first of all dowload this, right-click > save target as > copy to your eqemu folder

eqtime.cfg

at least that should fix those errors at the beginning.

when i boot it up i dunno if that matters just posting that too

you need to add those commands to the addon.ini file.

All those errors mean is that those commands (help, version, serversidename, loc, flag, and si) don't have a required level to be used and it's defaulting the level to "everyone who's logged in". This is only a problem if you are running a Legit, Custom-Legit, or Semi-Legit server and don't want people to use commands like si or flag. Normally I just ignore them but if you want, you can add the following lines to the bottom of your 'addon.ini' file to get rid of those errors (note this won't actually change who can/cannot use them, it will just remove the error message).

addon.ini

Re: HOWTO: Setup an EQEmu server as of 04/23/04
 

So I went for the complete db... but...
You should have warned that everytime it finds a duplicate entry it makes the computer speaker BEEP!!!! :evil:
It's been beeping all the time now for 30mins. and I can feel my head is about to explode!!! :shock: :x :roll: :cry: :oops: (there are just not enough emoticons to represent how i feel right now)
Im going to the most apart room from this one now...
I was about to pull the speaker cord few time ago, but reconsidered after noticing the reset wire next to it.
And, NO, my comp. speaker control doesnt work.

Apart from that... Thank you for the tutorial. I've spent the whole night trying to get the server working, but seems that the guide on the main page is a lil outdated. Hope this one works. Thanks. :)

lol I found that out too.. took me 12 hours to finish... I had to disconect speaker :/

Thanks for the telling the time it took you. Ive decided to finally pull out the cord. Its been like 6 hours now and still beeeping.
Done. Wow, what a silence. Its like relaxing. phew :D

from the DOS prompt browse to mysql\bin and type:

mysql -f [database name] < [file name to source]

FOr instance, mine looked like the following:

No beeping and only errors are output. Thanks to someone else in another thread for pointing this out.

erb2k, it looks like you don't have a complete database. As long as you don't have any custom items/spawns/loot tables/etc. then I'd suggest deleting your old eq DB and resourcing using this one. I've heard mixed reviews as to whether or not it works on a 5.7 server, but it should work fine on both versions 5.5 and 5.6. Just follow the directions in the packaged REATME.TXT file and you should be fine.

I tried downloading these, and I couldn't get either one. Does anyone know if the links still work, or where I can get them? Are they even necessary? Thanks!
