Issues With 1002:

[Irreverent]

Ok, finally I think I can be of use! I was having this issue yesterday....


...make sure you copy your spell files to the directory or it will look like it loads, but as soon as a char connects(and npcs want to buff)...*crash*

I found the fix to it. It was because I thought I was so smart, I didn't have to double check anything.

Well when you install a new version
-Create directory / expand into it
-Copy quests
-copy plugins
-copy maps
-COPY the 2 spell files to the root directory!!!!(this was issue)
-copy the .xml for your server

Fixed =) Thanks so much.

Umm, if you were running the 992 rev, you shoudl of already had your spell files in place, otherwise you would of already had this error.

Just out of curiosity though.

[Irreverent]

Not if he's like me and installed into a new directory in case you wanted to revert back to 992.

[So_1337]

Precisely. I didn't just overwrite the 992 folder with the 1002 files.

Are you guys compiling, or are you using the Win32 Binaries posted? If you use the binaries, you only need one folder (c:\eqemu) with the binaries - just overwrite old with new binaries whan they update.

[So_1337]

Binaries. But I don't like a situation (like what was happening), where the server wouldn't work properly after I upgraded. I don't like leaving my players hanging.

Though, if I simply overwrote, I wouldn't have had that issue anyway, so it's a catch 22 =P
