Well I'm definately not the most intelligent but I feel for you situation. It sounds to me like it's not a matter of reloading things, It just looks like you don't have table in your EQ database. When you do all the mysql stuff do you get any errors ? ALSO you might want to look at the NAMe of your server, I think it has to be like 12 chars or over to work and if you have less than that or like 10 your server will be active but it won't show in the login screen, at least.. I had this problem earlier today, same symptoms as you. Ex. my server name was "Futility" but that wouldn't show up in the server listing ! BUT "FutilityIncarnate" did ? weird but I seem to recall something like that from earlier versions, maybe it will help..

I tried :\

ok sounds good , ill take a look at that right now.
thank you



I must say my Forum experiences have always been horrid, 6 years of everquest LOL. looks like all the cool people that play EQ , quit regular game and came here thanks again guys

found out how to get procs and haste to work
here is the link

http://www.steelpsychos.com/index.php?link=eqemu.php

unzipp the update_zone.rar then only extract the zoneperl.exe into you c:\EQEmu folder replaceing the one u have it will allow haste items/spells to work along with procs from weaps and you should no longer have the pet construct error

As an FYI this would not work for me. It simply crashed my Zoneperl everytime i tried to login. So if it works for you congrats... No dice for me...

As for

Error: DBAsyncCB_LoadVariables failed: !GetAnswer: '#1146: Table 'eq.variables' doesn't exist

It sounds like your database simply wasnt loaded fully... You might have messed up the first one and tried to recreate the second one over the top of it without deleting...

Perhaps try deleting everything from your EQ database and just try redoing the database part... Or maybe try again with a different database name...

Great guide, I've followed it step by step. I'm almost there, but here is the problem: when I attempt to log in, it says I have 0/8 expansions enabled. Please help...
-------------------------
Figured out, the problem is actually no server shows up, similar to what Lagartijoo posted earlier. I'm using minilogin on the same PC, and when I try to connect, minilogin does show new client from 127.0.0.1, but I can't proceed because of no expansions enabled. Any ideas?

Im embarrassed to say but I on step 4 when you go to command prompt and you say navigate to the extracted DBI file I cant figure out how to navigate there.

[iwantavr4]

cd (locatation)
So for instance i unzipped mine to c:\temp\dbi and c;\temp\scalar

i would type:

cd c:\temp\dbi [enter]
ppm [enter]
install dbi.ppm [enter]
exit [enter]
cd c:\temp\scalar [enter]
ppm [enter]
install io-scalar.ppm [enter]
exit [enter]
