I'm guessing this may be part of the problem?

Code:

---

[02.15. - 11:50:01] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for EQOffline:BotManaRegen

Not sure what version binaries your using vs. database version?

I am using PEQ rev299 for the db

The actual eqemu server files are from the revision302.zip from the peq google svn featured download section.

That error looks like I have rules in the rule table that it does not know how to use. I suspect that should not cause any crash... but I could be wrong. I will delete those rules to test..

I removed those rules and now the error is not in the log file, but zone.exe still does not start.

Ok. I feel comfortable moving my live server up to eqemu rev233 for now. Going to do that now and then wait until I can get the newer versions working on my backup machine before proceeding.

Better than nothing.

Alright we are live on rev233 with no loss of custom loot/quests/npcs...

Going to resume trying the full upgrade next weekend. For now, time to play!
