OK I finished doing everything, it works great! Nice work!

Edit: Fixed all the errors up top, totally borked those somehow. I knew id forget something! First time with perl and sql, heh.

sweet, i hadnt tried it since i typed it out, im about to do that myself on the other computer.

Glad it worked though, tahts good news for me! I did most of the perl and eqemu stuff a couple days ago, and have been messing with the database since then trying to get it to work...

Hurrah, just glad theres finally something people can work off of 1 source wise :P

Now just gotta find out how you modify this stuff because so many of these mobs are just not quite right...

OK maybe I spoke too soon, I am having the 1017 error after clicking Play Everquest but I think thats because of my router, and doesn't have to do with your instructions.

Nice tutorial, this one of best i see
But link for download pre-patch 05/11/2005 everquest files is against forum's rules... (http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/announcement.php?f=586).
You may be permaban for that :(
I'm not moderator, administrator or devs in eqemu, this is just a advice.
This is my last message for this kind of rules. In french country, backpatch are not considered like warez, if you have the original software.

Hopefully if he just takes that link out and puts a notice that ppl have to have copy of the pre 5/11 patch he should be gtg.
I will erase my old DB and try and mostly start from scratch trying this see if I can finally get my lil server going correctly and be seen hehe.

nor is it /truely/ considered 'warez' here in the states, but everyone uses the word in the broadest possible sense anyways.

strike what I said earlier. eqemu works as well as it does because it's developed in the legal grey/white area and because SOE can't do anything about them as long as that's the case. (for now!) allowing links to older files, even for just a few moments, puts the emu's developement at risk.

I don't think he has to change his language, however. He could link to Dr. Zauis's system resore idea, for example. A number of custom-legit servers, too, have a solution for this problem.

Yeah, great tutorial, but do us all a favor and edit that link for pre patch from your post please. Don't want one mistake to ruin it for the rest of us.

I just tried updating to live from the patch given above. There is NOTHING different. All the server downloaded was eqhost.ini which I had changed, even after a full file scan. The EQ Version number program gave the same version number as well.

Dunno if that means he has to take it down, but that patch isn't worth much unless you know what version of EQ you have to patch it from.

So I'm thinking that the fact I get stuck at the 1017 error and can't get past the log in screen trying to log onto other EQEmu servers is because the patch given above is the same as live.
