Bring up server....

FIRST - went to mysql and created a new database with db.sql. Called it eq52. (text flew by and It said it was done.

SECOND - Copied my spells_en.txt file from my Everquest folder and pasted it into the same folder as the world.exe and boot5zones.bat files were in.

THIRD - Changed the db.ini file to say this...

[Database]
host=localhost
user=(mysql username)
password=(mysql password)
database=eq52
compression=off

FOURTH - went to 192.168.1.1 in my web browser (I have a router) and I enabled DMZ routing.

FIFTH - went to LoginServer.ini file and put this in it...

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5999
worldname=(my server name)
worldaddress=(my external IP address)
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

SIXTH - clicked on world.exe and it told me this...

You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. P
lease do so or zones will crash on startup.
Press any key to continue . . .

now something is not right here, can someone help me out here? please... :cry:

[clementinex]

you also have to copy the file spells_us.txt into the same file as world.exe and boot5zones.

i had the same problem hope that helps

[Shadow-Wolf]

for the item error you need the latest item dump/

[clementinex]

where can you get the item dump?

[a_Guest03]

Here (http://www.everquestserver.com/dumpeditems.sql.gz) is where the item dump .sql.gz file is. Winzip should be able to unzip it in Windows.

[clementinex]

heh sry to bother you again but where would i put the dumpeditems?

[a_Guest03]

You source them into your database. Unzip them into your bin folder of mysql and source them in.

Thanks much =) really appreciated
