawn groups, doors, and objects for integration in Sage.
Sage Introduce new page for integration with EQ Sage. Sage, among other things, will be a 3D zone database editor that plugs into the existing Spire API. It is currently in a prototyping/experimental phase and will be undergoing changes to initially support zone editing in a broad sense with details for each individual aspect explored and fine tuned to provide full support for an immersive editing experience. More info can be found in the EQEmu Discord under the #project-requiem channel and any questions can be directed to the creator and maintainer, temp0.
- Spire Admin Fix issue where the server update page would not load because it was not rejecting errors from https://spire.akkadius.com properly. The error occurred because the hosted site is now https (SSL) and we hadn't updated our fetch logic to handle this. This is now fixed and the server update page will load properly again.
- Database Implement log database connection resolving. This allows operators to utilize the "QS" database connection type for logs, particularly sinking player event logs to an external database or server. When a QS connection is specified in the
eqemu_config.json- player event logs will automatically route to that connection. This is useful for operators who want to sink logs to an external database or server for auditing purposes. The database configuration gets synchronized and injected during Spire bootup and also during Spire Admin configuration saving. - Player Event Log Viewer Player event log request is split from character data bulk loading two split the queries on separate connections
- Spire Admin When making configuration changes in the configuration editor UI - the database connection resolver will flush along with any cached user connections. The
eqemu_config.jsonwill also be re-injected into thespire_server_database_connectionstable - Database Resolver Added a connection type of
eqemu_logsof whichplayer_event_logsandplayer_event_log_settingsboth route to currently. - Configuration Sync Ensure we also empty fields when they are removed from the

This release is nothing short of massive. Buckle up! The changelog notes are hefty!
Similar to the dashboard in Occulus, but ported for modernization, quality of life changes, and the high-level server information is always available at the top of every admin page.
You can now manage launch static zones via the Occulus launcher directly in the server start UI.
Before you launch your server, you are required to run basic pre-flight checks, this will ensure that your processes don't have any issues and you are made aware of them before all of your processes are launched in the background
List and search booted zone processes and resources, kill zone processes
Manually backup server assets
Tired of editing that pesky eqemu_config JSON file manually? Spire admin breaks out configuration editing into easy to use deep-link able sections
Crash log webhooks that you used in Occulus? Spire integrates with Occulus to continue providing those in Spire. You can edit the Discord webhook right in the UI
You know that message players read when they log in? You edit that here
The hot reload functionality that was brought to you in Occulus is now configurable directly from Spire Admin. Anytime you make changes here it will immediately take affect.
Critical bug fixes have also been made to the HRM
You can trigger server reloads directly through Spire. Reloads are triggered globally and reload data from the database into the server memory state.
Many tools already utilize this when editing related data.
List, search, edit your server rules in real time. Spire will reload rules directly on your server immediately so you do not need to manually reload them in game. Super handy!
Ever just want to take a quick manual database backup? Spire admin could not make this any easier by tapping into the native eqemu server utility that wraps around mysqldump. You can select specific types of tables to dump, dump everything and compress it with an immediate download
Completely overhauled and ported from Occulus. Spire file log viewer is highly performant, streams realtime and only streams changes since the last file write.
Emulates console coloring, filters by log type, search filters, file deletion, bulk file deletion and more!
spire-file-logs-filters.2.mp4
Manage your Discord logging webhooks directly through Spire.
Manage your logging settings directly in Spire admin. Anytime changes are made your logging settings are reloaded real-time in the server without having to reboot or type commands in game!
Accompanied by a massive new feature in the EverQuest Emulator server (see Player Event Logging) we are brought a powerful new explorer for rich auditing tools.
Spire translates event data into viewable NPC, Item, Spell etc. cards to have contextual insight into the events and what they contain.
Any event you can see the richly formatted event or you can inspect the raw event data
You can filter by event type, zone_id, character_id which are top level filters always available and indexed regardless of event type
You can filter by JSON event data
You can even filter by deeply nested data. For example if you're trying to search for a certain item that was traded by doing a nested wildcard search
Once again you're able to edit your player event log settings within spire admin and changes are real-time reloaded in game without having to issue commands!
Spire admin now has a rich interface where you can download new server releases, or build your own (Linux only)
If you'd like to limit access of other users to your server and especially sensitive areas. There are permissions that cover access to various resources within the admin section of Spire in your local installation
Spire when ran locally will now redirect users to a one-time initial setup where users can choose whether they want their install to be guarded by authentication or not.
This bootstraps Spire for local installations.
Spire now has the ability during initial install to be configured with local users and authentication!
Want to quickly and fluidly navigate your way around Spire? There's now a kbar in Spire similar to Discord, Slack, Github etc.
Navigation search can be activated by using Ctrl + K, Ctrl + / or clicking "Search" in the navigation menu
My pressing the Control key, you can now see a modal that will show you Spire keyboard shortcuts

Item preview renders now properly show negative values.
Click Types were named improperly and not fully descriptive.
Fix issue where older database versions do not support the MySQL clause RETURNING id. This disables the newer syntax allowing creates to work properly again.
Users can now be added to server connections that you own. Any user that has a user on Spire, hosted or local is available to add to a connection.
With users, come permissions. You are now able to manage permissions with both read and write for every resource available through Spire. You can also use ALL to grant users to all read or write.
With users (Developers) come the need to monitor bad actors and mistakes!

Resolved an issue where nullable fields were not properly being picked up in new update logic.
Update logic for all saves has been rewritten to only update fields that have changed. This will also as a side effect resolve an issue where when values are set to zero, the object would not properly save.
Item slots "Ammo" and "Power Source" were swapped.
Adds support for task requisite activity ID.
Tasks for example in Dragons of Norrath have activities that are not sequential and can be unlocked early in task progression. This update adds support on the editor side.

Match lists are | pipe separated lists containing NPC ID(s) or partial (wildcard) NPC names. This is very useful especially when trying to filter activity updates by name.
NPC match lists are available with the following activity types
- Deliver
- Kill
- Speak with
- Give
Fields npc_id and npc_goal_id have combined
To bring similar flexibility to that there of NPC Match List(s), multiple item's can be used for the following activity types.
- Deliver
- Loot
- Tradeskill
- Fish
- Forage
Exploration used to be managed by the proximities table. Part of the recent waves of simplification this is now managed on the task_activities table to simplify. As a result explore boxes are now visible within the activity pane instead of breaking out as their own sub-editor when editing an explore activity type.
Not only are multiple rewards now possible through the Reward Item ID(s) field (separated by |) you can also see them render in the Task Preview Window

- Initial set of item search filters, more to be added later down the road
- Search for items by either table or card formats, table is default
- Item card preview on table item row hover
- All item fields are supported out of the box with a detailed editor
- Class bitmask selector

- Item editor comes bundled with many hover selector and preview tools to make development feedback loop the tightest and best experience it can possibly be. Examples of these include:
- Item free ID selector (hover over "id")
- Item model selector (hover over "idfile")
- Item icon selector (hover over "icon")
- Item color selector (hover over "color")
- Item material previewer (hover over "material", arrow selector) (cloth, chain, plate, robe etc.)

- Item effects selector (hover over any effect "spell id" field)
- The item editor does a lot in the way of setting sane defaults for the user. There are a lot of fields that need to be set when other fields are set so there are triggers that are setup to make this more intuitive.

- When clickeffect is set to a non-zero value, clicktype is set to 5, recast delay set to 12000, maxcharges -1 and casttime to 3000
