One thing after another :)

Wanting to run a standalone server with XP.
Installed Mysql and EQemu 4.2, set it up and got 1017 error. Downloaded and installed 4.3 DR1- Telnet and got past the 1017 error and got a patch error.
Downloaded patcher and fix and got logged into the character screen, woot.
Made character and entered world, guess what, no npc's.
Any ideas or fixes?

what DB do you have? You have to have a good DB for mobs to work.

go to http://cecugfile.net/ and download the 4.3 DR-2 DB and use it with eqemu 4.3 DR-2. The spawns file in 4.1 DB has a problem sourcing, but 4.3 DR-2 DB works great.
