Error in LoadTraps

[Talio]

To start, I used this guide as a reference.

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ws992mysql5

Also, since http://www.wincvs.org/download.html is broken for winCVS, I went to here and downloaded it: http://wincvs.uptodown.com/en/

So I follow the steps... Install mySQL and plop files where the guide tells me to put files. I source the .sql files properly (and have done so multiple times). I used the wincvs program to get my .sql files from PEQ. I also sourced peqdb_1129Rev172.sql as per the instructions dictated.

I then attempt to load the game with dynamic zones set... I get all the way to character creation (glee, since this is further than I had gotten before), and when I click to enter world it tells me "That zone is unavailable."

I check my errors and it reports this:
[11.07. - 08:53:10] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_error_zone_2564.log
[11.07. - 08:53:10] Error in LoadTraps query 'SELECT id,x,y,z,effect,effectvalue,effectvalue2,skill,spa wnchance,maxzdiff,radius,chance,message FROM traps WHERE zone='cabeast'': #1054: Unknown column 'spawnchance' in 'field list'
[11.07. - 08:53:10] Loading traps failed.

So, I attempt to load the tutorial map and cabeast statically (created an iksar shadowknight) and upon attempting to create the two zones static, it comes up with the same error.

So, I try grabbing ykesha database files from the PEQ site directly, load those up.. still same problem. Try the same with luclin as well... still same. I load up Navicat and find that the traps table exists but is completely empty.

Have I gotten some bad downloads? I am really stumped here and haven't seen any other posts about problems with the traps table that pertains to THIS problem.

I am very much a newbie with mysql and database management altogether, please bare with me.

I apologize for the second post, but as a clarification to the statement saying that the table 'traps' was empty, what I meant is that everything is set to 'null' within it. I'd edit my original post but it wouldn't like me...

If you got your code from:

http://eqemulator.net/download.php

Then you should try downloading the latest available revision from:

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

as that is where the current code is now posted. The spawnchance column was dropped from the traps table in Revision 104.

The server setup guides on the Wiki need updating to point to the GoogleCode SVN downloads.

Alrighty, well I will repeat the process with the most recent build of EqEmu (166 it seems) in place of my original version.

Going to rebuild the databases and start from scratch with the wiki guide as a reference. Cross your fingers for me and I'll get back to you.

Well now I run in to a new problem even faster, I cannot even start up world.exe. It stops with an error titled

"World.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
"The procedure entry point Perl_newXS_flags could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll."

And yes I did install perl 5.8.7.813 mswin32-x86-1418210 and proceeded to install the three things that the guide told me to through command prompt.

I must be missing something since now I cannot even load World.exe. I've noticed that the overall structure of EQEMU is a bit different when comparing

http://eqemulator.net/download.php

and

http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list

The maps and quests folders are under \EqEmu\defaults\ instead of just under \EqEmu\... Is this structure so you can have multiple setups of maps and such?

Since the original Traps problem has been, in a way-resolved... I am going to continue through the fix for the perl58.dll problem. Hopefully this will resolve all of it. Any new problemos will be researched on their own =)

Thanks again.

There is a sticky in this forum pertaining to that error...

[Talio]

Yep and I went ahead and removed my old version of perl, deleted the perl directory in c:\... installed the newer version and have been trying to do the

Install DBI
Install DBD-mysql
Install IO-stringy

Part... I found DBI and IO-stringy in the list of packages installable. But DBD-mysql and DBD-mysqlsequence aren't there to install...

I still run in to the same problem with perl58.dll when i run world.exe... did I miss something to delete or remove?

[Talio]

Alright I think I've fixed the problem with perl58.dll... The sticky's link points to an immediate fix drawn from a .rar and a .msi (installer). The installer doesn't really do anything besides install the newer perl.. the rar fixed the problem for me after manually playing perl58.dll from the rar into system32. Maybe others are running in to a similar problem =)
