Hi, I'm new to the forums and new to EQEmu server hosting in general. I was a player for a long time, but the server I played on went down and I was able to acquire the database files from the owner. I now want to host the server myself and put it back up.
I have followed the most recent method to setting up a server (
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...verSetupGuide). The first part I am confused about is when using SVN Checkout to download the peq database from
http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/peqdatabase. In my case, I already have a database, so instead of downloading the new one, I used mysql to source in my own database. First question is here - Was this the right thing to do? Should I still download the files from the site and source those?
Secondly, I set up the eqemu_config.xml file exactly as described in the wiki and made the start.bat file as instructed. I am able to get the server up in the EQEmu server list and when I log on to the server, my old characters appear, but they are naked and when I try to log on to play, it kicks me out. I checked in the logs and found that query cannot locate the items or characters. Can a kind soul please show me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your time.
