I don't know whether some one has met the problem like this.

I have build a server follow the "The most up-to-date Windows Server Installation guide" (http://www.eqemulator.org/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=CategoryServer)
I've followed every steps except build the database. Because I cannot get the database by the link in the guide. I use the database rev1751 and upgrade to the newest version with the sql scripts in EQ\source\util\sql\svn. It works. I can start loginServer, shared_memory, world, queryserv, ucs and launch_zone. I have checked the logs and no error reported. I can login by the client version Titaim.

When I think I have started a server successfully, I found there's no NPC in the Zone. I go to many zones in game, No NPCs, No mobs.
I can spawn NPC by spawn command. But nothing happened by dbspawn2 command. I have debug the zone init process. I cannot find out why there's no NPC spawned there.
Did anyone meet this problem, Or is there anyone can help me? Or give me some suggestions? Thank you.

Many thanks.
There's a solution in the thread by changing the column "npcspecialattacks" to "special_abilities" in the table "npc_types". But "npcspecialattacks" is not in my "npc_types". "special_abilities" is not in, either.

And, is there anyplace I can get the daily dump database? the URL http://peqtgc.com/release can not be connected.

Every Thing is OK when I use the latest peqdb from daily dump. I must use proxy to cross the Great FireWall to get it...
