edit: nevermind..

[elric81]

Is necessary install in the folder of the game to play?
What differences has between source.zip and win32.zip?

[devn00b]

Also Lots of compression changes added by image, and several other little fixes not listed above.

The source is the source that you can modify and compile the executables and dlls. The win32 is the executables pre-compiled for lazy people like me who don't feel like compiling stuff.

And no, it's not necessary to download these to play. Read the "README" and you'll see that all you have to do is change your eqhost.txt. heh

>> Need help!

I updated my 5.1 server. I put in the 0.5.2 update, then sql'd the new items and copied over the new zone.exe, world.exe, and EMuShareMem.dll. Now i'm getting 1017 errors.

There was a patch two nights ago, did this break it or something? I'm using minilogin and I have the eqemu/eqemu status: 200 account in. :/

-- Do you guys need packetcollector logs on augments? :oops:

[Tertiary]

Now i'm getting 1017 errors

Using Minilogin too and have the same problem. I've had a few glasses of wine though and just figured I had forgotten something and would try again tomorrow :?

[Conan]

I have just tried this as well. I tried with tcs's databse and made a new database with nothing in it and tried aswell.

I am getting 1017 errors as well. Useing minilogin to test it as well before updateing public server.

[devn00b]

Dont use MiniLogin...its not supported in any way shape or form

[DeletedUser]

I realize most developers cry about questions on the minilogin, but I was hoping maybe someone with useful info could share.

[Puck6633]

What's the alternative to minilogin for us 28.8K fellows (and more importantly ones who want to play offline, the main reason I got EQEmu)? :(

[MrDoh]

Wellll... one of the fixes in 0.5.2 says that slower connection problems (i.e. dialup) should be fixed now.

LethalEncounter: Fixed a crash bug/1017 bug related to login in, people on slow/lagged connections should be able to login fairly consistently now.

You can put your server in the public list, but just change the config file so it is default locked. Anyone with high enough access level on your server can get into it even if it is locked.
Works well enough being public but locked, for me.

Mr. Doh

[Accio]

alright kool thanx for info guys. Still one question. Ive done a couple of searches but couldnt find any info on this. Im wondering how to bring up the Item Database window ingame so i know what the item number is. Ive only played once and ive gotten down the other stuff but wuz just wondering if the command has changed for 5.2 cuz i dont wanna be finding any old information if ya get me. Thanx again :wink:

[Tertiary]

#finditem ?

[thepooper]

how do I get my item appearances authentic again? eg. shroud of longevity looks white now...it used to be grey and authentic looking before i updated to 5.2...

[Puck6633]

Thanks for the info. :) Unfortunately it doesn't solve the more important problem of being able to play offline. (which is how I play 80% of the time) I guess i'm just stuck with 0.5.1 until minilogin gets updated or something else comes along. :(

[elric81]

Thanks Darkyth

[Trumpcard]

So, is anyone actually able to get 0.5.2 working?

Im only seeing 'having problems' comments

[Shadow-Wolf]

i got logged into my server last night but didn't make it past the character select screen would perhaps using my old db be the problem?

Yes you need to either use the Upgrade-0.5.2.sql or create a whole new DB.


btw i'v been running 0.5.2 for about 12 hours now and i havnt had a single zone crash.

[Conan]

BrightBlade up and running on 0.5.2 as well. Great update!

[Trumpcard]

Let us know how you guys are doing with disconnects.. We did alot of performance enhancements with this release, so hopefully alot of the lag that resulted in people getting disconnected during combat should be corrected.. Also, you should be able to put your pet casting changes back to their orignal format, the pet zone crashes are fixed.

Just let us know...

Scorpious2k server up with 5.2 at 8 am CST.

[Kroeg]

I ran it for about 4 hours solid lastnight. Although my db was slightly incomplete, people loved the absence of the previously stated 'lag', and horses / drogmors were everywhere!

0.5.2 runs beautifully, thanks to the RC testing. Great job developers, and thanks again for keeping eqemu free.

[thepooper]

how do i make equipment color tint accurate :(

[Trumpcard]

Use the right dye ?

[Rogean]

I just tested it myself, item tints arent working anymore (Raex is no longer blue, its back to regular texture # 22 without and color on it.)

[rockocool]

So far 5.2 runs very smoothly and not many LD spotted. Most LD are caused by my testing of various things.
The old quest however is not working with 5.2, they will cause zone to crash upon bootup. Other than that, I am very happy with 5.2.

One bug though, in tradeskil container, after successful combine, the items in the container disappear. But when you put in something which is not the right receipt, after hit combine, it wont combine, but the items in the container will still disappear.

[Kroeg]

It seems that by somehow correcting the armor dye option, something happened with the preset tints on some items (like the green tint on Rowyl's chestguard of nature, etc... this just appears like a cloth/leather chestguard)

[Liem]

Quests make my zone servers die, renaming the quests directory fixes it, but no quests :( any1 have a workaround?

[Scorpious2k]

Running 5.2 for 6.5 hours and 0 zone crashes so far. :-)

[Liem]

Quests and everything???

[Scorpious2k]

We converted our quests over to Perl.

[Liem]

Is PERL support compiled in the 5.2 binarys or did u compile 'em yourself?

[rockocool]

hi, Scorpious2K, how did u do the convertion of quests? is there any codes or programs I could use to do that?

[Liem]

Hmm, I don't seem to be able to cast spells on NPCs or attack them, all that happens is that I get "I don't know that target type. 0xff". again and again.

And I can't change target without zoning
I'm using tcs db with the 5.2-update.

[Scorpious2k]

Is PERL support compiled in the 5.2 binarys or did u compile 'em yourself?

I don't know if it is. We add some modifications to the server so we compile it and I enable it then.

You can start with this http://www.everquestserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11457&highlight=perl

You will have to install Perl on your server computer and enable it in the server software...

[Liem]

i've been playing on your server the last 1/2 hour or so, and I got disconnected when I hailed the Priest of Disorder(or whatever he is called), and when I tried to cast a spell on a bat... I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong(I'm a EQ n00b, even though I had no trouble setting up the server) but I guess its not normal to get disconnected by doing this.

And Scorpius2k thanks for quick and clear answers...

[Scorpious2k]

No, that isn't supposed to happen. And that's what we're testing, so thanks for the info.

That's what open source is all about: sharing. :-)

[DeletedUser]

any plans on a new minilogin?

[thepooper]

I just tested it myself, item tints arent working anymore (Raex is no longer blue, its back to regular texture # 22 without and color on it.)

Ah, ok. Glad to know it wasn't my newbie self doing something wrong. I guess that's on your list of bugs to squash..hopefully you'll correct it, having the correct item color tints really makes the world feel alot more authentic :wink:

[theobeo92]

Finally! Been looking forward to it :D !

Should be great on my Theobeo's Hideout [Non-Legit] Server.

Is only stable, good, friendly Non-Legit right now I believe :)

[StalinGrad]

I am having great difficulty playing the new version of EQemu. I logged on today under my character on Fish-Wolf server where i have several characters to find that i cannot connect to the world. I can get to character select screen but when i try to connect to the world it wont let me, my EQ just freezes. I then figured that a zone might be down so i logged on and made another character in another zone and moved my character to another zone. This worked. I was able to log onto my character and play for a brief time before i tried to zone to another one and I crashed. Since that time i have not been able to log any of my characters onto everquestemu. I came on here looking for files I might have to download in order to play, but only found the ones for servers, is there anyone i need to download of anything i need to change in my everquest folder in order to play? I ended up uninstalling EQ and reinstalling it then patching it then re-installing Emu. Same process occured as i mentioned above. I was able to log onto character select screen but nothing past that. Any ideas?
