I don't know how the page doesn't explain it better, both the questions you just answered are clearly in the page:

"Run the script in your server directory as 'DiabloLoot.pl'"

"Example of how you run the script: perl DiabloLoot.pl all - does a complete cycle of the script, deletes old entries and creates all new - You should probably just run this option if you don't know what you're doing"

And I go into the detail of the pre-requisites on the page.

?

its just it says open it just opens a black screen and closes idk what im doing incorrectly

Ah, I see your issue, you open this with the command prompt. You can run them from the command prompt. So suppose you had the file in C:\EQ\Scripts you would open the command prompt, type cd C:\EQ\Scripts then hit enter then type perl DiabloLoot.pl all.

okay i tried its not connecting for some odd reason so i download the georges tools diablo tool and it keeps giving me runtime errors after installing the ODBC drivers

C:\PEQ RIP\EQ\EQEmuServer>DiabloLoot.pl all
DBI connect(':localhost:3306','',...) failed: Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'lo
alhost' (using password: NO) at C:\PEQ RIP\EQ\EQEmuServer\DiabloLoot.pl line 35

It's not getting a valid database connection.

It uses your database credentials from eqemu_config.xml, if that is not correct then the script is going to have trouble making a successful connection to your database.

idk i tried everything

also having the same issues, perhaps we're not completely understanding how to run it. my config file is fine, when I try to run the script I get no database is selected error

Can you post a screenshot or something else?

here is a screenshot of what happens when I try to load it http://imgur.com/UCwTyLG
any help getting this running would be awesome, been wanting to run another random loot drop server, the old diablo loot tool I used no longer works, this seems to be the only option I have left. thanks in advance!

yeah the configuration is fine, I'm able to run the server, connect, and play no problems. perhaps the format is wrong of my configuration?
and if I turn off mysql, I receive a Cannot Connect error in place of what I posted previously.

any possibly answers? really looking forward to using this =\

looks like the code to go in and read config is wonky, seems to work by bypassing it.

Ok random question, do you have the correct modules installed?
