This may be a database problem but I'm not sure

[Robert Aught]

Hello

First, thanks for developing EQemu! I've spent the past couple of days pouring over all the info on your forums as I am setting up a server.

I can play on other people's servers (i.e. Scorpious 4.4dr1; Dark Assasin 4.4) but cannot on my own. I crash to desktop after creating/selecting a character on my server just prior to the character entering the zone from launch.

I can see this problem addressed in other posts but have yet to find a solution that works. I have a suspicion it's the UIFiles, but wouldn't know where to begin as I've been successful logging onto both 4.4 and 4.4dr1 servers. Also checking the UIErrors file and nothing shows up.

While running world I can see other people log in, create characters, interact with merchants and cast spells so it seems the server is working to some degree.

I have set up 4.4 and then 4.4dr1 on top of that with the world and the database item files from edward pinniger: http://forums.eqemu.net/viewtopic.ph...t=router+ports

My sql version is 4.0.13 as your readme asks to download the latest version, although your direct link points to 4.0.12 at least as of today.

Server: Windows 2000, p3 550 mHz, 128meg ram

Client: Windows 2000 with directx, p4 1.6gHz, 512meg ram

I am running a NAT router which has the server DMZ'd and zone ports as well as port 9000 are forwarded there. The server is protected by sygate personal firewall software which allows world traffic through. It's connected to a cable modem with 128 mbps upload.

The client is also on this router but doesn't have any special settings other than it gets its IP from the router's DHCP.

My server is connected to through your login server. LoginServer.ini:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=08.ZIYA (testing)
worldaddress=24.42.150.*** (or whatever, it's not static)
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

Mysql seems to be running correctly, although I notice that occasionally I see a compression error - 3 scroll by in the world console screen.

To launch the client I use eqgame patchme from a duplicate EQ folder and the last patchdate for eqgame was December 5th 2002.

I understand that I am running a developer release although I see others running 44dr1 successfully.

Perhaps a clean install back to 4.4? I appreciate anyone's help.
