I just happened to click the pf file, so I thought they were all pf files. Anyway hopefully i can start on getting some zone going tonight.
btw happy birthday!

Cavedude has most of these zones populated - I don't know how he did it, but what ever he has, is very EQLive-Like", just unfinished. I suspect he may have use packet collectors also. This is why I start with his work.
Fact of the matter is, if you look good at the PEQ database you will see "left-over" data in there, that matches perfectly with the CaveDude DB.
For example, when I dumped npcs from cavedudes to to my DB (which was started with PEQ), the loots were already there, just like the ones in Cavedudes.
I think what PEQ did to start was, use Cavedudes as a base to start. I don't think starting from scratch (packet-collectors) is really not needed -these other people already have done that and have the data. what could be left for a packet collector to get in a zone? Named Mob? it could take days for just one of those to spawn - I'd rather find mine at allakhazam.
I dunno, maybe I have the wrong idea on what a packet collector does
