Oh i know it an error on my end. just gets frustrating. i just ended up removing all the programs related to running a server. give myself a breather day or two and come back at it.

5.14 is the newest.

i mean 5.12 lol

I just posted binaries on the SVN compiled against ActivePerl 5.12.4. I was able to log in and do a basic quest, so I assume it's okay. However, I only changed the lib reference in the code and nothing else. (We were setup for Perl 5.10.) I know in the past Perl upgrades have broken part of our quest subsystem so I make no guarantee that all quest functions work 100% with the newest Perl.

If everything checks out, we can go ahead and change the lib reference on SVN. Windows users will just need to upgrade their ActivePerl version.

Once i did what Melandril said. I compiled my own server and its running fine. no problems yet besides trying to get all the new spells and other things to work.

Also is there an easy way to get the items that are missing their icons and graphics to work?

that sounds like a client issue =/

I do not know off the top of my head; however, I feel confident that there are threads on this topic in the forums ;-) (I remember seeing at least one thread that points out both why one sees a beaded necklace for missing icons and how to correct it.)

On the other hand, if you're talking about using the newer icons for items you're creating, that's an entirely different issue.

nope you hit it right on the head. Searchin the forums now.

Might wanna look at this one
