Enabling Rof2 through Akka's repack

[BreakKickYou]

Hi again !

I know i know... i've been asking a lot of questions, but i'm kinda new in the everquest community, so i have so much to ask

So, thanks to Akka's fix to his repack recently, i've been able to setup my lan server again, using the 5999 port

But there's a huge problem... whenever i get into a revamped zone ( freeport for example ) i can't attack mobs, and when i try to enter the commonlands, i end up being teleported into the old east commonlands, and if i try to get back to "revamped" freeport, same thing, i instantly get teleported to the old freeport.

( To be clear, i'm connecting using a Rof2 client, and using the 5999 port in my eqhost, eqemu config and login )

Not being able to attack mobs/cast would represent an issue with .map files.

The zoning into old commonlands/back to freeport would be zoneline configurations in the database.

Verify you have the corresponding .map file for the new freeport.

So, how can i get the correct map files for rof2 ?
because the only thing i did was installing the server pack, i never touched the database or any of the server or the game folder :\

Download them from PEQ.

There's no map for Rof2 on the website you linked

EDIT : My bad, found the maps by myself, didn't change anything, well i guess i'll keep playing titanium

If you're running windows, you should be able to go into the folder where your server is installed and click on the eqemu_server.pl file ?
It will open a cmd window with a menu for updates. (including maps), or ultimately, you can open a cmd window and cd..to the folder
and type perl eqemu_server.pl It has a great menu for many updates.

So, i managed to get the combat working in the revamped zones by changing the line "cancombat" from 0 to 1, now i only need to find how to make myself not teleport to the old ones when changing zones

Zone point table in Database.

totally forgot about cancombat

[BreakKickYou]

Kinda scared to even touch any of the lines in the zone_points table, don't want to mess everything up x)

It's really not hard lol, find the ECommons zoneline that ports to Freeport zoneline, and change the destination zone. Then find the new freeport zoneline and change it to the new EC zone number etc.

Make a backup dude, can't have everyone holding your hand through everything.

I am curious as to the resource of the database that you have installed. I've never used an installer, I do mine manually,
but even a simple "cancombat" flag, I have never found a zone that needed to have that edited to function as it should.
As far as zone points, I had to edit mine to actually go to the old versions, which is my preference for many of them.
My database just comes from the peq dump, but I figured the "installer" was grabbing a similiar copy ?

I know when you zone into the newer 'revamped' zones, most of them have their 'cancombat' flags set to 0.

There are several posts around on this.


I'm not 100% sure the reason..but, I think it has to do with keeping all of the supported clients in the same zone version.


EDIT: It's a database thing..nothing to do with the eqemulator server code nor Akkadius's installer.

Definately, it's a "peq thing", but the db I use, I got from that daily dump (couple months ago) and the "revamped" zones
came as all tagged with 1 for cancombat. They are still like that, even though I have them closed off. That's why I was
wondering if he got his db from the same dump.

Well to answer your question, i got the database from the installer ( it downloads itself during the installation )
