BUT the zone.exe that is taking the call is closing.>crashing> So i cant tell you what is there. i alt F4 EQ and there are only 4 zones up =/ any ideas? Did i miss something in the following?

Downloaded the EQEMu-0.5.1-Win32.zip unziped it into f:\eqemu
edit the 3 filles to:

exit
cls

I put db.sql and Server Update 0.5.1.sql in the mysql\bin directory
I go to that directory and type

mysql -u root
create database eq;
use eq;
source db.sql;
source dumpeditems.sql;
source Server Update 0.5.1.sql;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* to '%'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '%';

exit
I go back to eqemu directory and type
world adduser eqemu eqemu 200

then i run world.exe and boot5zones

The same thing happened to me, and i tried both sourcing in tcs dr2 db with fixes from another post , and also i went back and used the db.sql,itemsdump.sql ... and in both cases world.exe and zone.exe booted fine.

However when i made a char and attempted to enter world the zone.exe in that instance would crash, and world.exe was reporting..


Attempting autobootup of neriaka (40) for armanthus
received unknown opcode 0x02d2 size 0 bytes
received unknown opcode 0x00e7 size 0 bytes


This happened regardless of what db i was using....

Havent found a workaround.. would anyone care to give me a clue?

Redownload the release. It had a bug that Lethal took out earlier today.

[Tinv]

Working great. Great Turnaround on bugs guys

[Armanthuz]

What do we have to re-download the database or EQemu 5.1? I am having similar problems where I create my character and then enter the world only to be returned to the login screen. I am using the Moving Database that is listed in the world building forum. Do I have to redownload 5.1 or are you guys talking about a specific database that was fixed?

[rmm99]

They updated the 5.1 distro. Read the news on the front page of this site ~

Yea I checked. Turns out I have the latest version. I downloaded it Saturday the 29th
