New Server Problem

Cari_Moon · #1 08-21-2004, 04:44 AM

I can get all the way to the Character Select screen. I can even create a character. but when I try to login with any character it says Zone is unavailable.

*Note: 99.99.999.999 is not my real ip address it is just a example ip address.*

This is my World.exe output:

[Status] CURRENT_WORLD_VERSION:EQEMu 0.5.7-DR6
[Status] Loading variables..
[Status] Loading zones..
[Status] Loading items..
[Status] EMuShareMem loaded

my loginserver.ini:

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE2: the word 'Server' is added to each server automatically.

### --- READ README.TXT

If you are running the server on the same comp as the EQ box it will take a minute for the zone to boot up. Just continue hitting Enter World and it should work eventually.

I hate to be the one to point this out. You have not finished your database sourcing as the instructions metioned. You will notice that your world.exe output says that you've loaded count=28,731 items. Well that means your only using MW_57DR2_alpha1 at the moment as far as items.
But it also means you've propably not added the following sql files and commands.

Code:

itemtablechanges.sql
MW_ZONEPATCH.sql
loot_update.sql
npc_types_update.sql
loottable_entries SET probability = '15'
newFactionList.sql
add_factions.sql
npc_faction_update.sql
ALTER TABLE `npc_types` ADD `AC` smallint(5) not null default 0
UPDATE npc_types SET AC=(((level*level)/1.75)+15) where AC=0
UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='PersistentZoneState'
UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='MerchantsKeepItems'
UPDATE variables SET value=0 WHERE varname='holdzones'
*** Added unknown008 column in 'items' with value 1

Just a hunch but I definitely found issues logging in since it was posted that the MW_57DR2_alpha_1.sql file had corrupt or missing zone data which is why the post mentioned somewhere on this site to go to a page and add them in. I'll have to search it after my morning coffee and see which post it was, but I'm betting with 10:1 odds that this is why.

Hey just curious have you patched to live recently and if so have you patched with S2K's patcher? Search the forum for it because its about as much as I feel comfortable posting if you did patch to live.

You don't need a full item db to run EQEMu, heck all you need is zone, character_ and account (and a portion of variables but that comes with peq) to login I believe.

-edit- Err, if it was just the MW_57DR2_Alpha_1 you would not see that message you'd see something like this:
