Probably a typo... please copy + paste from the actual window.

@ BArnett - yes. locate your eqgame.exe file in your everquest folder. remember the path name (something like "c:\program files\sony\everquest trilogy\eqgame.exe")

Make a shortcut to this file, and in the target line, make sure the target is:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest Trilogy\eqgame.exe" patchme

NOTE: your folders may be different, but still, put the target in quotes, and then press the spacebar once after the end quote and add "patchme" - make sure there are no extra spaces and that the patchme is outside of the quotes. this will now skip the patcher.

i got a wierd problem it seems i installed everythin and got stuck on the io:scalar file.......got past it and installed it and checked to see if it was in fact installed and it said it was got to the end of guide and i did run world.exe and boot5zone thing and all was good loading till zone windows at the end said error initializing perlembed: failed to install plugin printhook, do you lack io:scalar? ///// then it said one more after that saying fatal error initializing perl: failed to install plugin printhook, do you lack io:scalar?/////what do i do or miss???

ProjectEQ.net is DOA, is it coming back, or is there another spot to get the database scripts from?

http://www.Projecteq.net is back :) and i hope for long time :p

1-09-04_Compiled_Perl.zip link is dead

Is there another mirror?

Thanks

I to am looking for a mirror to the mirrored 6.0 DR2 Compiled download

yes thank you any now maybe a mod wil update the link in the tutorial?

Greetings ! ok , as to the guy or anyone for that matter whoe xperience the following problem..
you successfully install IO::Scalar, but you get the boot5zones error .. , if you notice in your c: directory or wherever you have the main perl folder, NOT INSIDE OF IT but in the same directory as your perl folder.. you will see one called .cpan
in there is everything you installed when you use the install IO::Scalar using the -MCPAN .. you were basically making a new folder called cpan to install it all to .. so what you do is go insid ethe folder, until you find the one with like lib and such (it will look like a bunch of the same folders in the ACTUAL perl folder) and you paste those i nto your perl folder, overlapping all files .. then it will run flawlessly :D, except for commands.pl error which is irrelevant ! if you have questions, still I'll attempt to assist !

Good luck :D

hokay, ive done all in the guide (im pretty sure ive done everything as ive reead through and checked everything about 5 times) and world.exe and the zone programs work, but when i try to log in i get a "timeout" error, whats the prob?

Help please.....

Here's my files first so we can get that out of the way, then i'll ask a simple question that hopefully you guys can answer...My first server, so please dont bash! :)

EQHOST.TXT

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=eqemulator.net:5998

DB.INI

Code:

 # READ README.TXT!

[Database]

host=localhost

user=******

password=****

database=eq

 

### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should

### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe

LOGINSERVER.INI

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.

### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.

### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqemulator.net

loginport=5994

worldname=JustTestingThanks

worldaddress=70.240.135.110

locked=false

account=

password=

 

[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=0

Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=

chataddress=

chatport=

And finally,

Boot5Zones.BAT

Code:

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting

REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------

echo You did not copy the spells_us.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.

PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------

That's basically all...

If you see an issue, let me know...I'll try it.

Everything connects fine to eqemu, but again I dont see my server called "JustTestingThanks Server" on there...any help would be appreciated.

It seems to me like your eqhost is on port 5998 and you are creating a 5994 type server. I dont know anything about a 6.0 type server but if you are sure thats the version client you have then try changing eqhost to port 5994.

When you log in to the server, is there any activity in the World.exe window or zone windows? I'm getting none, hehe...Again, its not going into the server select at all =/

So you should see yourself trying to log in..So maybe your server isnt "hearing" you at all. Maybe check your port settings in login and 5bootzones.
I run everything localhost and just set my server to public. But thats me. Thats not really the right way but it works.

EDIT>>Thats how a 6.1 looks. I dont really know what a 6.0 says but I suspect the same thing(new client logging in/ect...).

Uhh yeah hey guys. It's been a long time since I've been around. I've been playing WoW recently, and I haven't worked on eqemu in such a long time. I'd like to get my setup guide back up to date, so if anyone can you know, PM me with what the most up to date and compatable database(s) are, what the new loginserver port/address is, then I'll work on getting my guide up to date (most likely a .pdf or .doc file which I will host for download on my website.
