Default .pl scripts not working in North Ro

I've been re-using the Translocator .pl scripts in various zones and haven't ran into any issues until I tried to use one in North Ro. I noticed that none of the .pl scripts work in North Ro. Only LUA scripts work in North Ro.

What would cause something like this to only happen in 1 specific zone? I am completely baffled.

No. For now I was able to get a LUA script to work in the North Ro folder that does the same thing that the Perl script was doing, but I'm still wondering why Perl scripts don't work in the North Ro quests folder.

Are you in the correct zone for the folder you're using? (i.e., nro vs northro)

Yes, I am using nro. I tried putting it into northro too, but that didn't work either.

While we are on the topic, why are there two folders for Nothern Desert of Ro in the first place?

One is classic, and one is the revamped version. Which is why Uleat was asking. If you look on your database they have their own unique zone ID. Nro= Classic, and Northro=revamped

Tried a simple script to see if that works? Something like..

player.pl

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {

	if($text=~/hail/i){
		$client->Message(300, "Yes this works");
	}

}
Look out for a player.lua file in nro

Yeah, I didn't ask that...

If a lua and perl file both exist for any given file name, the lua always takes precedence.

I don't have duplicate file names between lua or perl scripts in the nro folder. Still can't get any perl scripts to work in the nro folder either. Issue is isolated to this zone. I even deleted the other folder north ro just to see what would happen, didn't help though.

I'll just have to settle for using lua only in the nro folder. Still works, just strange.

I'm not sure what's going on there...

I tested all of the perl scripts in my local quests folder and they all worked for me.

Seems pretty strange, but there are no true mysteries when it comes to bugs.

I'd remove every script from the zone, setup a global player.pl with a very simple event_say, that works in other zones. If that script doesn't work, and there are no resulting #questerrors, you'd probably need to use a debugger.
