I don't know whether some one has met the problem like this.
I have build a server follow the "The most up-to-date Windows Server Installation guide" (
http://www.eqemulator.org/wiki/wikka...CategoryServer)
I've followed every steps except build the database. Because I cannot get the database by the link in the guide. I use the database rev1751 and upgrade to the newest version with the sql scripts in EQ\source\util\sql\svn. It works. I can start loginServer, shared_memory, world, queryserv, ucs and launch_zone. I have checked the logs and no error reported. I can login by the client version Titaim.
When I think I have started a server successfully, I found there's no NPC in the Zone. I go to many zones in game, No NPCs, No mobs.
I can spawn NPC by spawn command. But nothing happened by dbspawn2 command. I have debug the zone init process. I cannot find out why there's no NPC spawned there.
Did anyone meet this problem, Or is there anyone can help me? Or give me some suggestions? Thank you.
