yet again im having the same issue Genesis, So i went on my way Searching for an Old DB as i was certin that was the issue.. in my search i finaly found this
http://www.projecteq.net/downloads.php
and downloaded the 0.7.0-1110a DB
Then i went here
http://www.eqemulator.net/download.php
and downloaded the proper Emu win32
how ever 0.7.0-1110a DB is only 4 files i supose its an update possably? . how ever i took the 4 files droped them in to the folder i sent the CVS dl of the DB (c:\peqbd), then after dumping my current DB Via navcat, following the tutorial i recreated the DB.
Code:
Click Start->Run-> and type in cmd to bring up your command prompt
Now type in cd\peqdb
You should be at C:\peqdb>
Now type in
mysql -u root -p
and type in your password (from the Instance Configuration Wizard)
If that is correct, you now need to type in the following commands, pressing enter after each line.
create database peq;
\u peq
source load_player.sql
(wait until this is done. 1~5 min)
Note : Here insted of the peqdb_XXXXx.sql i sourced in load_system.sql
source load_system.sql
(wait until this is done.)
Once that is done, you need to run one more code while your in here,
set password for 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
note in the code
also i never had to reset my PW eather possably cause i had already made a prior peqbd ?possably i will need to later ?
once i did that went to navcat double checked the peqdb and it was all there so i ran my client ..
it works, but as it is, im now running on this current revision XD
..
currently i have tried several times to reinstall fully from scratch useing the most current information. yet this is the only one that has allowed me to finaly log in to my own server XD
p.s it did crash on me. the zone.exe was having errors and crashing how ever i found that through all my unpacking, deleting and moving. i forgot to put the SPELL files back in to the eqemu folder XD , how ever once they were in place it was all working properly
well i know its not a fix but a temporary suplament to get on to a personal server
In a few days ill try a new CVS DL and see if that one works, cause i really want Bots that or Cavedude which perl do you use and why are the core files with or with out bots that you linked there so much bigger than the ones hosted on this site ?
