Player is beneath the world / moving to safe point

[Xanathol]

Hi Everyone,

put up a brand new server and encountering the following that I just can't figure out. New character ( gm ), zones into starting city and is constantly spammed with something like "Player is beneath the world in [zone] at 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, moving to safe point." I cannot move besides spin and if I duck, I am stuck in a ducked position. If I use #zone to like PoK, I am waaaay up in the air, in the same situation. Casting a lev spell on myself does not help.

Server information:

brand new server
emu rev 1664 ( pre compiled )
peqdb rev 1589
peqquests rev 1589
maps from http://eqemumaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ as of today


Any ideas? I'm not sure where to look or what to do.

Make sure you apply all of the sql updates that are newer than your database version. I'm not sure where they are located when you use a precompiled server version, but if you use SVN they are in the trunk\EQEmuServer\utils\sql\svn directory.

The one that I believe fixed this problem for me is 1618_zone.sql, but there are a couple of others too.

ALTER TABLE zone ADD suspendbuffs tinyint(1) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
UPDATE zone SET suspendbuffs = 1 WHERE short_name IN ('guildlobby', 'guildhall');

You rock! I have no idea what that had to do with not allowing me to move, but sure enough, it works now!

Thanks!!!

Glad it helped. :)

Not having a field in the database that the server expects to be there makes the query fail, and then it doesn't set the zone up completely.

I'm having this same problem, and I'm not sure i understand what the fix is from the 2nd post. Never server also

sorry, new server not "never" server

Ok, so i looks like i need to update Rev1589 to Rev1708 which is the current one, but when i doanloaded 1708 it has no sql files or anything like 1589 does, so i'm not sure what exactly i need to do.
