EQEMU v0.6.2, My Experience

[WildcardX]

I have pretty much dedicated my weekend to getting 6.2 with PEQ RC1 DB working.

I am pretty sure the opcodes.cfg file is missing several opcodes, but aside from that after re-sourcing the db like 4 times, I found that when i suprressed screen output on mysql with the "-s" option and then sourced the DB, not only did the source command take like 1000% less time, but I also have a working DB. Now this might just be coincidence, but each time I sourced the DB I got a different result, as far as error messages from world.exe. I dunno, but I do know I have now have a working 6.2 server with the latest peq database and I was even able to log off my server and then log back in with the same char and zone with no problems, something I have not been able to do since Friday. I am also using the latest 4.0.X mysql version.

Can you attack mobs? If you can then your doing better than me...

Though i might try this -s option, i dont have errors in my world but i do get a op_clientupdate or something like that wrong size error... which from other posts is not updating my char's location on the server, but client side i can run all over the zone....

edit: and i can't zone correctly... zoning from ecommons to west freeport and i end up in nek forest ....

sadly, i can not attack anything. I get a "your target is too far away, get closer!" message, no matter how close i am.

But I can zone from ecommans to west freeport with no problem.

I also notice I can zone to poknowledge, vex thal and shar vahl, although these zones are all empty.

And in kael and i think all of velious in general, i notice none of the mobs move.

alot are having the target to far away bug. Dunno if this would help anyone to figure out what would be causing it but i run a quick packet collect on PEQ then on sacred annialation server and quite frankly both packet collects pretty much match each other for the opcodes and stuff. i did the same thing in both servers from makeing a toon to walking out of spawn point attacking a guard and attacking a guard when your first spawn in only diff is in peq i died fast lol and SA i just stood there with the to far away msg. so if PEQ runs on linux (dunno) and were trying to run a windows possible that the other post i seen in hear may hold some possiblities. But i am by far no coder or know any c++ mumbo jumbo so i'm lost heh.

well poo... :(

I guess we are waiting for a dev person to figure out the glitch. Something to do with the wrong size client update thing,.... sorry shutdown my server in preps to go out, so dont have exact line... but you likely have the error/notic in your zone window... op_something expected 38 got 36...

Catch you all later,

edit: or like tallerin mentioned, it could be a compile difference between linux and windows... i'm not a c programmer either but that was mentioned in another post....

I cant click on merchants or do quests either with NPCs i know to have quests. I also cant stop any npc by hailing it. I think this is related to not being to attack anything. Its like the server doesnt have my correct zone coordinates? Except that i can open doors and cross zone lines so i dunno...

In my zone.exe, and yes, i am running this on Windows 2000 server, before i get the "OP_ClientUpdate expected:38 got:36" or "OP_ClientUpdate expected:38 got:37", I get a "OP_AnnoyingZoneUnknown (#299, eq=0x0000), size: 8" message when I first zone in. And like I said, I can walk around and open doors and cast buff spells on myself, but I can not attack via melee or spells anything and I can not get any quest npcs to respond.

Also, in my world.exe, I see a TCPConnection::RecvData(): Error: 10053. Looks like this happens everytime I zone and right after it says something like "Removing zoneserver from ip:0.0.0.0 port:0" and then right after that it says "3713250 New TCP connection: 127.0.0.1:16777343". And I think this is related to what I see in the game, every so often I see a broadcast from ZServer about a lost connection from world. Eventually, I see a message that the zone has reconnect to world.exe.

I had the opcode errors as well, I copied and pasted the names of the missing ones from the world.exe window into the opcodes.conf file and just zeroed out the values. No idea if this worked, the error didn't come up, but on to my next issue..

I tried both the eqdr2 db and the peq db, and I can't get either one to work. The eqdr2 db spits out a bunch of errors in world.exe, and then says "make sure you sourced utils/items-0.6.0-DR2-0.6.1-DR1-convert.sql" I have no idea where to get this file. I'm not even sure if this db works with 0.6.2, but at least it lets me load up the zone servers.

I also tried the peq db, and I get no errors from world.exe that I can see, but when I run boot5zones.bat they immediately crash.

I'm just stumbling my way through this, but I'm close, I can feel it. I guess I'll just keep plinking away until someone figures it out. Where are those PEQ guys, they have a working server
