Errors from World.exe (Pic's Included)

Have you tried reading the PEQ forums? They have an entire section just for the database updates. Should be able to find just about any answers you might need from there. As for the utils directory, that is something that comes with the source code. You can download the source code and check the directory there if needed. But, I believe that when Cavedude creates new binaries, he also makes sure to make a package of the PEQ database to match that revision. So, really, if you download the right database revision, you shouldn't need to do any other sql updates.

Well I had somewhat better luck today. I used the Ax DB and I was able to get all the way to the character select screen and make a character on my server. I just couldnt zone into any zones because it kept saying that the zones were unavailable. The server I am making is just for myself so I am using the minilogin server to keep it local.

Gonna surf around here on the forums and see if I can find something that stands out.

If you are using AX DB, make sure you set your start.bat to start the launcher named "zones" instead of "zone". It has to match what is in your database and the default for AX is named "zones" for some reason. You can also change that in the Launcher table if you wish instead of the start.bat. It doesn't matter what you call them as long as they both match.

Hmm let me give that a try and see how that works.

That did it! I am able to log onto my own server now locally!

I get the same "reported state STARTED/STOPPED" cycle that the OP shows above. Changing the name from "zone" to "zones" did not remedy the problem.

However, from the guide, it says I should see:

Code:

Connected to Loginserver: eqemulator.net:5998
Loginserver provided 75.117.218.2 as world address

I see the first line but not the second "Loginserver provided" line.

Suggestions?

Ok, I've progressed past this butnow encounter "Zone not found in database" and the characters are moved at the character creation screen to the Arena. However, the Arena never loads.

Anyone?

Make sure you have all of the tables in your database and that the server is able to get logged into your database. You should have a zones table in there.
