No, if you got the binaries from SVN, then they weren't compiled correctly. Sorry about that, it'll be fixed in Revision 86. I do strongly recommend using SVN as the PEQ DB is current with it, and it adds a ton of great new features to EQEmu.

cavedude, if I use your update link on the PEQ site, will it overwrite the customizations I've made to my DB? Also, by SVN are you referring to Subversion? If so, I did a search for PEQ and Project EQ on the entire domain with no results.

PEQ DB and Quests are obtained Via CVS not Subversion

Check this link for the addresses:

And this link for the changelog:

Does this website also have the Bot code? All I see is the link to the DB. But I suspect downloading that will overwrite my customization, no?

It doesn't contain the bot code. Just the db. It will overwrite any customizations that you have put into your db.

So then, I assume the binaries I downloaded from the Releases thread is the most current, and that it is complied incorrectly? Also, if I want to have the latest version of the DB AND maintain my customizations, is there a way to do that?

I would do it like this:

install fresh the entire PEQ database
as I make custom entries into the database, i also write them to my_custom.sql
now I play and have fun and make bots and destroy Norrath
now an update comes out for the PEQ database
download the update from cvs
run bot_npcs.bat to save all my bots
source drop_system.sql
source peqdb_9999b.sql
source my_custom.sql
source bot_npcs.sql

I'm happy and ready to play on the new updated database.

The newest binaries are here: http://code.google.com/p/projecteqemu/downloads/list and they work.

There is no easy way to merge the newest PEQ DB with custom system changes, unless like said above you saved them to a sql file and can source that in.
