So the restore point functionality worked great. Upon installing I could no longer launch internet explorer. No doubt there's just something broken with my computer, but definitely wanted to drop a note to thank you for adding the system restore point feature.

I had the same issue with IE, instead of wasting a lot of time wondering why, I just installed chromium portable.

Serious issue with repack software
 

Im having serious issues with your software. It seems as if it has taken over my pc. Once i turn on my pc I get the eqemu akkas peq repack installation feature window. It seems like it wants to re install it. I have to click canel more than 5 times to get it to close. But once it closes it re appears again. Anything i do starts your program up again. Whats going on here?

Also when i start task manager to shut it down. It automaticly closes explorer.exe.

Yeah some people have weird issues but others it works perfect.

I would suggest using a virtual machine if you really want to use it without issues on a clean install.

When I get time I am going to update the repack build so it isn't so intrusive on some applications, its not exactly the easiest process.

Hello guys,

i have been looking for a bit to get a Howto make a BuffBot like its on EZServer, but i cant find out how to do it ... Anyone know where i can find a Howto for it ?

You can start by asking in the right place, probably Quests::Q&A, although a bit of searching through the quest forums will find you several examples of buff bot type scripts. Here's one: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29401

and is there somewhere a Howto where i save those Scripts ?:( noob i know... sorry

How do you go about finding your MySQL password?

Look in your eqemu_config.xml

Yeaa I must've changed it. I re installed the pack and found it. Thanks for replying man!

I’m not sure if this belongs here on it the general windows forum, but I am running Akkas PEQ Server Repack. Happy to move it if need be.

I could use a hand troubleshooting a specific spawn/timer, but in the process I hope to learn how-to troubleshoot them in general.

Quick caveat, does it matter if the npc in question is in zone in a dynamic zone? pardon, I know its a noob question but I honestly don't know how/if the timers work when the zone isn't static.

Specifically, I’m trying to troubleshoot Naxot Deepwater in Burning Woods, she’s just not popping (but Telin Darkforest is) here’s what I’ve tried or checked so far.

1, I was able to #spawn her but once I left the zone for a while she was gone when I came back.
2, I’ve verified the perl scripts for her are in the quests folder, those look ok
3, I have restarted the server and checked at 4am, 6am, 8am, 9am and 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 9pm game time etc. unless she’s popping for a few seconds and poofing I’m just not seeing her.

I guess what I could really use is some basic check x table or y folder for 1,2,3 type instruction and I should be able to get it. I did check the wiki but I’m not seeing anything this specific there.

Thanks for anything you might be able to provide that’ll point me in the right direction.

Hi Akka,
Is there anyway to install this on a drive other than C?

I haven't seen anyone else ask about it regarding the Akka Repack, but is there a way to enable ROF2 using the repack. I am fairly new at all this so detailed help is always appreciated. Thanks

I am getting errors when updating to the latest source. I installed AKKAs repack last week, and server has been running very well. I tried the RoF2 client and the dbg from the rof2 client form steam never makes it to the character select. It stops here.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the repack not being kept up to date (within reason)? Only curious, it seems there are quite a few relying on the repack installation to serve as a base for running a server that will be upgraded/rebuilt by its owner/user. I thought the premise behind the repack was to get people up and running quickly with a server they could poke around on. If that's not the case, then... otherwise, I'd personally recommend people to follow the Windows Setup guide. If nothing else, it will ensure a fresh install of everything and you'll know right off the bat if complications will arise from building your own later (in most cases if the first was successful the likelihood that the other consequent builds being successful is quite higher I'd think). <shrug>

Just seems that these technical questions being asked concerning builds ontop of the repack seem self-defeating of the repacks existence to begin with?
