Zone Dynamic 01 Constantly Restarting (Database sourcing problem?)

[NEEDADISPENSERHERE]

Hello all. I've searched up and down on google and this website and can't seem to find an answer to my problem. Sorry in advance for the wall of text, I put a tldr at the bottom.

I followed every single step in this guide: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...rverSetupGuide

*However*, I run into a problem at step 4 (http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...tupGuide#Step4) where it says to grab the peq database (http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/sv...k/peqdatabase), and then says "[n]ext, go to the folder C:\EQ\SQL and unzip the file from peqdb_revNNNN.sql.gz."

This file is no longer on the website, and there is a textfile called "DO_NOT_USE_THIS_DB" which contains a link to a more up-to-date database (http://peqtgc.com/releases). I downloaded the beta database file and the quests file. I wasn't really sure what to do from here, so I sourced "load_player.sql" and "load_bots.sql" from the old link and then just sourced "drop_system.sql" and "peqbeta_2013-09-14-02_01.sql" from the new link.

When I got my server all setup and ran it, zone.exe gave errors. I then extracted all the quests from the new database link and replaced the old quest files in C:/EQ/EQEmuServer/Quests and sourced "user_tables_2013-09-14-02_01.sql" and "source_views.sql" which obviously didn't work and probably made things worse (sourcing user tables almost made my cmmd prompt crash).

So can anyone help me out as to what I did wrong? I don't have specific error logs with me now, but I don't really know how to post logs here (the log text files don't give full details like running zone.exe in cmmd prompt does), and I have a feeling all of this is due to me not properly setting and sourcing my database.

TLDR;
-old database: http://projecteqdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/peqdatabase
-new database: http://peqtgc.com/releases
-was confused by directions, so sourced "load_player.sql" and "load_bots.sql" from old database and "drop_system.sql" and "peqbeta_2013-09-14-02_01.sql" from the new database (followed by "user_tables_2013-09-14-02_01.sql" and "source_views.sql" when I got zone errors)
-still getting zone errors (peq.zone doesn't exist), faction errors, etc.
-guessing I screwed up step four, help please

Appreciate any response, and sorry again for the messy walkthrough.
