Lol yeah I had run into the same problem. Took me a good 15-20 minutes to remember about that variable lol.

Edgar - Here's the steps I've followed:

Database
=======
- Blown away the database & created a new one
- Loaded up the PEQ_Classic database
- sourced the files listed on the 6.0DR1 DB page (aa_levels, altadv_vars, wr_update) => No errors observered
- Ran the sql command the world.exe process requested (about 'unknown008') => No errors observed

Client
====
- patched my client to live EQ to make sure its current

Server
=====
- Grabbed the latest software from WINCVS/compiled


Observations
==========
- I still get the black screen after I create a character and try to zone in (see detail below).
- When trying to zone in, the client will do a (quick) load of the first completion bar, will pause for about 10-15 seconds, will NOT do the second load I usually see, but just go straight to a black screen.
- Also, I get the same symptoms when trying to log into anyone else's 6.0DR1 servers.
- There's nothing that goes into the server error log

One thing I've noticed - when I run the process to load up the barebones database, I zone in fine and everything works as expected. Its only when using the PEQ database that I run into this.

Thanks for all your help with this.

I too am running into the exact same error when i left Erudin palace and into the heavier populated mob zone. Things seemed ok until then. I too am running 6.0 dr1 and had problems on other peoples servers, at least two others i tried, especially when zoning.

enable berserkers and it will fix this problem

How do you do that? I'm assuming its a sql/database command? I did a search for "enable beserker" and couldn't find a match.

I have no idea either, pretend i know nothing. Which is very true. What is the actual command ?

beserker
 

i think you have to put a 255 in the variable table under expansions

Re: beserker
 

If it is that, here's the command:

update variables set value=255 where varname like 'expansions';

That's already in my database; it's step 16 in this post (on page 6, Chrysm's post).

Mine has always been set to 255, same black screens. That's not the problem.

Black Screens
 

I too get these occasionally, with or without the 255 variable set.

Normally this happens after I've attempted(and failed) to load in due to some other issue with my DB.

To correct it, normally, all I do is reboot the system that EQEmu is running on and everything works normal.


After updating to the latest compiled release and getting the error about the rezzed field not being there, I started getting the black screen on login. I rebooted the system, and on the next login everything was fine.

Another small issue..
 

When fighting mobs with pets, if you kill the pet first, you cannot kill its master afterwards, unless it summons another pet.

I've noticed that when fighting a mob with a pet, when the pet is damaged by you, its not reflecting that its the pet, but its master instead. The pet itself takes the damage, but EQEmu does not show in the log that the pet is the one taking damage.

IE - I fight an Innoruuks Chosen who has an SK pet. My damage shield is constantly beating on this pet(and showing as though I'm doing the DS damage to the mob), and it dies before the chosen does. I can no longer do any damage to the chosen. I feign, wait for the mob to go back to spawn and recast a pet. As soon as the pet comes out, I break feign, and attack the chosen again, I'm able to do damage to the chosen now that another pet has popped.

Re: Black Screens
 

Interesting.. I'll try that tonight just for the hell of it. I haven't rebooted that box in probably 3 weeks.

Agreed - I'm going to try that now. If anyone wants to test to Zorpomatic server at about 2:00 PST CST and post back here to see if you can login, we can see if that clears the issue (I don't have access to an EQ client at work).

Sounds like me until I started running EQEmu... now I reboot that box every day or so. ^.^

I tried this when i got home today, when going into Erudin Palace i still get....

Over and over again, but some zones seem fine.
