Unable to read perl file
 

Hi, I was wondering about the 'Unable to read perl file' portions of this log. Our server gets this quite a bit and I was wondering what it means. I have looked in the C:/eqemu/quests/spells folders and none of these files exist in there. Also, 'quests/dragonscaleb/player.pl' does not exist. Can anyone help me out what this means and should/can we fix it?

Any help is appreciated, thank you =)

This is a bug in the script. Kind of hard to figure out from that error message what the bug is. Only thing I could see out of the ordinary when looking is that script $ColNum is not declared with a 'my', but I'm not sure that's what is causing that error.
Wish I could help you with this one :(
This is because path_tools.pl is redefining a sub method that already exists in formation_tools.pl
These are just informational, there is no special handling for spells with those id numbers or there's no special script for when a player enters dragonscaleb. If the file is found, then it wouldn't make those logs and the special scripting would execute. You can see some zones do have a player.pl and you can look in /quests/spells/ folder to see how some spells are specially handled.

As always, you are awesome Congdar. Thank you =)
