Locate the files (/save/ in TXT, your SQL databse in SQL) and make a back up. You also might want to back up any changes you did to eAthena, such as custom sprites/items, open-source changes. After backing it up, change motd.txt, grf-files.txt, and the .conf files in the /conf/ folder to your old settings. It is important that you use a fresh eAthena, as it changes in structure and many files will have different formats over time. Put your backed up files back in, and run eAthena like you normally would. </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3"> © Content Copyright 2005 eAthena Development Team/Evera<br> © Design Copyright 2005 Evera </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td id="rightborder" valign="top"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tr> <td id="rightborderspacer"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <img src="./images/rightborder.gif"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
