Hmm idk...I'll come back to that I guess and figure out what went wrong if anything.
I think I missed the source peqdb_rev2506.sql step initially before I went back read and followed the steps over again.
Right now I'm looking at the eqemu_config.xml portion of the guide. I changed the server shortname/longname and it showed up on the shortcutlaunch.exe one thing I'm unsure on though is it says edit the items highlighted in red.
It said step 5 port forwarding I can skip that for now for local network hosting so I assume those red portions of the eqemu_config.xml I can skip for the time being as well if or until I feel like hosting a server?
These two sections I'm not sure 100% on I assume I have to change them to match.
<database>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>
xxxxx</password>
<db>
peq</db>
</database>
<qsdatabase>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>
xxxxx</password>
<db>
peq</db>
I'm assuming the password is the password I chose for "mysql -p_____" and I edit that over and the db is my Type source peqdb_revNNNN.sql in my case "peqdb_rev2506" ,but that's just a estimated guess.
Anyway I'll tamper with it a bit and see if my suspicion is right or not and I can get this thing working properly then some of the fun begins hopefully.
