FYI

Windows 2016 test today.

Noticed a few things that were funky.

I'm completely familiar with the manual setup of EQ, as I've done this a few hundred times.

During the automated install I noticed the database didn't have the correct player_tables sourced in.

I manually sourced the player tables in the zip that the installer pulls, still didn't contain the correct data.

I then grabbed the weekly from PEQ directly (peqbeta_2017-02-22-02-01.tar.gz) and sourced everything manually.

The correct tables showed.

Not sure if I made a mistake somewhere (Possible) but wanted to bring this to akkadius' attention.

Can see there's missing tables in peqbeta.sql/player_tables.sql as compared to peqbeta_2017-02-22-02:01.sql/player_tables_2017-02-22-02:01.sql

Just an observation, is anyone else having this issue or just me?

Does https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/comm...2dea91630b4cbd get after the issue?

Guess he already caught it.

Well disregard lol.

Was a fresh install using the script this morning.

Figured I'd bring it to attention.

Okay so I've been trying to setup a server since yesterday. Went through the link shown in the Getting Started Guide that is shown on the main page (which is the Complete Windows-based Server Setup Guide, but that broke down at the SVN Checkout phase. Then I found the Akka Server Setup Install linked here and that actually got everything setup in just a few moments (great work on that).

My issue now is when I run the t_start_server.bat or the t_start_server_with_login_server.bat I'm getting this weird loop where it starts out at 0/30 zones then gets to 30/30 zones and then restarts the process over and over. I see a few windows pop up but nothing else. I went through every step outlined in the guide even though I guess eqemu_update.pl has been replaced with eqemu_server.pl? I didn't see that mentioned in the guide :/.

Anyway, I'm currently stuck in this loop. Hoping someone else has dealt with this and figured it out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked before, but there are so many "guides" and "wiki pages" that seem to be out of date now that I was hoping to get some info straight from the source.

Installer is broken due to PEQ being moved recently. Have patience and I'll fix it when I have a moment, I've been on vacation and I'll update when it's fixed

Thanks Akkadius. I appreciate the quick response. Just wanted to make sure I didn't skip something important. Certainly no rush on my account. Please, enjoy your vacation!

I fixed the PEQ dumps.

I've also tested the installer again, it seems to be happy now.

Let me know if you guys run into anything else.

Well, just for verification purposes, I spun up a new VM (2k12) and it installed just fine.

No issues I can see.

thanks bruh

I can confirm all my issues have now been fixed. Thank you so much for the speedy fix Akkadius!

Mercenaries
 

Good evening -

Details:
- In-house Server (only for local lan play)
- ROF2 client
- Windows 10 x64 Pro Server
- Using latest PEQ database

I'm wondering if anyone using Akka's Win Server installer has Mercenaries working? Upon trying initially I was unable to get the Mercenary Vendors to even acknowledge a right click to bring up a vendor window. I ran the SQL against PEQ and was able to get the merchant window to appear
<code>UPDATE `peq`.`npc_types` SET `class`='71' WHERE `lastname` LIKE '%Mercenary Liaison'; </code>
Needless to say I see posts that it is possible to do this but I'm looking for a step by step or hyperlink that addresses this further as I've so far been unable to find one that directly applies.
To those that ask why not use BOTS is that I'm wanting the ability to generate Mercs instead of Bots...
Originally I found this site http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40713 and only the last statement worked against the database.

TIA,

Ruldain

P.S. - Love the work done so far on this - 17 year fan of EQ

Question.

I am trying to use Akkadius sever self-install on friends PC which runs Windows Vista and install doesn't seem to ever finish - even after an hour of running.
I know Vista is a crapy os, but this what I have to work with, does self-install even works on Vista?

Thanks!

I honestly don't know...

Have you tried downloading newer runtimes?

Sorry no, I will try. ;)
I didn't had much time to play with it, was hopping auto-installer to take care of that ;)

I do realize Vista probably wasn't even considered as server platform ;)

After running the t_start_server.BAT
I got this error.
