Quest Problems

[merb]

Well, I'm at my wits end. My quests simply are not working. I've went down the list and checked off the obvious things, none of which have fixed my problem. I'm using build 5.8.7 of Active Perl, I have done the ppm thing (DBI, DBD-MySQL, IO-Stringy, all installed fine), I've tried #reloadpl and #repop numerous times, I've check to make sure the script itself was set up correctly (and I've even run it through the perl interpreter, no errors found), I have the check_hasitem, check_handin, guildmasters, and soulbinders plugins in my Emu directory, I've tried naming the quest script by both the NPC name and ID, and the only other possible hint towards a quest problem I could find is this:

[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to find rule 'TaskSystem:EnableTaskSystem'
[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for TaskSystem:EnableTaskSystem

[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for TaskSystem:EnableTaskProximity

[10.10. - 17:05:07] [RULES__ERROR] Unable to interpret rule record for World:ClearTempMerchantlist

With all of those errors, I figured at least one involves quests, which is why mine won't work, but I have no idea how to fix it... Does anybody have any suggestions before I explode?

I think those errors refer to a rule being in your database that the code does not have defined. If you download the latest code from the SVN they should go away. However, that should not effect your quests.

You probably already checked this but... are your quests in the quests folder? not under quests\quests\

I always have 2 copies of a quest, and it has never broken them before. The two folders for my quests are:

EQEmu\quests\<zonename>

and

ax_classic_db\quests_ax_classic\<zonename>

Do I need to rename the "quests_ax_classic" to just "quests like the previous folder?

You have to insert the Task system rules into the database. It looks like maybe you didn't do all the required sql stuff when you got the latest version of the code. Make sure you do that. I'm running r89 and PEQ and it's working fine.

I took out all of the updates from the changelogs and compiled them into a single .sql file and sourced it. I'll try it again and see if I still get the errors and I'll see if that fixes it

I don't think these were actually in the changelogs but a file that Derision linked in the forums. Look in the task thread and you should find it.

I'll give that a look but I ran the .sql file again and it gave me duplicates of everything, so I already did that. I also took a peek in the quests_ax_classic folder and read the "README_NOW" file. It says "These are the quests needed for the ax_classic and ax_peq database. If you don't use these quests, the database will not work right." and it's referencing to some quests that were in the folder by default.
