zone not connecting to world
 
Hi guys.

When startin 0.5.6 world.exe it starts with no error but when starting the zones they dont connect to the world.

the zones stops loading after loading NPCtypes from database.
I'm using the database for 0.5.6.

The inis are all correct. so i cant explain how to fix this.

Are you using the blank db.sql that comes with 5.6, or sourcing in MW's database as per Jezebell's guide:

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13403

I vaguely recall seeing the same symptoms in the past, IIRC if I left zone.exe for 5 or 10 minutes it would spit out an Emusharemem timeout error. If I remember correctly it was because I hadn't sourced in the doorupdate-03-15-04.sql file.

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 02:27 AM

i sourced it like its written in the guide.

Can you post your Ini files in here ? Maybe its an error in them, and we would be able to fix them easier

...and World.exe and Zone.exe?

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 04:28 AM

world.exe no error as i told u. Zone normal till that line i copied.

Monrezz 04-22-2004 05:30 AM

Paste the outputs anyway, they're useful.

Try re-sourcing the database (use the complete database that is out by mikenune - will be easier. Btw thanks Mike! :))

Looks like you'll have something not working. If you don't want to re-do your entire database empty the NPC types table so it has 0 entries, but same structure.

Could be that your computer is shitty and is taking ages to load the data, could be a problem with your database, or could be a problem with your Zone.exe.

Try emptying your NPC types table and booting Zone.exe;
Try using a different Zone executable (same version as world);
Try re-sourcing your entire database (could use mikenune's sql);

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 06:05 AM

sourced this database ... same issues

PC is Athlon 2000+ 1024 MBRam etc not really shitty.

tried many releases 0.5.5, redl the emu nothing helps.

Ark. Open your task manager and make sure you close down all non-essential tasks running. Perhaps something is conflicting there. I found on my server that when I had some apps running they would cause me to slow down on loading eqemu. I have a new server install with winxp and nothing else but eqemu and related tools installed and it works perfectly and runs butter smooth. Might be worth a try bro.
Hope it helps!

Arkaiden, I had problems running EQEMu 0.5.6 on my old DB (ver 0.5.5). My problems were different than yours but I ended up having to completely wipe my old DB and start over.

And you're right about your computer not being shitty. Zone.exe should only take 5 - 10 seconds to fully load on your comp.

Also, it looks like you're running a firewall or router (noticed you're using a 192.168 address for your internal instead of 127.0.0.1). You might want to look at how you're forwarding ports. Also, if you're running your Zone Servers on the same box as your World Server then you could probably get away with telling them to try and connect on 127.0.0.1.

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 08:34 AM

the 192.168.X.X is just one of my tests ... doesnt matter if localhost or 127.0.0.1 or any ip of this pc .... i have definately no firewall installed. its just a win2k3 server with deactivated integrated firewall and no other installed.



Arkaiden

i wiped the db so often i even cant remember ... its also about the 20th server i put up and this is the first time this error happens....

[edit]
btw u have a little error in ur howto =) its use eq; not use database eq;
=)

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 09:12 AM

ok guys after letting the world and the zone alone for about half an hour they came together and i have some errors to report, even though i never heard of them.

Those defaults to access level 0 are just warnings but the server will function just fine without you taking any action.

That error has been fixed with the new version of the DB. If you're getting that error then you're downloading the eqemu055.sql.zip instead of eqemu056.zip one. I just uploaded it at 4:30 am this morning! :P

Arkaiden 04-22-2004 05:53 PM

i dled the 0.5.6 one. but retrieing and dling again to be 100%sure

Arkaiden

Anyways this one of the diffent setup i have used.. the zoning issue shows up in all. May have something to do with DB or eqclient install... Working on it.

NarutoLegacy 04-24-2004 04:22 PM

Post your eqhost.txt, it should all be set to 127.0.0.1

isamu5150 04-24-2004 05:06 PM

alright NarutoLegacy!!!
That was it. I was changing an old backup of eqhost.txt file.
Just a minor 4am detail i missed. Guess i need to sleep when im tired. Thanks again Naruto...
