Lmao I decided to peak at the code myself...and its a joke.

Code:
 char tmpname[64];
           int count0 = 0;
           bool filefound = false;
           tmpf = fopen(filename.c_str(), "r");
           if(tmpf != NULL) {
                fclose(tmpf);
                filefound = true;
           }
WTF is tmpname doing there? its not even used.

or how about

Code:
        filename = "quests/";
                     filename += QUEST_TEMPLATES_DIRECTORY;
                     filename += "/";
                     filename += tmpname;
                     filename += ".pl";
Come on put that shit on one line. Talk about sloppy.

or hey here is some really great code
Code:
    tmpname[0] = 0;
           //if there is no file for the NPC's ID, try for the NPC's name
           if(! filefound) {
                //revert to just path
                filename = bnfilename;
                const NPCType *npct = database.GetNPCType(npcid);
                if(npct == NULL) {
 //LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "     no npc type");
                     //revert and go on with life
                     filename += itoa(npcid);
                     filename += ".pl";
                     curmode = questByID;
                } else {
                     //trace out the ` characters, turn into -
 
                     int nlen = strlen(npct->name);
                     if(nlen < 64) {     //just to make sure
                          int r;
                          //this should get our NULL as well..
                          for(r = 0; r <= nlen; r++) {
                               tmpname[r] = npct->name[r];
 
                               //watch for 00 delimiter
                               if(tmpname[r] == '0') {
                                    count0++;
                                    if(count0 > 1) {     //second '0'
                                         //stop before previous 0
                                         tmpname[r-1] = '\0';
                                         break;
                                    }
                               } else {
                                    count0 = 0;
                               }
 
                               //rewrite ` to be more file name friendly
                               if(tmpname[r] == '`')
                                    tmpname[r] = '-';
 
                          }
                          filename += tmpname;
                          filename += ".pl";
                          curmode = questByName;
                     } else {
 //LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "     namelen too long");
                          //revert and go on with life, again
                          filename += itoa(npcid);
                          filename += ".pl";
                          curmode = questByID;
                     }
                }
Wow you know if i did shit like that at work, id be fired on the spot. not only fired id be laughed out of the fucking building and shot.

You know back in the day we had a project leader that would inspect changes like this.

Wtf not tested on windows?! Whats that bs? It compiles SHIP IT! If your going to write code just for nix fork the project and release the code as "nix compile". My oh my how eqemu has degraded. I almost hate saying this, but where is hogie when ya need him.

First of all, do any of your quests work ?
If they do not, then you have a problem with your Perl install. If Perl is not working, then your quests will not work. This only means you didn't follow instructions on install, and need to read again.

what name did you give to the NPC that's related to the perl file?

It seems to me, you want to do too much, too soon. If you are not familiar with Perl or MySql, you need to start by learning some of that first.

What database are you using?

I re-installed pearl but it still doesnt work. I noticed that the .pl files changed into like a ghecko thing. Before that they had a notepad icon. I thought that had fixed it but when i started my server and logged in the hail button still didnt work. Whats wrong with my server, i dont see any other people with this problem. Is it just me?

Maybe you should paste all the output from the zone bootup here so people can get an idea of what your server is doing.

Do you mean you have perl installed and it doesn't work for EqEmu, or it doesn't work at all?
here's a test:
Can you run a command window , type in "perl" and hit enter key , what happens? do you get a "perl is not reconized ... (etc)" error?
In that same command window, type in PATH and hit enter - do you see something like "C:\Perl\bin" in there?
If Perl is not in the path, then you need to re-install and make sure you select that option. also try and change the path and install to "C:\Perl\bin", as that is how it originally was with EqEmu.
