I used Akka's prebuilt server installer, however I ran into an issue with the database. For some reason it was not pulling down database files so I manually downloaded peqbeta.sql and sourced it in. Now however when I run the start.bat included in the compile, i get about 300 lines of text saying patch not found, then unable to download patch.
Looking through EQEmu_Server.pl I did find this string
Code:
get_remote_file($eqemu_repository_request_url . "utils/sql/git/bots/required/" . $update_file, "db_update/" . $update_file .
I went to github and the path seems correct to me, however I am not very experienced in setting up servers.
Not sure if this issue is related or not, however, after waiting for all the patch errors to pass, eventually the server does start and I am able to create a character. As soon as he tries to enter the world though I instantly crash to desktop. I have tried manually downloading each patch and sourcing them all into HeidiSQL database but both problems still persist.
