Original Zebuxoruk DB and server build

[Amra]

Yello all,

I finally came across my Zebuxoruk CD while going through a bunch of crap. This is an unmodified version just as Jib released it way back when. There are no Abyss related changes and all characters from the original zeb server are intact. It would be nice to see Zeb live once again.

I attempted to bring this up to date once.

Someone more talented than me will have to try haha.

[Splose]

holy shit.. lots of memories on that server.

8/21/2007 binaries...

holy hell on a stick.

Maybe Akkadius could get this up to date for someone.

Sounded fun.

[boweq]

yeah this server was Amazing,

[Davood]

holy crap 2007 binaries.. i started tickling eqemu in 2008... and that was primitive to what we have now. geez.

I still have all of my compiles from 2008 onwards so i don't imagine it would be IMPOSSIBLE to bring zeb online but it would need some serious database massaging.

damn i wish i had free time to do eqemu stuff again, maybe instead of sleeping one week ill check it out :P

[Davood]

this is going to require older version of perl and mysql i think?

[Davood]

i brought it to life for 5 minutes, tested some stuff it worked 100%

then i realized its missing about 99.9999% of the awesomeness that is 7 more years of eqemu development.

now i'm converting it through 7 years of changes to the db quests etc. may have to analyze the quests and possibly update them too (can i do it automagically well see, hopefully they are more or less fine.).

im updating the server to about may of this year before all of the ridiculous changes started occurring (which i still haven't synced my own server up to yet)

[Davood]

ok finished teh update

hailed some npcs and quests seem to work

will tinker with it some more but for now its up and its updated from 2007 to 2014

[nenelan]

I fondly remember this server. Wasn't heavily in to it, as other pursuits occupied me that era, but Davood, you're a saint for working on this. I'd love to see this place again, if only for the nostalgia blast.

[Davood]

It's up. Give it a go


I am collecting information on what is broken right now.

Default zones are needing a fix
Bind points
Some issues with making chars.

[ghanja]

Tried, encountered an unknown error while trying to join the server. Will look into that from my end in the meantime.

[Maze_EQ]

wonder if my old rapesauce monk is here.

Oh damn hes there but lvl 44.

*edit* Clickies are broken as well.

And quests are giving error (0) (aug1) is not an actual augment.

A lot of spells are (out of spell range) as well.

[Davood]

Ok i know how to fix that Aug error problem. And the spell problem.

In fact I had those issues recently. Gonna search my own threads tonight when I get home.

Thanks for testing guys
