Zone.exe crash upon load-in

[SiezeALL]

Alright, there is a similar post about 6 pages back, however, Spike's guide is old. I used the tutorial at http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=16120 to setup my server. It all works perfectly until i try to zone into the game after creating a character.

I glance at my server's monitor and zone.exe has a good 30-40 lines of "Error loading NPCs from database. Bad Query."

It will then close completely, or once in a while, just drop the client and return zone.exe to the previous state(no zones loaded).

I used the PEQ Kunark RC1 along with the DBUpdate that was listed in the guide.
I also tried, with the exception of of the 5.8 classic db, the steps listed in the reply a few posts below the guide(on a 100% fresh db).

Both installs return the NPC errors.
(and yes I changed db.ini to use the second db)

Any help/info/anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

are you talking about shadeweavers zone ?
I ported it in with packet collector.
I get that also you have to delete the dupes in it with eqadmin.

Actually, I tried two different starting zones. I tried Gfaydark, and neriaka. (wood elf and troll) Both of them did the same thing.

I have MySQL-Front, and I'm pretty sure I could delete it from that tool. However, I'm going to wait until I get a reply hehe.
